Maitrey (@Maitreyadapala) reportedA friend of mine built his own bot with claude and trained it all the best flirts he could find on reddit and some articles. Now whenever a girl replies he just drops a screenshot into it and it answers in his tone. The talking stage is where most daters stop being themselves and it was true long before this post. That's why we at @amata_app skip the chat and put people straight on a blind date. No texting stage to fake. You meet the person first and get to know them in real life. Not saying we solve the problem entirely, but we're trying to give people the best shot at being real.

riorson 🕵🏻♀️ (@offcampustaffer) reportedHonestly, these people are just full of hatred at this point and want to hate for the sake of hating. They wanted me to leave Twitter. I left. I was not planning on coming back, and I am still not back, yet somehow they are STILL talking about me, keeping me relevant, and now going after Ross because she shared something I sent her. So since apparently this needs to be explained for those lacking reading comprehension skills, I never said I got this information from a primary source. I saw the Reddit post, screenshotted it, and sent it to Ross because I didn't know if people here on Twitter were aware of it. The information being discussed was shared on the August 6 DeuxMoi podcast, which you can literally hear here. DeuxMoi explains where she got the information from herself. The post Ross shared explicitly said the information was from DeuxMoi. I genuinely do not understand how Ross sharing that somehow became drama or an issue. She shared exactly what I sent her and made the source clear. And, I did not "give Ross permission" to share publicly available information. She does not need my permission to do that. What Ross meant was that I was okay with her publicly mentioning that she had been talking to me. Obviously, if someone is going to say publicly that they're in contact with me, I have to be comfortable with them sharing that. That's literally it !! I don't know why people turned this into something bigger than it was, but I will not have people going after someone else in my name over something this stupid. People are truly weirdly obsessed with me and it’s ******* creepy and uncomfortable.

South Asian Centre for Strategic Studies (SACSS) (@DelhiSacss) reported@Ind_Whitepill Reddit is simply an eco-chamber. Some of our (anonymous) team members also observed similar issues pertaining to the bias. Unless and until legal scrutinies are met and an alternate platform is created, this will continue. Gullible individuals will buy into the fake discourses there. ~ Team SACSS

Artem Horobchenko (@SSShken) reportedLaunch day numbers, since nobody posts the boring ones. Reddit: 601 people saw the post, 1 upvote. X: 88 views, 2 likes. 18 of them landed on the site. 61% left from the first screen. Nobody has started a project yet. The gap I did not expect is between Reddit and X. Same text, same day. Reddit delivered seven times the reach of my own account and almost no reaction. X delivered almost nobody and the few who saw it responded. Reach and response are not the same problem and I had been treating them as one. 18 visits is small enough that I can go read the session of every single one. Which is the one advantage of numbers this size.

Tony Zhu (@tonyzhu) reportedAlmost been a reddit user for a decade. It's only in highsight do I realize how genius the core principles are 1) presort people by interest, this does cause echo chambers for divisive topics but are also just plain useful for the other 95% of the time 2) tree structured replies, objectively a better experience than linear 3) distributed content ranking: both upvotes and down votes are required and give a sense of participantion

HowlingStrittposter (@Strittposter) reported@zissoucath Funny story, had it on my PS4, upgraded my hard drive after they removed it from the store so I lost it for a long time. Then I found an exploit on Reddit that allowed you to use a DNS server to redownload it as long as you had it attached to your account still and got it back. I have no clue if that exploit still works or not though

King David Version (@mwaura_davie) reportedReddit has no twitter account? Who should I scold when things are not working there?
-
Amish Assassin (@AmishAssassin) reported@JoshDenny The problem most people haven’t realized is that AI can be used to be bias toward the narrative prompt. I have tested in multiple models that will return different results depending on the wording used. So it may use a Reddit post or a bias article instead of fact.

employed book-buying cat ******* (@NirrimsLiar) reported@wlwhiskeys True true!! Although even than people will keep coming with the same 5 books it’s dire for normies out there. But one google search to a reddit or scrolling down 10 seconds instead of the first google page or ai summary will definitely get you some better recommendations

Hans Jhob (@HansJhob) reported@Lazybratposts Where'd all these **** in the comments come from? Did reddit get shut down? Are the jews pouring in bot **** again?
-
Crafty | LEGO Fortnite (@CraftyPlaysLF) reported@TorridPlays Twitter, Reddit and Facebook are awful for assuming and trashing the game when they don't know what's going on. Only reason I single out the youtube video is because 37,000+ people saw it, with dozens and dozens of comments believing it. It's shameful truly for anybody to lie about the game like this. It just continues to put down the hard work of the people that are working on the updates that are coming.

