Ewww. I hope my summary includes "Used to visit daily, but hasn't been back in two years ever since you fucked up third party apps."

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
Yeah, mine would be the same, with an added bit describing how by the time I left I had gotten trapped in an inescapable cycle of toxic posting and was actually very grateful for the mod wars giving me the lever I needed to get out and stay out. On that note I just wanted to also say how genuinely thankful I am to the multi named beast that is Fedia.io/Mbin/Kbin/Lemmy/PieFed for giving me a much nicer place to exchange thought noodles with others ๐
Would be interesting to see if it still gives a content summary for accounts with deleted histories.
I was planning the same when Apollo was shut down due to Reddit's API fees. In the end I stayed, now using Narwhal.
It's never too late to quit
Their AI is absolutely dogshit, especially at detecting jokes or shitposts. I caught a 3 day ban on my last account, "advocating violence" for joking about mosquitoes getting cancer on a shitpost sub.
I got a permaban for commenting on a news article about global warming effects in Texas,
"Dangit Dale, we live in Texas, and if it gets one degree hotter, I am kicking your ass!"
Quoting probably the most calming/relaxing show. Believe it or not, straight to jail
Which show is this so I can watch
King of the hill
The show about that American dad and his family.
I got perma banned for talking about my cat killing rabbits. Inciting violence, apparently.
You sick bastard!
Those mosquitoes just wanted to live another hour to taste that sweet 'globin
i suspect thier AI will just ban anyone indiscriminately, to cull the numbers on the site. thier detections are so sensitive, that new users, and old inactive accounts are usually flagged as spams and bots, the moment they comment on a sub.
Stop using Reddit.
Stop talking about Reddit.
Just let them fucking die and fade into obscurity like Digg.
Stop talking about Reddit.
Do you know what community you're in?
Sure weโre in /c/

My boomer parents know what reddit is.
It's not going to become obscure if people in their 70s know what it is now. Did they know a few years ago? No. But reddit keeps growing.
Their user traffic is up by over 10%, they're not going anywhere.
You mean bot traffic?

"User often posts strings of random words followed by a link to a service they used to turn their post history into gibberish"
The not too distant future:
"Facial recognition confirms this person posts opinions that are partially out of line with source code directives. Approve drone strike?"
this is how Israel chooses bombing targets in Gaza right now by spying on their Whatsapp metadata
The system is called Lavendar.
This is a must-read article about it
It's harrowing as hell, but a damn good article. It's clear to see why it's still amongst 972's most read articles despite being quite a few months old now.
A side note to anyone else who reads this comment, but 972 are great for coverage of the genocide โ they're based within Israel and have both Israeli and Palestinian writers. It leads to some of the best coverage that I've read on the conflict, because they have insight into Israeli politics that few others have. Many of their articles have both English and Hebrew versions, which shows that part of their goal is to challenge the apartheid and genocide from within Israel (a difficult thing to do, given how restrictive Israeli media is)

with the help of Palintir.
And Microsoft
'We Kill People Based on Metadata' - Michael Hayden (ex NSA Director)
arnt they already requiring ID from Uk users, its only matter of time they do what FB does, require FACIAL recognition + ID.
Other AI: approved.
We used to kill people with metadata.
Now we kill people with AI hallucinations made from studying metadata.
It's super sad how that site continues to degrade in quality.
Moderation has always been heavy-handed over there, now it'll be lazy and even more discriminatory. I didn't think that was possible, but here we are.
Web 3.0 should be known as "If you think this place is bad now, just wait till you see our new feature."

Gross
Unreliable user profiling is just what mods needโฆ yep.
Why donโt they sick it on finding bots instead? Oh, right, because that would cost them user numbers and make them look badโฆ
What about auto flagging posts that break sub rules for real mods to check? Ah, well, they canโt monetize those outputs can they?
I think reddit wants the site to devolve even further into groupthink and echo chambers.

nah the bots on reddit sustains the site, propaganda bots, they need russia, palintir to drive up engagement, from hate-posters.
Could one spam their user page with "wholesome content" to influence this summary?
I don't see why not? One could possible create a new sub and run a bot/script/pyautogui that uses another LLM to post "wholesome" garbage generated by it. No one to complain about your post since it is your sub.
Unless they have implemeted some way to weight posts in different subs (private sub worth less etc).
You could probably even put in custom instructions

Is this the one with the fascist CEO?
Do you know how little that narrows it down?
Mine probably says โturned every single comment of his into an ad for lemmy.world when 3rd party apps got screwed over, called a mod he didnโt like an [Quote] cocksucker who didnโt leave his room or change his underwear in two years [/Quote], logged off and never came back.โ
