Wagner Almeida (@AlmeidaWagner) reported@gamrjerome @PremierBaller @djJulianDrive someone on reddit got theirs and said it did indeed fix the ghost inputs. it also seems like the d-pad is a touch thicker

galagreat (@GalinaLyamina) reported@Yahiko1239170 I honestly think @OpenAI doesn't have its own testers and only discovers its terrible bugs thanks to people on X and Reddit😭
-
ɥʇıɯS ʞɐZ (@ZakSmithSabbath) reported@johnvvariety Until Reddit changes its fact-check policy, I think it's a relatively good idea. Not as good as shutting it down, but the fewer people reading the better
-
Breezy in Vegas (@hotGOPgirl) reported@TheGriftocracy @Kentuckygirl1 The people that post on Reddit are the ones that you pass at the store and then you never say a thing they never look you in the eye, but have no problem talking **** online.

Eagles77 (@eagles77AA) reported@ASH_SVENT @tropotropotropo You don’t have to be condescending. Insulting real people over a fictional ship, and we’re the ones with “mental issues”? Lol Yes, I’m the one who replied to your Reddit post. Are you in denial or something, posting everywhere about how much you hate the ship and the shippers?
-
aj (@va0ks) reported@cyechlinn reddit has a community nd they tell all of the main issues. all the issues though are good for the most part. x-men have a lot of good comics js wouldn’t know where to start.

Alex Wyatt | Meta Ad Creatives (@Alexwyatt47) reportedThis ad spent $62K at a 2.16 ROAS over 90 days. it opens with a frustration we pulled directly from a reddit thread: a real person describing a real problem in words no copywriter would come up with. that's the whole approach. we mirror the customer's own language back to them, their frustrations, their failed solutions, in the exact words they used. when someone reads an ad and thinks "how do they know exactly what I'm going through," that's research doing its job.

Raheem🇧🇸 (@Checkballuptop) reported@YeahItsAhNo Maybe it’s me but I didn’t know wnba reddit was a thing and I doubt they knew until they saw an opportunity to farm engagement and cry about a non issue
-
Gadget Agent (@dtp_ai) reported@cybercpu The good thing about that is: avoid Reddit. I also avoid the Issues section of any repo where screeching Tylenol kids are complaining about their favorite games not loading.
-
Zerosoy (@zerosoyman) reported@NkoCrz @financedystop You've got problems understanding that text. The dude is writing it on reddit. That should tell you.

Shane Kennedy (@OfOttawa) reported@MikeFromHC @ThinkingAtheist Well, I hope I won’t end up noting that it was silly of me to take the bait and engage substantively, but fair enough. That said, I did respond to the meme pointing out correctly than it is Reddit-tier—i.e. a superficial and unserious examination of faith, belief, and human purpose. LEFT SIDE: Christianity certainly begins with the reality of our fallen condition, but that is the diagnosis, not the point: the full Christian life is one of transformation, communion, joy and ultimately transcending that fallen condition through union with God and one another. Read the lives of the saints—the Christian claim is not that man is “broken, sinful, dumb, weak and nothing,” full stop, but that fallen human beings can be radically transformed into something far greater than they presently are. RIGHT SIDE: And the “science” side displays an equally basic confusion: science is a method for making descriptive claims about reality; it does not tell you that wonder is good, that a person has “potential for greatness,” what greatness even means in valueless atheistic worldview, or what human beings ought to become. Those are metaphysical and normative claims, so you haven’t replaced religion with science at all—you’ve simply smuggled in a rival metaphysic, YOUR religion, and written “science” over the top of it.

xMDawgx 🇺🇲 (@xMDawg) reported@gatewaypundit Reddit is a far left fascist cesspool. They dont just censor the right, they ban the right. I have an account for one reason: sports. The sports communities I follow turned into anti-ICE communities. Pro-ICE comments were removed instantly. The administration needs to fix reddit

mrs. glock 🩵 (@mylovedes_1) reportedi saw on reddit last night hayden died and put my phone down ***** this can’t be the 2026 we’re living in
-
Smalls (@AnglisGreenleaf) reported@xintani @MarioNawfal She went for help. The problem is all the people blaming this on the husband. Its all fan fiction reddit til tok slop blaming him. He rearranged everything to be there with her and the kids. The one time he steps away for a few mins this happens.