sabir hussain (@sabir_huss50540) reported🚨BREAKING: A guy named Michael Sitarzewski turned a Reddit thread into 51 specialist AI agents, and 143,000 people starred it. It's called The Agency. Everyone building with a coding agent starts from the same blank slate: "You are a helpful assistant." So you spend your evenings writing system prompts, trying to bolt expertise and a point of view onto a generic model, one persona at a time. He already wrote all of them. Here's what it actually is: → 51 hand-crafted agent personas, each a real specialist with a domain, a voice, and defined deliverables, not a one-line prompt template → Covers the whole shop: frontend, backend, QA that defaults to hunting 3-5 issues and demanding visual proof, DevOps, product, design, even a Reddit community-builder and a "reality checker" → Works natively with Claude Code: drop the .md files into ~/.claude/agents/ and activate any of them mid-session → Ships conversion and install scripts so the same roster works across Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode, each tool's format handled for you → A companion native app for macOS, Windows, and Linux installs the whole catalog with a click, no clone, no scripts, and auto-updates. It's MIT, local-first, and runs zero telemetry The people whose agents actually act like senior specialists didn't write better prompts at midnight. They installed a roster someone spent months crafting and gave away. 143k stars. 23.3k forks. (Link in the comments)

Akansha Agarwal (@akanshaag45) reportedGetting cited by ChatGPT is NOT just an SEO problem. You need to: 1. get mentioned on Reddit 2. get quoted in press 3. get compared on review sites 4. fix your actual website too 5. show up consistently, not once So you're still only optimizing your own blog and wondering why nothing's changing, aren't you?

🎀🌸PrincessJupiter🌸🎀 (@nalushipfeak) reportedSo pulling off faulse copyright sticks...okay dumbass. I guess your dumbass forgot that you can be taken down for this dumb **** too then. Also no one takes you seriously because you were a ******* reddit mod.

Vafa Mah. | Digital Growth (@vafamahmodi9) reported@ilavanyajain The audit is solid. I’d stop before buying the domain: a brand-owned review site is still a first-party claim. Better move is to fix the sources already ranking—G2, Reddit, comparison pages—and make every claim traceable.

Aaron (@adspends) reported@Kang__ster @DemzDeliver He isn’t “tackling issues” that help society nor is that his intent.. he’s cherry picking what takes least effort w/the highest chance of someone taking a candid-looking photo of him acting like he’s working for 2 minutes & posting on X/reddit to his **** riding cults’ applause

Joey - Master of Wit and Sarcasm (@jjstyx) reportedI had a client tell me today, that can't be the problem Chat GPT said it's this...I told her, this is the problem and remember Chat GPT is getting its information from idiots posting on Reddit. She said, oh well that is true....LOL

Sanjay (@_sanjay3) reported@kushal_mehra @GoI_MeitY shut down @Reddit for a year

RoxsusXIII (@HollowKnightMew) reportedWhen I tried to find friends on Reddit this was literally my exact experience, people who reached out to me themselves too mind you. And it made me feel like there's just a fundamental problem with me and nowadays I don't even ask many questions anymore, **** yall!
-
BodieFPS (@BodieFPS) reportedcrime in america went so badly for joe, he's resorted to doing a fake reddit AMA for the first time every single question just trolling him, as expected lol idk who is handling joe but they are some boomers who don't understand the internet and just throw money at problems

freakyfrancis (@freakyfrancis_) reportedReddit is such a wild place, this Asian dude messaged me asking if I would be down to **** his wife as it’s his life long dream, he even sent me multiple nudes of her💀
-
AuraVT (@auravtuber) reported@Ravenger___ That's all the Google ai is but it scrapes for more than 1 source and conglomerates the info Which usually results in worse unhelpful, nothing related, or nonsense info I was looking up a pc error earlier and it gave me information from an unrelated error because it pulled from a reddit thread
-
Love Bug Rights (@LoveBugRights) reported@MaryandLupe @Ioanaz4t9 @sonirw Oh, the word is out. Reddit blew the lud on the whole ASC/Elon/Shivon timeline open. I posted it earlier. With the help of Zilis it says. Both women working against Elon. One by stuffing a fake romance down the world's throat and the other trying to "extort" money from Elon.

Usama Ansari (@usamaansari047) reported@TTrimoreau Honestly, we all know that the first customer is the hardest part. I was recently using Claude and built a product from scratch in about 5–6 hours, which included all the research, domain hosting, and everything. I would say I spent about 3 hours on research, and after the research, Claude built the product in roughly 1.5 hours. After that, it was nitty-gritty, and in 6–7 hours, my entire product was ready. Earlier, I needed to hire a developer and understand him, and he might not be able to deliver the product the way I want. At that time, I had already changed my website layout two to three times. Now, my issue is that I definitely want to attract a few customers. As for my marketing, my strategy is very simple: I’m posting on Reddit to get some initial traction and feedback
