  Aug 18, 2026 at 16:35 UTC: Reddit is now in recovery monitoring. Community reports of site outages and slow performance have subsided. Stability is being verified.

  @abdullahships Something in between — category shown, threshold hidden. What you hit should be fixable; why it scored X is what gets gamed. Your Reddit case though — right category, wrong call, zero appeal — isn't a vagueness problem. That's a no-recourse problem.

  @PS_Support_US Look at Cloud Streaming, it seemingly has stopped working and many people in the Reddit community face the same issues. And the same constant troubleshooting advice isn’t working, something has to be checked on your servers

  There is a new version of spam advertising evolving right now. And it’s gaining traction inside free/public communities on places like Discord and Reddit. Here is how it works… 👇🏽 1- an influencer builds a discord server (to coordinate “campaigns”) and then set bounties for anyone to join with the sole purpose of driving traffic back to incentivized landing pages outside of their discord by sharing images, links, etc. inside any free community they can access under disposable accounts. 2 - those members run around creating swarms of accounts and start joining every free/open discord or community they can. Spamming images and ads into the server. They know they will get kicked or blocked but that doesn’t matter they have unlimited accounts because apparently everything in tech should be free. 3- this means most discord servers are open. And let you post freely. Auto mod tools block obscene or rated R images but not an ad for something like (mrbeast campaign xyz . Com) the content changes too quickly to be recognized, and an image scan reveals mostly harmless content. So it requires real human moderation. 4 - the smarter spammers automate this. And run it hundreds of times per day/server with various accounts posting similar images and links. Maybe even the same person with multiple accounts in the same server so they can fake engagement too. It’s the same tactic that is playing out on social feeds but inside private communities designed to filter out specifically this type of noise. 5- their efforts are totally unaccountable to advertising regulation. Almost untraceable in general because what discord moderator is going to report this at a scale in a way that matters. And discord has an incentive to allow this to continue. Just like cell providers could stop spam calls/text in a blink but don’t. Because on paper it shows “growth and network activity” so the vanity stats grow. This gives the impression of surface growth but the channel slowly fills with noise so overall community value growth does not keep up. 6 - slowly (just like Reddit) discord becomes unusable and filled with bots and spam that just siphon the value from the network as real people slowly stop showing up or engaging because of the spam and other low value posts take over the feed. Either that or conversations move to increasingly private channels with more and more strict access validation. Aka “gate keeping”. 7 - This is going to lead to private only common areas. The digital public square will become a thing of the past soon. AI and short sighted “ad innovators” are brining the dead internet theory to life faster and faster every day. Spam articles, spam accounts, fake traffic and dark engagement circles. I have more thoughts about this. But will save it for a proper article one day soon. In the meantime… **** all of you for stealing from society slowly and creating an invisible digital rust that is slowly eating away at trust and civility. You are the scourge of the 21st century.

  @mhp_guy Reddit is terrible. Their leadership should be ashamed of the toxicity.

  @Layo_FH @D__Melb Nobody is disputing that it was a story, but it's the 220 articles in 9 days that take it beyond the pale. The school friends tracked down, the anonymous attacks on Reddit published as verified concerns. All for a minor public figure. You do see that right?

  my brother just made his first sale selling info about drugs. legal ones. modafinil. caffeine. l-theanine. nootropics. the stuff silicon valley has been quietly using for years while everyone else is on their third coffee wondering why they can't focus. he found a reddit thread. 847 upvotes. 190 comments. every comment a variation of: i've been taking random supplements for 2 years, spending $200/month, and have no idea if any of it is actually working or if i'm just expensive placebo-ing myself. he pasted the thread into claude. 4 hours later he had a complete nootropic stacking guide. what to take. what not to combine. what the research actually says versus what the subreddit thinks. how to build a stack for focus, for sleep, for energy without the crash. listed it on gumroad for $37. built a faceless twitter page around cognitive performance. first sale came 11 days later. he texted me at 2am. "bro someone just paid me $37 while i was asleep for information about legal drugs i've never personally taken." i wasn't surprised. because the system works the same way in every niche. find the pain. build the solution with AI. sell it from a page with no face on it. the niche doesn't have to be your passion. it has to be someone else's problem. my brother found theirs in a reddit thread at 11pm. built the product in an afternoon. made his first sale 11 days later. the full system he used is inside AI HUB

