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?

    Their indiscriminate AI ban hammer with no real appeal system is probably a large part of it as well. They have likely IP banned a large portion of the real humans that previously used the site.

    I used it for over 11 years and was a top contributor or whatever before randomly getting axed for no reason

      i noticed it alot on the shadowban sub, people are still get shadowban for no reason, additionally they sometimes do large purges at once. Their nov-april purges was pretty much nonstop, which was unprecedented, they probably realized they got rid of too many actual users, and is trying to hide the numbers right now. Theres also significant amount bot/ai posting reposting old threads or new propaganda
