Random Rant: I feel like reddit died after they banned all the "unmoderated" communities. All the posts became sanitized. Now reddit is adding AI and streaks and NFTs to keep people on a platform that has no more content.

The worst part is the Contributor Quality Score, which is the subjective version of karma.

If you're not a bot, then you have to spend a lot of real time producing acceptable content to get to do anything YOU want to do. You literally have to grind Reddit to be able to post in some subs, even if your account is older than the hills and has positive karma.

Hate that shit, Reddit’s decline started when individual users started to become sanctioned superusers and did away with the veil of equal-ish participation.

Generally all things done there to scale your feed based on recent activity suck too.

It’s infuriating how much time and energy is extracted from everyone chasing hidden and arbitrary metrics that serve some opaque corporate interest.

Thank you for including a link; this sounds like a fucking joke.

First time I'm hearing of the CQS. Wow, just wow. Dystopian shit.

New account experience on Reddit in 2025:

Create an account;
Post something on a subreddit that has AutoMod configured to instantly remove posts/comments from new accounts, accounts with low karma or accounts with low CQS;
Get a site-wide shadowban because your first contribution was removed;
If you're unaware of shadowbans, keep using the site, leaving comments, thinking nobody replies to you because you're not that interesting;
If you're aware of them, keep trying to appeal with zero effect.

Fuck Steve Huffman and fuck his enshittified site.
