I wish we could see up/downvotes like in the past. I think reddit may be artificially boosting some posts into the front page. You can see in the screenshot it has very little upvotes (or older) compared to the other top 4 posts.

I have no evidence other than noticing right after the election, /r/conservative seems to be hitting the front page every day. But I remember before the election, it only hit the front page once in a blue moon or so. Is this just me? Am I the only one noticing this?

    I don’t notice anything on Reddit because I never go there anymore. I swear some of y’all treating Reddit like that ex you never shut up about and keep stalking every five minutes to check if their life turned out better than yours.

    Edit: My bad guys. Didn’t pay attention to what community this post was in.

      Not saying your wrong lol. But this is the /c/reddit community. We are not going to go and post on reddit about this (well not anymore). And my local community is not going to remove themselves on reddit unless something pretty horrific happens. I like fediverse more (so im supporting that).

      Does it also count if you don’t stalk your ex yourself but do stalk a community dedicated to stalking that exact same ex?

      I like to hear the shit that goes down there (and other sites) for multiple reasons.

      • so i can discuss these ongoing enshitification with friends i know still frequent it and are not on the fediverse.

      • to archive/understand/study the dynamics of enshitificication/collapse/fascist momentum so i may learn how to defend against those and if successful educate others.

      • to deliver dopamine to my brain by feeding the inbuild superiority complex within my human mind. Most of us enjoy seeing our choices redeemed. Shallow and primitive yes but so is arguable 90% of social media.
