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?
Reddit is full on captured by special interest. I’ve had a few accounts over there flat out get banned for made-up reasons, I’ve had benign comments get shadow banned, and if you go to places like /worldnews and go against the agenda of the moderation team you immediately get clipped.
Fuck reddit. It’s dead.
I wish there were more active sports groups here. I do miss talking about baseball and stuff.
maybe?

Oh interesting. How do you get onto that instance? Do you need to make another account for that?

You rule!!!
Just tap on the link and you should be in. It’s not asking me for a login… (but I’ve only been doing this a couple weeks, too. 😁)
Weird in the upper corner it’s showing me that I need to login!
🤔
It’s cool I’ll figure it out!
Isn’t there a dedicated instance?
Honestly Idk! I’m new to this site so I’m still figuring it out.
There definitely WAS one
I may have muted it or something. My ALL feed was full of baseball scores
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!
