Reddit Looks To Facilitate More Activity With New Posting Updates
how can they encourage acitvity that is not from propaganda bots, when they make it very hard for new users to comment, and will ban or remove comments on the sligthest trigger of thier filters.
I always found the low karma threshold that stops you from posting or commenting in some groups absurd.
I used to create new accounts and pick up some karma on those freekarma4you subs and similar, where people upvote eachother just for karma.
Last time I did this, recently, the account (which was brand new) was shadow banned in multiple different subs that I used to participate, without having had any prior activity on those subs at all.
I can only imagine there is some kind of auto filter shadow banning accounts which post on these karma subs that mods or admins are using now. So it will be even harder for newer accounts to participate, I honestly don't know how I'd have managed to get karma to comment on any sub any other way.
oh yea they shadowban karma farm accounts now, due to them being used as way of being sold to another user who wants to use hundreds of accounts to "add links to thier business, or OF acct". this is from what ive found out on another site(about selling/buying reddit accts with karma). they should get rid of the karma feature.
did you know Reddit also has CQS (community quality score) its a hidden metric reddit uses to determine "trustworthyness, and bottiness of an account. things like spammy behaviour, voting pattern, commenting,,,etc.
🤣 good luck reddit. I'm not coming back!
Reddit is currently feeding fedi new users...
Can't wait for march MAU numbers
Read the article and it seems very complicated to use reddit. Also I was recently told that 80% of their users are via cell phone vs. PC. I wonder if Lemmy's numbers are similar regarding users and cell phone
Last PC I bought was a laptop for school in 2020. Now that I graduated, it is a media server. There are only a few things online I can’t do mobile. There was almost nothing I couldn’t do when I had android.
I use a PC for work but am not going to do personal stuff on it.
Interesting how this is the new normal. I still much prefer a desktop computer.
I am so used to typing in the traditional way and never could get the hang of the 2 finger thing on a phone or Ipad.
