Reddit seems oddly quiet these last few days. Its kinda eerie. Posts that would normally generate a ton of comments just have 2 or 3 comments. It feels a bit like a calm before the storm.

Anyone know whats up?

    If I were to guess their utilization of AI to deal out bans has come back to bite them in the ass. Anything that remotely suggest protesting for example will result in an automatic ban. Anything that could potentially go against the grain of ad revenue will result in a ban. Moderators fearing for their “job” are also way more heavy handed and they were previously.

    Thus they’re gradually killing off their userbase and instead what you’ll find are bots and agenda pushing accounts in their place.
