Bots on Reddit would be fine if they were opt-in by subreddit and/or summoned by user commands.

And maybe if two or three of them were elevated to core functionality. The one that just direct-links imgur albums containing a single image should just be a thing that happens in-stream. Similarly, the one that just reminds people of a thread a few days later should just be a button on each post.

Naturally, though, that would require pulling development labor off of slow and lovely aesthetic redesigns or staffing an administration that passes even the threshold of quasi-sentience required to ban literal neo-nazis and edge-case child pornographers, so gently caress you it's not happening.

I'm surprised no one has posted about the r/bpt meltdown that is going on. For april fools r/bpt decided to make the sub private and made it so that you have verify you are a black person to get in. They saw how angry it's making folks so they're keeping the rule.

ahahaha this is glorious

I like how bpt says that this social experiment made people talk about racism and discrimination as it now affected those who usually discriminate themselves, even though it kinda looked like it didn't and those who got mad just got a lot more racist while spamming the most racist jokes they found on /r/unpopularopinion.

Dippin Dots are like what if they made ice cream except with none of the wonderful texture, bland flavors, and a vehicle that makes it less satisfying to eat. It's a bad gimmick to sell more pointless poo poo to kids at baseball games and zoos.

Two weeks ago, an old video resurfaced of Cardi B admitting to drugging and robbing men during her stripping days. I read the article and moved on with my life. But since then, I swear I've seen anti-Cardi B memes anytime I visit reddit and it's. just. so. loving. pathetic. because it's so transparent that they're only angry just because this swarthy woman got one over on some unfortunate upright gentlemen who were just trying to get a nut off.

Some redditors have previously put it out there that they think strippers and prostitutes use their sexuality to "exploit" men and make money off them, which proves women have an unfair advantage in society, so this event must be pushing their buttons extra hard

Can you imagine the uproar if a male rapper admitted to robbing people and doing crimes? Clearly there's a double standard at work here.

How is that a double standard? Men are usually the ones doing that, they're more criminal by nature. It's expected.

The weird thing isn't that people are mad at a criminal, the thing is that people are mad at a female criminal
whereas male criminals are an accepted thing (not to mention that she used her :females: sexuality in the process, how dare she)

The men were criminals as well, since they were soliciting. Which I guess they see as the "lesser" of the two crimes, but you know most of the people angry like that over it are probably the same ones who will say it doesn't matter if a black man is killed by cops if they'd ever committed any crime, at all, in their lives.

Also, Cardi B herself pointed out the double standard of male rappers getting to talk about their past crimes and violence without getting the same reaction, as opposed to the reaction to her admission of a criminal past. Also, all the comparisons to R. Kelly and Bill Cosby are pretty loving gross. Not saying drugging and robbing a john is a good thing, but it's no way on the same level as drugging and raping women, or kidnapping and raping children while making child porn of it.

Yeah the bot obsession on reddit is so dumb. A while back they banned a bot that would convert the post into one of those emoji memes if you explicitly called the bot. The bot that shows up when someone misspells a word continues to operate however.

I saw one that would quote any post with the word 'Fortnite' in it and in a genius twist, would replace the word 'Fortnite' with 'cancer'. Fortnite bad, DLC bad, EA bad, Epic bad.
