-
. (@___6ch3ck) reported@therealkijib @TheWapplehouse The flu can cause long term respiratory issues. See this is why no one takes you retards seriously, you act like this is only a covid thing. It’s not. Focus on your day job of scouring Reddit.

Neaten Me (@NeatenM55619) reported@aleabitoreddit I keep shouting that Reddit is woketard dumpster with both mods and audience being brain dead. Yet you're asking silly questions aka why its share price is crashing down. Remarkable ignorance...
-
Perry E. Metzger (@perrymetzger) reported@jimstewartson @LibertyBTC Which Reddit post contained the solution to that Erdős problem? Mathematicians had struggled to solve it for decades. Where did the computer look up the answer? Which is the parrot, the thing that can do original mathematics research, or the thing that cannot change its mind no matter what the evidence says?

🌷 (@flawedcrystals) reportedA few days ago I fell down a rabbit hole on reddit and found out he works in real estate now, married Janet Mock, and took her last name ctfu I was so gagged
-
Marvinマービン (@marvinnn_m) reported@gallowshumours @heavyrightfoot @ForzaHorizon Well.. I know.. but the issue isn't "to old hardware" it's the same issue across every hardware if I see the Reddit posts it doesn't matter.. WHAT helped seems to reduce shaders to the minimum.. crashing got way less for many with that. It's just not related that it's a 1080 Ti..

wetty (@wettymeister) reported@reddit_lies imagine if reddit shut down tomorrow. these people would loose their minds

tara_ (@TechByTaraa) reportedInstagram uses Python. Spotify uses Python. Dropbox uses Python. Reddit uses Python. Netflix uses Python. Pinterest uses Python. Quora uses Python. OpenAI uses Python. productivity never went out of fashion. still think Python is too slow? 👀
-
NouveaTocqueville (@NouveaT53568) reported@reddit_lies I like how all their tags are mentally ill. Palestine and Yugoslavia are terrible governments. Truly the lowest intelligence and most indoctrinated on reddit.

Cory Young SEO + Marketing 🚀 (@cyoungmarketing) reported@ichbinGisele It will have trained itself on all that stuff by then, but what we'll get is inaccurate old versions of the truth, lol. The AI spam issue has already made sites like Reddit unbearable.

Thaabit Arnub (@ThaabitTheArnub) reported@IndieGameJoe Reddit is terrible these days. I can’t post **** on it.

sea (@concrettewall) reportedi think i need to hack this reddit and put it down

Negative Alpha Capital (@NegativeC16495) reported@wallstengine If Forum offers Corn then Reddit is in trouble
-
Muhammad Shaiz (@MShaiz9) reportedHave you ever felt like your product isn’t failing… it’s just invisible? I see founders spending months polishing features nobody even notices. Meanwhile their ideal users are publicly complaining about the exact problem on Reddit + X. The crazy part? Some builders barely post content… yet still get customers consistently. Are conversations becoming the new distribution channel for SaaS founders? Or are most of us still building in silence?
-
Sean G (@SeanG882) reported@denohawari This is exactly why many people say Reddit is full of AI and no longer valuable, while I still think it’s a goldmine. You can find a lot of real user problems there.
-
Mayor Perk (@MayorPerk) reported@weebineer @monsterhunter45 Put the anime down for a second and google Graham Platner Reddit comments. There’s plenty more from where the Totenkopf tattoo came from.
-
Peter (@alexva2920) reported@ryangrim Ryan, most of this week’s stuff is just really blatantly fragmented, out of context smears from Reddit posts. They’re trying to bait him into responding “I don’t care if it’s true, I just want to make him deny it.” He just needs to not go down these rabbit holes.

Prajwal Tomar (@PrajwalTomar_) reportedBRO this is CRAZY. Karpathy's 4 rules for Claude Code just got turned into a full CLAUDE .md template on Reddit. A developer applied it across a real codebase and watched coding accuracy jump from 65% to 94%. The full template: → No filler openers ("Great question!", "Of course!") → Match response length to task complexity → Show 2-3 approaches before any significant task → Flag uncertainty. Never fill gaps with plausible info. → Only modify files related to the current task. No refactoring. → Stop and describe before rewriting existing content → Stop and ask before deleting files or overwriting code → Deploys, pushes, db drops need fresh confirmation every time → Maintain a MEMORY .md logging every decision and what was rejected → Maintain an ERRORS .md so Claude stops repeating failed approaches CLAUDE .md is not a documentation file. It's the difference between Claude Code that ships and Claude Code that breaks. Want my full Claude Code setup written up? Drop a comment below.

