Reddit: User content belongs to us. You can’t scrape, collect, use, or have bots interact with it… unless you pay us.
Lemmy is the same in terms of ownership btw, as is pretty much every online platform. Anything you post is owned by the owner of the instance that it is on and that it federates to. You don’t own it.
I dare you to compare the largest possible instance vs Reddit as a whole.
I don’t think you understood my comment.
Also reddalso Reddit: since all users have left, most of our traffic now consists of posts from AI bots that we’re really really blocking!!
What, like Xitter did?
Unauthorized AI bots
100%. Reddit loves bots that they control, like the ones that go back and constantly re-post years old top rated, traffic driving content, complete with a replica of the entire comment section posted by hundreds/thousands of bots, because they can use it to do their bidding in pushing agendas and/or driving traffic/engagement.
Am I overreacting aita and all of those question answer subs are all bots.
step one: ban everyone who writes an emdash
I like em dashes. I learned the alt code for en and em dashes just so I could use them easily on a computer. There is a difference between a hypen and an en dash, and a double-hyphen is but a simulacrum of the em dash!
- Hyphen is just for double-barrelled words
- An en dash is useful – at least sometimes – for inserting side thoughts
- ah boy I sure hope an em dash doesn’t interrupt m—
But let’s be real, I type kinda formally, like an AI, sooo
I am not convinced. Sending you to the crypto mines where all AI belong. See you in ten thousand years.
Oh no, the mines will be so bad for my authentic supple human skin, and my favourite mammilian activity of breathing air
I love em dashes. Fuck AI.
I don’t believe that for 1 millisecond.
Spez won’t be able to stop himself from enshitifying reddit in any way he can to appease those VC pump&dump scammers he’s spent the last decade ruining reddit for.
No they wont. Just those who haven’t paid them first.
Fuck reddit, It’s a shithole.
Sometimes I have to return for various reasons. God. Some of them have absolutely bled over to the fediverse, but holy HELL are the people and the culture there messed up. I don’t know if it’s getting worse or I’m healing.
Personally I feel like I am healing. I haven’t signed into reddit since they bent the knee to musk. I have noticed that I have become less toxic. I still go off half cocked like an idiot but I have been more tactful about it. I hope to keep working on it because I honestly never noticed until I had been away from reddit for a few weeks.
I haven’t signed into reddit since they bent the knee to musk.
What did I miss here? Reddit hates musk…
Spez doesn’t
How did they bend the knee to musk is what I’m asking.
Started banning everyone who says mean things about Tesla and musk. Banned whole subreddits for him.
Edit: oh it’s fucking you, of course it fucking is. How much they paying you?
I always get ‘Blocked by Network security’ for trying to access Reddit from a VPN
Yeah they’ve blocked VPNs because they want to be able to know exactly who their users are. They don’t want anonymous anymore.
If only they accepted the reality of massive residential proxy networks…
A shitton of apps not only sell your data but also use your device as a tunnel.
It’s already happening, I see I opened accounts but none of my comment gets posted with accounts I don’t know why , this is with new accounts
sounds like you got shadowbanned, you can check your username, by not logging in and click your profile.
it usually says “cannot find profile” on a browser, which means shadowbanned.
That’s a shadowban
Same happened to me, all my old accounts which I had for years got banned for no reason and new accounts gets banned as soon as I comment.
Your IP address/device fingerprint has been blacklisted. They do daily (possibly a few times throughout the day) automated bans of any accounts that visit the site from IPs of users they have banned. Commenting automatically triggers an IP check so you’re banned instantly, but if you didn’t even comment your account would be banned by the end of the day.
I tested this after I wiped and deleted my accounts back when they made all the API changes. They undeleted my account, undeleted all of my posts, and then permanently banned my account. I then signed in to one of my alt accounts that has never commented to see if they had banned it, and they hadn’t - until a few hours later when it was permanently banned for “ban evasion”. I created a new account to see what would happen - same thing. I then turned on the built in VPN on a browser and set it to always be active when on reddits domain and made a new account, and that account to this day is still not banned.
The bots post better comments than most of their users.
Someone could create a forum for bots to discuss with each other. Call it Redbit. The bot could even steal questions from quora, reddit, Xitter, and every other forum, various AI bots can then reply to those questions with the best replies.
That was just /r/subredditsimulator
we should make an instance that’s just bots talking to each other
Like “closing the gate after the sheep already escaped”, but in reverse?
like: Closed the gate after the wolf got in?
Closing the gate after the wolves have got in eaten all the sheep, had a nice rest, and then left. And then about 30 years past.
Sure maybe small trees are now growing in the now ungrazed pasture, but I guess late is better than never.
*reddit will tag their own chatgpt bots to prevent them from being banned, and then through false positives will ban the last of the real users from the site.
Oh no! Anyway
what about their own Ai bots lmao?
