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?
Yeah I get the frustration, moderation on big platforms can definitely feel inconsistent sometimes.
I think the part I relate to more is just missing those smaller, more normal community discussions, especially niche stuff like sports where it’s just people chatting and sharing takes.
Yeah agreed!
