Sooo Reddit is doing this to get rid of bots… except the only users they have left are bots… weird.

spammer bots, and propaganda bots, utilizing AI posting or using hundreds of account at once by 1 entity.
Because israel primaralily, but now expanded to protect all power players, because fuck you (me especially,) that’s why.

Their automated filters seem to be designed to ban people and leave bots. 🤭

That feeling when you get banned from a community cause you typed in “Im a Black man” and the auto mod banned you for the world “Black”…

They own those bots though most likely.
Just like the same endless crap keeps showing up on my meta feeds from bot accounts because it gains traction
Replying to @Brimstone@lemmy.ml
they also allow propaganda bots from russia, israel , and palantir to run free to astroturf comments.
