aster ⭑.ᐟ | qsmp obsessed (@dawajaster) reported@Hitzuki_ oh shucks, im terrible when it comes to explaining polish but we use -ego for male form of adjectives so as nowy (new) -> nowego, and here my knowledge ends- so I recommend to read some more (i saw good explanation on reddit)
-
EcstaticShadow (@ShadowEcstatic) reported@imbratorX Yeah again thats how reddit mods of larger subreddit act. Been that way since inception of reddit. Ive had my own issues with some of their mods over the years. I simply dont venture there unless I have to these days. They got issues. And not all of them but a fair amount do

amoral mistake (@aMoral_Mistake) reportedYou know what, the boymoder mousura is actually endearing, despite being cringe. The only issue is that she is both reddit AND tttt which is the most unbelievable thing about her.
-
Lightning_Shade (@LightningShade0) reportedThis claims the button poll was posted on April 2023 on Reddit. lisatomic5 posted it in August 2023, so it's *not* the origin. Dang. Idea of "sawtooth problem" is interesting, and props on catching the threshold being the worst, though I'm a bit lost with the parameters later.

MARLIN ‼️ (@chocymarmar) reported@JoeHallenbeck17 @UpdatingOnRome Reddit down vote

Shahzaib Shakeel (@shyzziii) reportedDay 6 of 90 - road to $1k MRR - posted my direction idea on IH and reddit to get it torn apart - feedback was consistent, validate before building - built a mockup so people had something to react to - 0 new signups, MRR still $9 a week of talking instead of building feels slow. but i'd rather find the holes now than 6 weeks in.

MISTER BUIZEL #GOATmovie🐈⬛🖤 (@ALCATRAZIANMAN) reportedI'm officially deactivating my X account I can no longer live with the fact that the people here are terrible beings I'm sorry that this happened, but you will no longer hear from me You can visit me on my Reddit, Discord, YouTube, or Fur Affinity account Ihateithere

Fatalist (@FatalistB) reportedSo a man posted on reddit that his wife is having an with his neighbor. People advised him to leave her, she was terrible to him and a horrible person to be around the kids The man filed for a divorce and in a shocking turn of events, the woman killed their children so he won't have custody of them.

Kim L KY (@str8blues) reported@MrWhiplash_ Grok: Is any of this true? No, none of this is true. It's a baseless viral hoax/misinformation claim spreading on social media (Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, etc.) without any supporting evidence. Key facts:No tape exists: There are zero credible reports, leaks, videos, or official statements of Ilhan Omar or Mark Kelly being recorded with Iranians discussing war plans, jet routes, or anything similar. Searches across news outlets turn up only repetitions of the same unverified social media posts. The jet incidents were real but unrelated: In early April 2026, during US/Israel-Iran conflict, Iran shot down a US F-15E Strike Eagle (one crew rescued, one missing initially) and damaged another aircraft (e.g., an A-10). These were publicly reported by major outlets like CNN, NYT, PBS, NBC, and The Guardian.

Lee Mazzone (@LeeMazzone87) reported@Ongi_app @yusukelp Yes I have the same problem with Reddit I now can only post every 555 seconds...🤦🤦..think I blew it I was doing ok for a while, and then I think I dropped too many links...

Lee Gothe - Owner of Unscripted Violence Media - (@WrasslinTalkSTG) reported@MHTruthUltra And what are your "sources" for this hypothesis, Slow Rogen??? Huh? Reddit?

Daelewd 🔞 (@Daelewd) reported@ChristianYoungA Was doing this on some reddit posts. Got down voted lol.

Dragomer (@dragomer69) reported@ChaosCharza Except the Emperor was a reddit atheist and a globalist who burned down churches.

Newslit News (@newslit) reportedGoogle is testing a new policy that would give new Gmail accounts only 5GB of free storage — down from 15GB — unless users add a verified phone number to unlock the full amount. No official announcement has been made and it may be an A/B test. But users on Reddit are already reacting: if a phone number is now the price of full email storage, Google just made privacy a premium feature.

Olami Lekan (@RealOlamius) reported@hakimuddinkika @ardent__dev Your branding is honestly better than a lot of projects I see. The product is likely not the problem. The thing is, the right communities haven’t gotten there yet.” “Reddit is good for that because people trust recommendations more than traditional promotion.”

