What happened to Reddit?

r/

I hopped on for the first time in just over a month and it feels like something big happened that I’m not privy too. It feels really, really enraged. Like, to the point where every comment feels like it was written by someone who’s literally seething, no matter the subject.

    It might be some combination of (a) algorithmic shenanigans, (b) bots on parade, and (c) users adopting bot behavior as the norm.

    You took a month off and are no longer used to seeing the way people talk to each other on here. The world is tense right now and having anonymity on an internet forum brings out weird things in people.

    The only real difference is that the AI moderation seems to be taking over in the last few months and it’s banning or removing comments based on keywords. We’re probably gonna have to start censoring like people do on other social media platforms.
