The only place I don't see frontpage news about what's happening with Reddit is on Reddit. (kbin.social)

I assume someone's deleting critical news articles there, or having bot armies downvote them. On Kbin and Lemmy and Squabbles, even on Google News, I see Reddit's woes front and center.

If you are just learning now that the admins manipulate the site in any way that they please you are late to the party. Reminds me of Spez editing users comments.

It's one thing to hear about this manipulation and another to experience it though. The moment reddit restored my comments multiple times I knew how fucked Reddit really was/is.

wait. They did that? I thought that my reddact 'forgot' to delete some comments...

edit :
Nevermind, I just went on reddit to check this. All my comments had been deleted except some that Reddact changed with nonsense stuff such as :

relieved growth consider smoggy oil disgusted crowd water mysterious tender -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/

Could be your old comments were in private subs that went public again.

@Delete I'm not just learning that admins manipulate Reddit, I've been there since the Digg exodus, I'm just making an observation about the form that manipulation is currently taking. I hope this is acceptable.
