Jesus yes, it's paranoia to presume Reddit is the one doing that or that it's widespread or that it's impacting literally anything.

It's also paranoia to extrapolate that to mean anyone disagreeing with you is therefore astroturfing. I'm not, and I think Reddit should remove all mods who continue this boycott. Go through my history, try to find a single comment that an LLM generated, see if I'm a shill or paid actor. My account is "only" a few months old, surely that means I can't hold my own opinions in conflict to yours, right?

If you can't understand how 7 examples (you linked the same one twice) is vastly far from meaningful, nor how it does not in any way actually connect back to Reddit itself, you're falling victim to a whole host of biases.

So according to you it’s paranoia to assume it’s impacting anything?

I never claimed you were a bot or LLM or anything of the nature, I also never claimed it was everyone but that clearly SOMEONE is doing it and it’s blatantly obvious. Stop making strawmen to attack. I pointed out patterns that people were seeing and your response is “but it doesn’t impact anything.”

Maybe you should check your biases first before throwing stones. Evidence was presented of someone clearly astroturfing against the blackout but it’s just my bias of course. Not evidence.

Honestly I’m getting strong “my opinion is the only valid opinion” vibes from your reply simply because you dismiss actual evidence to go into a straw man that I was attacking you.

Why are you only selectively recalling what I wrote, despite the fact that what I wrote is literally inches above this quote?

And my opinion is irrelevant here, what you're claiming is not meaningful. It's like the "voter fraud" debates. Could anyone credibly say there's literally zero voter fraud ever? No. But one can say with certainty that voter fraud does not change the outcome of elections in the US.

Because again, those are your strawman attack points. I never claimed it was Reddit, nor did I claim it was widespread. I was simply presenting evidence that it was happening.

Maybe reread my post which is literally inches above your comment? Hmm?

Again, glass houses.

Nobody is attacking you... hey is everything alright?

Again, reading comprehension. I never claimed you were attacking me. I said you built a strawman to attack.
