News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I've seen at least 2 post today where a front page post has many normal looking comments, but their username was [deleted] Doesn't seem normal, any theories on whats going on?

Is my browser bugged?

Typically means they deleted their account or are banned right?

Yea, that typically doesn't happen to entire comment sections.

Seems like reddit being reddit again, website glitches and all.

That's why Lemmy is still my favorite platform.

It does when the topic of discussion has hella users breaking the rules or saying shit a mod doesn't like.

I've found that on every Reddit post I saw this evening ( I was looking for some advice ). Nested comments loaded with "load more" seem fine, and hovering over "deleted" seems to bring up the user if they weren't actually deleted so I assume it's just some weird glitch or maybe related to something Reddit is trying to implement?

Yeah idk. I totally noticed this a lot the past two years. I thought mods were just being jerks as usual

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Entire comment sections are just bots, for the most part, if reddit is actually identifying bots and non humans then it would be normal to see wasteland threads.

The Internet is in a sad state.

Weird thing is like I browsed 5 threads and its all just [deleted], seemed like a site-wide system crash lol

I think reddit might actually powered by a hamster running on a wheel, and the hamster is just dead from exhaustion.

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's not really how that works...

Deleted comments show is deleted because they were deleted

User names say: [Deleted]

But contents of the comments were still there...

anyways, it was just a glitch at the time, the problem no longer exists, reddit has always been buggy

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

Bots will sometimes recycle old comments, so even if they're normal sounding they might not be authentic. And with LLMs now you might not be able to tell the difference. Could be Reddit being bullshit or could be them correctly identifying inauthentic behavior with some behind the scenes searching and metrics.

similar things happening for me as well, Android, Firefox beta.

I noticed this too, happens if you are not using old.reddit.com and are not logged in.
