Not sure if it’s just me but Reddit has been feeling a bit weird lately.

Seeing more posts about bans, shadowbans, AI stuff popping up, and even some big threads don’t really feel as “normal” or casual as they used to.

Could just be overthinking it or spending too much time here tbh.

Been messing around with a small side project called Hideout that kind of came from that feeling — just trying to make something more low pressure and simple to use, nothing big.

Anyone else noticed this or nah?

The Hideout

    I really dislike those posts where OP pretends to be a genuine human and you get to the end only to see that it was a disguised advertisement

      Would you still feel that way if I told you it was Engineered for Connection!?

        😭 yeah that’s exactly the kind of thing I was not trying to sound like just a small project, nothing that deep.

      I get why it can come across that way , those kinds of posts are everywhere now.

      That wasn’t really my intention though. I just mentioned it because it came from the same feeling I was talking about, not to push anyone to use it.

      If it’s not your thing, that’s completely fine.

      Thx for the comment👍
