Some accounts are deleting their posts after a few downvotes. It’s devastating on communities like c/asklemmy.
Lemmy doesn’t track an account’s karma like reddit. So, all downvotes will be isolated to your post or comment and won’t affect your account—unless you wrote something truly horrible.
Remember lemmy is a community effort. Deleting a post also removes all comments on it. So you are not only robbing the effort others put in, you are actively removing knowledge from the fediverse. Others won’t be able to find it through search and lemmy will seem lonelier than it already is.
Is there a new influx of Reddit users? If so, why?
They got rid of r/all and the bot karma farming went super critical.
It’s overrun by AI slop bots too.
This was the top post of r/aww the other day. Nobody noticed the AI slop. Or maybe all the comments were bots too.
I fucking hate the current- and probably next-gen slop. Modern cell phone cameras rely on computational photography, since the software based solution of guessing what’s there is much easier than expanding the physical optics and sensors.
But that also leads to artifacts that are very similar to AI-generated bullshit, because both are based on a computer making guesses based on a noisy input.
I hate that I can’t tell the difference between a cell phone’s bad guess and a data center’s really good guess.
maybe that will make polaroids a thing again, since it relied on exposure i would image it would be more difficult to fake
The title is such nonsensical slop in itself. Wtf about hanging out in a litter box would make a cat “king”?
execute healthy bowel movements, king
A cat taking a piss is the last thing I would upload to the awww sub, and I actually did follow that one on half of my accounts there.
But what are the other tells now, I take it the pattern is different on the floor in the circled part? I couldn’t even tell.
The last pic obviously the electrical outlet looks wrong but idk,
The cat in the last pic doesn’t look like the same cat either, it’s tail is fluffy, and it looks older, than the pissing cat?
These types of outlets do exist(old/rarely used) but it’s mounted sideways. However it doesn’t seem to have any grounding going on. Afaik a circular one should have grounding.
The last pic OP posted as a more recent photo, so the age isn’t a tell.
Look at the focus shift on the cat’s body in the last pic. The center of the body is out of focus for no reason. It’s because LLMs don’t have spatial sense. It doesn’t “know” how to maintain realistic camera focus.
Wait seriously?
They just removed best and hot from the app, now its a slop feed of low vote shit.
Reddit Is Fun still able to access All and Hot as of 6-17-26 and looking great as ever, but just looking at the titles of the posts make my eyes want to roll into the back of my head. It’s all that ‘hot take’ language from tik Tom or whatever. Not sure how to describe it better.
I mean, that isn’t true. r/All is still available even with the shit app. It just takes 5 seconds of inconvenience now.
I’m not sure but maybe it’s because reddit is aggressively banning or shadow banning accounts.
Every week spez does something to mess it up. It’s hard to keep track.
That’s why I’m here. No clue what I even did wrong. Wild guess is that it was from editing a post that contained a pastebin link to code I was asking a question about. But whatever the reason, this place is actually kinda nice. I did manage to revive a throwaway Reddit account I once made, so I guess I could go back, but haven’t really felt the need.
They know it’s you still, if you’ve been permabanned especially.
Even if no ip or browser fingerprints or any of that rot follows you from your old account, the way you talk, your phrases, would id you.
ai burning down the data center trying to keep up with my bpd
Probably banned you for not being a bot.
They are banning people for upvoting comments they don’t like. Did you recently upvote anything pro-labor or Luigi related?
I’ve noticed that too. I have a lurker account but I’ve been largely out of touch with Reddit since 2014 or so.
I’ve been off Reddit for awhile; when I looked over the past week it seems much deader.
Posts are getting much less engagement there than they were for the past few years, imo. Take my opinion with a grain of salt though cause that’s just for the most front page communities I happened to visit.

Hello, Mr. Doctorow. Good day!
