Comment on I hate the modern web
ameancow@lemmy.world 1 week agoI experimented a few times with throwaway accounts and yeah, they’re locking or shadowbanning people just for engaging with politics or social issues. They don’t want humans influencing these topics, they want people to read what the bots are saying without distraction.

They sent me a warning of being flagged and monitored because I upvoted a comment about Luigi. That’s how cooked reddit is now.

This is the exact arc of enshittification that Cory Doctorow described. Reddit used to be great up to a few years ago, but it’s clear that the board is in full-on vampire mode, and they’re going to bleed it dry until it’s time to parachute.