Omar Choudhury (@OmarChoudhury99) reportedSome businesses need more traffic Others need fewer reasons for that traffic to hesitate about buying from them The reality is, you can't scale a reputation problem away... Eventually more people see it More traffic means more prospects doing their own research before they buy And if they find fake reviews, negative Reddit threads, defamatory articles, videos, or social posts... You've just created another reason for them to hesitate The worst part is you usually never find out which customer walked away because of it You'll only track a ton of link clicks, leads, site visitors that didn't reach your checkout page Meanwhile, that same content keeps sitting there and influencing the next person who searches your name That's why leaving it alone can do more damage as your business grows If something negative is hurting your reputation... Time for an online cleanup 📲

youfreakinnerd ~KorraWorship~ (@youfreakinnerd) reported@mirandadufrane @ManMilk2 Apparently the debate happening over his fresh corpse was a Shakespeare thing. 💀 the assassins were still Reddit asf though. They tried to talk to the senators there afterwards and after everyone moped TF out they walked down the street yelling about freedom before going home.
-
Punk With a Manbun (@bobofango86) reported@American_N3rd @LeadingReport @Reddit Every time you google for a solution to a problem, the top results always link to Reddit threads. The problem with Reddit is that retards that often run the subreddits and over enforcement of bans.
-
Angie Knows Ball (@ak_huggins) reported@Reddit You have issues. The WNBA sub is blocking any comment about @sophaller and banning anyone that discusses it on their sub. First Amendment? Wasn’t Serena’s husband the founder?

Mike 🦔 (@askhedgehog) reportedFound a guy on reddit who burned 600 credits and two full days on his AI app builder and walked away with... nothing. A task that should've cost twenty. And the comments were the real story, because everyone's "fix" was secretly the same fix. Here's the thing nobody wants to say out loud about AI builders right now: the ones that "work" only work because people quietly stopped trusting them to think. Every guy bragging that he ships full apps no problem is doing the same dance — planning in Claude, writing the schema himself, keeping a second AI on standby to catch the first one lying. They didn't find a better tool. They built a babysitter around a bad one and called it a workflow. That's the whole state of agents in 2026. Unbelievable at doing the thing, completely lost at deciding what the thing should be. Give one a precise instruction and it's magic. Give it a goal and it'll confidently spend your money building the wrong thing, then look you in the eye and say "done ✅". The tell is when your best users' top advice becomes "add another AI to babysit the AI you're already paying for." That's not a workflow. That's a product admitting it can't be trusted on its own. Whoever wins this next isn't going to be smarter. Just the first one that actually checks its own work before it turns around and says done.

Shinka - AI (@ShinkaIoT) reported@BrianRoemmele 13 words is all it takes to prove the alignment fight is a data-hygiene problem, and Reddit is the dirtiest tap water we feed these things.

NewbieDM (@newbiedm) reported@Polymarket Reddit is terrible. The echoest of echo chambers.
-
Rock (@Rockmih) reported@C_Digby42 @Graslu00 Had the suspicion the project this guy is trying to subvert wasnt bad lol, this same thing is happening all over the scene the guy doing the SH pc port was driven off the PSX decomp server and then people were trying to figure out how to retroactively change the TOS. Peak Reddit.

Areyoureadyforfreddy? (@Readyfor_Freddy) reported@Foiblaet Reddit has all of the problems twitter had but like 10 fold. Yeah twitter is full of retards and bots but I genuinely feel like most of Reddit's front page (like a good 70% of the users) aren't even human
-
Andre I Oliveira (@PeaceLuvDRe) reported@TheRabbitHole It's all the shameful creatures who can't stop gossiping. It only points the finger at the culture Reddit creates being the problem, not necessarily the WNBA.

Arun (@arunbhatia_) reported@ashu_trv @Reddit facing the exact same issue - I thought my account got shadowbanned or something
