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?
What I’m noticing is the increase in shadow banning (or at least I assume that’s what’s happening); you see a post with x number of comments, and open it up and only one or two are visible. Particularly if it’s a post that might be even slightly controversial.