Michael Wiley 🇺🇸 (@Fiat_Lux00) reported@minchoi Was worried about this for the platform. Hoping that not interested was more for curating one’s own feed. It’s one of the problems on Reddit. You have an angry mob drowning out valid minority opinions. Even clicking on profiles to downvote every post from a user. Like with business reviews. Often posters are disgruntled or have an agenda. People with positive experiences just on with their day. So there’s this inherent negativity bias to feedback.
-
Traumatized Ghoul (@GhoulStuffs) reportedI am convinced that the only way to circumvent bans is to have your own website. If your main traffic goes there, then even if your IG, Reddit, or other socials go down. Then, at least your audience stays connected via your site and newsletter. If you are IP-banned and fingerprinted by network security, you can just buy a phone, get new WiFi, and return to other social medias later. So yes, for personal branding, you need a website. A good hosting provider that's offshore, not prone to DMCA takedown notices, and provides access to C-panel is a nice bet. If you have any good budget recommendations, DM me.

sweden of edtwt (@_darkforestcake) reported@thhornss They could get taken down if they're spread so openly, like in a comment section. Though, places like Reddit have interesting ways where they hide the site names in their responses. It's pretty easy to find posts about pirating sites there.

adophilus (@adophilus) reportedOne root address resolves ANY domain on earth. But DNS is fragile. In 2016, a DDoS attack on Dyn took down Twitter, Netflix, Reddit. Their servers were fine. Nobody could find their IP addresses.

Smash 4 La-Croix Olimar (@liampbjray) reported@ReelOddball @ayeejuju Yeah, the solution to this problem is "apologize" and if u need reddit to tell you that, this issue runs a lot deeper 😭
-
CHANEL № 1 (@PhuckYoRhymes) reported@MarvelRivals after this new update/season launch my console continuously freezes while loading up select screen, or player selection. Its done it every game or every other game since I updated it. There is also others on Reddit expressing the same issue. Plz fix this.
-
EcstaticShadow (@ShadowEcstatic) reported@imbratorX Not surprised. Reddit is a cesspool far worse than discord. The mods there typically are terrible. If they dont agree with you, you either get banned or they harass you by other means. Mainly why I dont go there often
-
Valerie Waters (@ValerianWaters) reported$8K from Reddit in 2025. No ads, no cold DMs, no spam. Find people with problems you solve, give value. Hunting threads took forever, so I built a bot that tracks subs, ranks leads, writes replies. Want access? Comment below.

Corey Nathaniel (@voidwashere06) reported@ayeejuju yes, instead of talking to and trying to resolve the issue with her husband, she posts on reddit....and he's the one with "no social life"....right. i've seen this post so many times and it pisses me off for so many reasons EVERY time

funnymice_pacman (@NG90981812) reported@reddit_lies I hear you guy on reddit. Shes prob got more problems thsn u think. We dont know what she was thinking or really felt but its not something to put up witj. A red flag is a red flag. Personally if a man i cared about surprised me w/ food i would appreciate

Adam Blyth (@blythy1989) reportedGutless **** who's whole persona can be boiled down to "Reddit Brain Personified" has such faith in his video... that he locks comments to subscribers only, and locks down his twitter to try and hide how badly he's getting ratio'd

Shivers (@thinkingshivers) reportedRead the book last week and finished the movie a few minutes ago. Roon's review of the movie is unfortunately spot on: marvelslop, I'm afraid! The book's prose is a bit Reddit, but underneath that is some great sci-fi. The movie's dialogue is insufferable quipcore and underneath that is blockbuster action shlock. Struggling to follow the plot? Don't worry, the bombastic music will tell you exactly how you're supposed to feel. Rocky may as well have been given a collar and named Rover, given he was already 95% of the way to being a cartoon dog. I'm being pretty harsh, but it's sad when you know what could have been. A lot of great ideas and scientific problem solving were kicked to the curb for scenes that weren't as original and actively make the movie and characters stupider. I could write a much longer and more negative review of the movie, but I don't want to spend any more time kicking the puppy everyone else seems to adore.

Kat (@katagious2) reported@CaseyReadReeder Blue collar is not the issue, the reddit dude is.

Skill issue? Maybe, I upgraded all the wrong things in my camera and didn’t have time to roll back my saves to redo it but hey reddit came to rescue (◞ ⸝⸝ ◟ )