Montoya (@montoya_test) reported@CardilloSamuel This is a known and potentially serious problem with LLMs going forward that can lead to model collapse. Anything scraped off the internet before 2024ish I would consider largely human generated content. Here in 2026, how much of reddit or X is agentic slop? I do not have the stats, but what ever it is, it's about to be 100x worse by this time next year. The calculator example is correct, but there are trade offs. We may forget mental math, but what once took an entire building full of math nerds now requires one excel spreadsheet. On your phone. Are we better off as a species? Yes. I saw a news piece just yesterday about how this incoming class of college students are terrible at creative writing. They have zero patience, do not read and have not bothered to write any sort of essay or research paper through their high school years because of AI. Its a serious problem that teachers need to adapt too. More in-class work, less homework that can be done by AI. Technology has moved fast and we have not adapted yet. I can tell you that the current batch of middle and high school teachers are aware and are taking steps to adjust, so maybe the gen-Alpha kids will be better off.

Damsel (@Damselzzrs) reported@abierkhatib That sub is a Zionist sub. Everyone should report every post on that sub so that Reddit shuts it down
-
The Equalizer (@TheEqualizerIn) reported@aravind Reddit is a cesspool. It needs to be banned like Tiktok. Make some excuse or create some artificial issue then ban it.
-
Sam⁷ ❀ Arirang AOTY (@AspenAsterx) reported@littletweety89 REAL. Ditched Spotify, paid for it and I still get stupid ads for some odd reason. (app was updated and saw reddit thread it was a real issue). AM has less filtering rates.
-
Deckard 💻 (@deckard_the_dev) reported@adversarialmnds Honestly Karakeep's solid, I'm not knocking it But here's the gap: Karakeep only knows about stuff you manually save to it. Every X bookmark, TikTok save, Reddit save you've ever made is invisible unless you go back and re-save them by hand Stashr fills that exact gap. it listens to the native save buttons across X, Reddit, TikTok, IG, etc... On day one it backfills everything you've ever saved on those platforms (years of stuff Karakeep can't see) Plus it ships an MCP server, so Claude/Cursor/ChatGPT can search your library directly. No API glue, no manual indexing You could honestly run both. but I'd bet 90% of your saves are already happening inside those apps anyway

Matt Williams (@mattsmooth24) reportedNow thinking about it if that Reddit post of ea college football mobile was taken down due to a copyright strike then it has to be 100% real

cyberprince (@cyberprince_rwo) reportedI want to be bullish $SNAP but how does the company become a money printing machine? The path for Snapchat becoming a truly massive, dominant company again is much narrower than something like Roblox or even Reddit… Snap’s biggest problem is that it never fully escaped being “a feature ecosystem” rather than foundational infrastructure. $META owns the social graph. $GOOG owns search/discovery. $AAPL owns the device/platform. TikTok owns algorithmic entertainment. $RBLX is building a persistent digital economy/world. $RDDT owns intent-heavy human discussion indexed into the internet itself. Snap sits awkwardly between messaging, social media, camera software, and AR. And the continuous shareholder value destruction by Evan and team with ridiculous SBCs has to be one of the biggest abuses of power in markets ever.

Zavoc (@ZavocOfficial) reported@ZoeyStarwind @gcindisguise I don't expect you to do anything, but Im just unsure if my problem is on my end, or its the game, and I don't know what to do :/ Barely any interacts with my reddit posts about it aswell, I don't think a lot of people has the issues I have :(

Noir 🐦⬛ (@The14thNoir_) reported@EverSpectre Nah it just has a fixed slow schedule of 1 volume an year Also I don't know about twt but people do talk about it on reddit regularly
-
Nom DeGuerre (@accusedarsonist) reportedI'm not mad that they fired Americans and kept the foreigners. I’m mad that they didn't fire everyone and close down. And also that reddit exists to blog the whole thing.

Buckey City (@BuckeyeCity10) reported@reddit_lies If you post this in Reddit they would defend him like family and down votes this to oblivion, the reason they live in that hell community

Mitch Armour (@MitchMayhemX) reported@jetneptune_ The fishtank forum on reddit was nothing compared to the degenerate hell hole that is that fishtank discord server that bezo runs. I got banned from it just for **** talking bezo during season 5, but he let's actual p@do's and domestic abussers stay in there no problem. Lol.
