ADI (@CuckwadDotraj) reported"Coincidentally" that reddit post got posted after tukku is getting bashed "Coincidentally" Choklians 2.0 are defending him with that fugazi reddit post when he's asked to step down "Coincidentally" all choklians with blue ticks are spreading it
-
Jaylon Nelson (@jaydeved) reported@Sherifdeenolat2 You drop in your startup idea, and Validly scans Reddit and YouTube for real complaints from real people then tells you if the problem actually exists, what's causing it, and what people would pay to fix it.
-
Akkusativ (@Akkusativ1) reported@dawnmoonfinale yeah I started to take reddit opinions less seriously after they convinced me to watch yyh with the englishdub. same problem, just a "spiced up" script, because they assume the original is boring because it doesnt have a joke every second line. they never even try the og.

Far Left Reddit (@FarleftReddit) reported@Atomsmade Reddit is down the hall and to the left

The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reported@FinanceJack44 So how is Reddit in trouble? Please articulate that clearly. Meta making a copy cat app doesn’t change how Reddit users interact on Reddit. It *might* impair user growth but again, if threads didn’t kill off Twitter I don’t see how it kills off Reddit.

Shohag Hossain ⚡️ (@Iammdshohag) reportedFacebook just quietly launched "Forum" a standalone app for Groups that looks suspiciously like Reddit. AI-powered. Question-first. Real answers from real people. The irony? Meta has been killing standalone apps for months… yet here they are building one. My take: they know the Facebook feed is too noisy for genuine community. Groups are where the real conversations happen. Forum is their attempt to unbundle that energy. The big question: can Meta make people open a 4th separate app when Slack, Discord, Reddit, and Circle already own this space? I'd argue they're not trying to win. They're trying to slow the bleed keep Group engagement inside the Meta ecosystem before creators fully migrate to owned communities on other platforms. Smart move? Or too late?

... (@OpticalQj) reported@kingjc1987 @pomba60409 @Lynnbankss Click on “login with Reddit” then swipe back. It bypasses the verification 🤫

Harshil Tomar (@Hartdrawss) reportedThis reddit engineer's company got HACKED in <1 week here's what they missed ( the mistake was not the code ) : 1/ they shipped before owning the release > first basic version was ready to deploy > another dev handled it like routine work > founder believed vibe coding was “good” > nobody treated release as a risk point 2/ the exploit was sitting in plain sight > AI chose Next 16.0.0 > critical CVEs were already reported > the issue was raised, then ignored > server got hacked a week later 3/ “only staging” still cost them > staging used production credentials > less important services still had real keys > team had to rotate keys after damage > weak environments create real blast radius 4/ the actual failure was ownership > vibe coding wasnt the full problem > no one owned patching before deploy > no one owned security after warning > no one owned the deployment pipeline 5/ every founder needs this launch rule > check framework versions before deploy > separate staging and production secrets > assign one person release responsibility > patch known CVEs before users arrive the real takeaway: > fast builds still need slow checks > staging still needs real discipline > AI output still needs one owner vibe coding gives you speed. it doesnt give you responsibility.

FreakGoons (@FreakGoons) reportedIn terms of the hashtags on that one post I made, he told me I could try and use the ones you used for engagement. I stopped because I noticed my posts don’t show up in them anyways. And the long style posts are something that I’ve always done going back to Reddit. Especially the comments since the post character limit was much less. And in DMs I was always the same way. I got premium on x so that I could post longer captions because I couldn’t say what I wanted before. Every single account I’ve had were long style posts which wasn’t a problem until now for whatever reason. Also, I’ve been saying booty gas for years now too. I honestly thought I was being copied. I’m not saying he copied me but I definitely wasn’t copying either. I haven’t changed in those couple of years. Just not as active anymore but I’m not trying to copy anyone. I also never heard him talk about some of the crazier **** I’ve said like ******* a corpse either lmaooo. This is how I’ve always been. And if I were to use ai my posts would probably be a bit more consistent since I don’t even have to think about what to say since I just have an ai do it. I also can’t remember the last time he made a long style post. Most of them are shorter now anyways. All of my posts are written by me. I honestly feel like he should know this at this point. And since we’re into the same **** some words or small phrases might sound similar but no one’s trying to replicate anyone. I’ve just been a horny **** and have been doing this for a few years now, that’s it. And then night before you seemed fine when chatting, and then you blocked me the next day

