When i stumble over reddit these days and start reading a comment thread, i almost always encounter this kind of comments, mostly in the most interesting part of the thread:

hard-to-find subtract rhythm fly shelter crush historical ancient cough smell

This post was mass deleted and anonymized with Redact

It’s fucking annoying and frustrating.

This destroys the thing that made Reddit good. Coherent discussions that went somewhere, good or bad.

So, it really is working.

I know that this is the intended effect of erasing reddit contributions made in the past.

Make it so, that they shouldn’t be able to sell Reddit’s content anymore, because the solutions to problems or the nail biting stories within comment threads are mostly broken and/or incomplete.

Given how Reddit betrayed their user base, this is the way - imo

    Remember forums? They were amazing sources of information. They’re falling offline, because Reddit and discord. Now reddit and discord are enshittifying. I hope that redacting posts like that helps bring visibility to normal people, but I fear it’s not. Especially because ai scraped it already.

      I didn’t even try to login tbh. I still have my account, but also deleted my stuff.

      I ain’t going to comment on Reddit anymore, so no need to login. .

        I had a good, long run on Reddit. It helped me get away and stay away from other platforms. Now I’m hanging out here. I hope it lasts!