  @brianonhere Reddit kicked me off the other day, told me I needed to change my password, now won’t let me log in and can’t view it for more than 45 seconds. And no, desktop mode doesn’t help. Even emailing myself a link to login doesn’t help. @Reddit

  LATEST: Reddit joins the S&P 500 TODAY - $3 BILLION in forced buying incoming The social media platform officially joins the benchmark before market open, replacing AvalonBay Communities. JPMorgan estimates index funds tracking the S&P 500 will need to buy ~16.7 million RDDT shares - roughly three days of average trading volume. At Friday's ~2.9 billion of mechanical demand. The setup is unusual. Reddit is down 31%+ YTD and 42% from its September 2025 peak. Now a wave of passive buyers must step in - regardless of fundamentals. Friday's 13% surge was the pregame. Monday's 7.5% pullback to $164.50 was the profit-taking. Today is the main event. $RDDT $SPY $QQA $META

  Can low-volume sending still damage a domain’s reputation? A reddit poster reports several fresh domains developed problems within weeks despite authentication and verified addresses. It’s anecdotal—but worth asking whether recipients actually expected the mail.

  For ppl who are wondering. In the end I found 3 not openly available e-mails in a reddit thread from someone who had the same issues before. I wrote there and had my case reviewed again, since normal support already denied my first review. Don't give up, keep annoying them.

  @AndyTMonaghan @SrLinguicaVIVE @AndreSegers Seems like too many people downloaded it so it's paused, but it wasn't taken down. On the Reddit post, there is a new .CIA download which seems to still work, and it seems the author is reuploading to MEGA as well.

  The same coordinated mind virus that was used to manufacture public hysteria against data centers in the United States is now being deliberately seeded in India through Meta platforms, Reddit, and Telegram. The playbook is transparent and well-documented: flood the information space with exaggerated, selective, or outright false claims about water usage, electricity consumption, and environmental damage. Manufacture outrage. Stage protests. Delay or kill projects. The real target is not the environment it is India’s ability to build AI infrastructure, data centers, advanced manufacturing, and semiconductor plants. This is classic obstructionism. In the West, the same networks that scream about “water-guzzling” data centers in America and India have no problem with the far larger industrial and data infrastructure being built at breakneck speed in China, where environmental standards are routinely ignored when it serves national industrial goals. Hypocrisy does not get more naked than this. India cannot afford to treat this as random online noise. Data centers and semiconductor facilities are strategic national assets. Delaying them through manufactured public anger is not environmentalism it is economic sabotage dressed up as activism. Platforms that allow coordinated misinformation campaigns to shape industrial policy must be held accountable. Soft handling of this will cost India years of technological and manufacturing competitiveness. Development is not optional. Sovereignty requires infrastructure. Those trying to stop it while their preferred nations race ahead should be called out for what they are.

  @reddit_lies It wouldn't surprise me if Reddit was already populated by a lot of DARPA style AI bots long before civilian AI took off. Perhaps it became an issue.

  i stopped working because of crypto i kept the facade for a long time as i was a trapper lol . imma be 💯 but thats what kept me afloat when i was down bad . before pepe and 2023 i was a regular dude i still am . 97% of my friends dont even know the things ive accomplished with crypto only because they always thought it was a scam . i proved them wrong with shib in 2021 i kept quiet even my mom made 3 grand from 200 bucks. IT took countless PNL/screenshots to prove it was real . im a perps trader/equity's trader at heart even though options and memes are the reason i got hard into trading . fact is i put that work in after GAMESTOP. I still remember seeing it on reddit . its the same as shib in 2020-2021 because i was in doge i didn't fade ryan and GameStop . I didnt fade amc , I didnt fade any of the **** stocks as i was a grower/extractor . im back to see how this year is . LETS GET IT.
