How many are bots?

Its like facebook. Engagement is up, audience is increased, but, its likely by a small number of people. I started noticing that in the Aussie subs, that every week, near the weekend (right before night), there were obvious lobbyist posts, which suddenly shot up (stuff like pro guns, pro- one nation etc). At this point, our local racism party was clearly doing heavy lobbying on the platform (despite losing 30 years of elections, based on reddit, you’d think they were #1).

Like facebook, a lot of people are switching off now, and trying to find alternatives.

Moderation has also gotten really bad recently. I had an account for 14+ years, never got banned. Made a new account, and within a few months, I got a temp ban for apparently being racist (despite the fact, I spent a lot of time arguing AGAINST racism).

On facebook in fact, on the heatpump posts, I actually noticed 1 or 2 names pop up on almost all the adverts saying they were an engineer, and that heatpumps don’t work, etc (with bad info). Reddit allows infinite accounts, and no doubt, it is not much better there

Sailfish is also a great option too

Or is it similar to covid, where Trump simply stopped counting properly? And nobody bothers reporting anymore because Trump will release them anyway

That’s unfortunately pretty standard.

Whereas, on Facebook, nobody gets banned. I’ve literally reported people inciting violence towards others. However, it seems permitted by community standards these days

If you’re not shadow banned

I suspect they shadow banned me first for a few days, and probably pissed off a few racists who kept watching my account.

I had an account for 10+ years before deleting it and creating a new one. My old account never even got banned from a subreddit once in all that time. And I had other accounts Before that, so I suspect I was targeted on the last account I bothered with

You keep saying I’m weird or whatever. But, if you said this stuff in person, people would find you weird.

It’s literally the kind of thing our local racist here in Australia says.

It’s not bad for anyone. It’s just some weird power move

I’m blocking you now. Good bye

Probably not. There used to be shitty subs like the Donald and fat people hate too.

Yeah. And they were apparently “never going to win in SA either”. Everyone was happy with that result. SA is happy they lost, and ON supporters were somehow happy with being absolute failures too 😂

Elther that, or sometimes there is no benefit to swearing. And it’s fairly clear in not doing it to satisfy a machine.

But ok Mr gatekeeper. I don’t think ignorant means what you think it does

I prefer normal people who don’t give a sh** about stupid stuff like this. So agree to disagree. Not responding again

Go bully someone else instead

The Australian Subreddits got overrun by extremist right wing people who tend to be 20x louder than anyone else, and exaggerate everything.

One even reported me for being racist (successfully) despite the fact that the entire time I was fighting back against the racism

Even worse, you now need to log in to even see it at all in a mobile browser. So f that

It would also run Bitcoin mining, and send the money to Pauline, and then pretend it’s doing you a favour and saving taxpayer money

You’re right. I don’t

It’s one of those things that “anti woke” people would say to bully people who don’t stoop to their level lol

Actually, its super bizarre to make a big deal over something mundane like this. Guessing you’re that guy in real life who needs all your friends to be yes men, and agree with you.

No, I’m not changing it. You’ll survive, Karen… Maybe you should be more concerned about Trump’s scams…

Are you seriously getting offended by that 😂

You’ll assault them?

Like all those maga people who hate pedophiles (apparently)

He didn’t rob everyone… stormy Daniels however might be the only one he publicly actually ever paid (even if he tried to get a refund).

I’m willing to bet there are a lot of underage women and other women who he paid though who haven’t come forward

It was always going to be some sh** AliExpress Android phone anyway. There was definitely also going to be some kind of spyware/ harvesting happening

Here in Australia, this would likely be fraud by deception

Problem is, it’s been overrun by rage bait for clicks and vocal extremists.

It’s weird watching people think their opinion is popular because a handful of people are shouting it everywhere on Facebook.

It’s no longer fun, and there is no way to force only posts by people you know. So all the racist garbage gets lots of engagement and is also added to your feed

Long term they do, and they are the best placed for EVs in the future(especially since Elon went full Nazi at one point)

There are a more of US brands they’ll likely kill off I suspect

My friend worked and Nissan and he expects them to be gone soonish (he now works MG).

And the 4wd repair shop here in Australia doesn’t expect Jeep to be around in 10 years either

Whereas, I think everyone expects byd to be around in 10 years

It’s ironic that a guy who hates “chy-nah” so much and wants to “drill”, has likely done more to push Chinese cars worldwide, and EV’s than any other president in history.

Whilst quality of life has dropped, he’s also done an amazing job in pushing the AUD upwards vs USD too
