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.

    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.

      I recently started what’s probably my 15th account for a single topic. Same exact thing happened to me.
