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.

**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.

Hard to say, from what i know they use a shit load of bots to cover up user loss.
Didnt someone on here say they sold a 10+ year account with a crap ton of karma for like 1400$?
Damn, no one made me that offer and my account is 13 years old.
Deeply skeptical. Mine is 15 years old with a few hundred k karma and it isn’t worth shit.
Yeah mine is similar and I looked up its value and it wasn’t worth the effort of selling it.
We should all sell our accounts. Not like I’m using it anymore lol
I wouldn't tho given theres a chance it will be exploited but then again I didn't have such account so mine doesn't have a lot of weight behind
People sell accounts but that’s a lie or a scam. No one offers that much. I got offered $200 for a 12 year old (at the time) account with 150k karma and mod of a small but not tiny sub.
Where does one see such things offered for sale?
I too would like to contribute to Reddit’s bot overthrow by selling my 12 yr old account to the highest bidder. PM me your $$s.
Where’d you hear/see this?
There was a shit ton of gpt model bots even when I was using it and they weren't interested in doing anything about it so safe to say it's only getting worse
Hey, still really interested in seeing the source for this information. I’m not saying it’s not possible, but it’s a pretty huge claim, and I don’t want to repeat it without knowing the (or simply “a”) source.
They did it to r/de, no reason to believe they have stopped. https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/13p889x/reddit_admins_were_just_caught_using_bots_or_fake/
I wonder if this could be grounds for a fraud case in relation to their upcoming IPO. You can't fabricate metrics directly informing the value of a security I think.
Dang that’s bad.
Source, go to reddit and read the comments of a top post of the day in a default sub.
About half the comments are copy paste or literally generated by a chatbot. I know people there behave like NPCs but thats a new low. I think The Verge made a Article about it as well.
I can't go with "I know when I see it" dude it needs to be verified lol I can't find the verge article. Again I want to emphasize I'm not saying it isn't true, it sounds like something reddit would do absolutely, but you can't just drop bombs like that without one source. Help me out here lol