Atticus. (@cl0ckworkeyes) reported@mfflerpaper omg have you heard the **** with andrew joseph white?? ima send you the reddit threads but long story short hes a white trans author who never has a poc in his book but always somehow talking bout us and putting in poc specific oppressive issues

SrPinwino (@srpinwino) reported@GalaxyNova87376 @RoughJamArt reddit is down the hall to the left

Narkito (@narkito) reported@viciousratlol These are (most likely) bots! It's been a problem for a while in AO3. The reddit for AO3 gets a post like twice a week about it, there's also other ones that sound really passive-aggressive and call for the author to delete, or offer like a betareader, and those are prolly scams.

Maranatha (@Maranatha1911) reported@AppWoodHome We too have watched my wife’s blog income disappear over the last year or so. The issue is actually much more than just that. I.e. using Claude, you’re using a LLM that was trained by scraping the accumulated knowledge of all open source GH/GL/Stackoverflow/reddit whatever else resources. And now it’s serving it back to you in code slop. It actually goes as far as: What happens to innovation if humans collectively stop producing new, authentic, non-AI content of any kind? Will AI just stop evolving? Unless GenAI is possible, and the jury is still out on if it is, we’ll see a world where the AI parasite will have ‘killed’ its host and will be anemic at best, or worse, hallucinate to make up for it.

mersomas (@mersomas) reported@beb_run2 @_sanjeev_singh_ Are you referencing me or the dumbass in the Reddit post? Because both of your arguments are just user error caused by carelessness and ignorance
-
ɃɇsŧøfBS💎 (@BestofBSM) reported@BlindMike_ @whoarethesepod The issue about harassing the Cape Coral subreddit has nothing to do with whether it is funny, the entire issue is that Reddit BANS subreddits if they brigade other subreddit. These dolts can get DabblersAnonymous kicked off Reddit.

David Boltman (@TheChocoboRacer) reported@Waytooosweet @ringframe Make sure to do the reddit chungus jonkler laugh too, it'll be wholesome karma. Maybe The Batman Will Laugh, 2? Not my problem you have horrendous taste

William Wilfry Joshua (@web3chaos969) reportedBack in the growth loops of early SaaS communities, founders used Reddit threads to: ⪼ Validate MVP ideas ⪼ Discover ICP language ⪼ Build SEO content around real user problems ⪼ Find objections before launch ⪼ Study competitors through user sentiment

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?
-
JTX (@joe_tendo) reported@dancantstream @crashoverride Anything but address the issue. Destiny's reddit is bound to be active given the topics he discusses. What kind of straw man is that!?

CodedExit (@codedexit) reportedSpent a weekends researching startup ideas. 47 tabs. 3 spreadsheets. Still not sure what to build. To solve this, I'm building FounderSignal, an MCP server that pulls from TrustMRR, AppSumo, Product Hunt, IH, Reddit, HN, Youtube, and many more, ranking opportunities by real MRR + growth signals. Ask your AI what to build. Get actual data back. Early access. Link below👇

Dr Elon (@Dr_Elon1) reported@downbadcomment Bro said I’m attracted to women but the one feature women have is where the system starts throwing error messages. Reddit really is the only place where somebody can describe a car, explain they hate wheels, then ask if anyone else can relate.

gina_scooter (@gina_scooter) reportedI make fun of reddit but I promise if people tried any of these takes in the r&b pages there they would get voted down to hell.

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.

Tmos Monstrocity (@TmosMonstrocity) reported@TheFeyPrince @Gryphonknightt Yet Reddit fan art is being call fine art and AI is being called slop. This is the hypocritical stance. If it's too good it's AI, if it's bad it's AI, if it's mid it's AI art. Do you understand the issue here? Everything is AI that isn't them or their "friends". This is gatekeeping 101.
