I wish we could see up/downvotes like in the past. I think reddit may be artificially boosting some posts into the front page. You can see in the screenshot it has very little upvotes (or older) compared to the other top 4 posts.

I have no evidence other than noticing right after the election, /r/conservative seems to be hitting the front page every day. But I remember before the election, it only hit the front page once in a blue moon or so. Is this just me? Am I the only one noticing this?

    I enjoyed the void, commenting into the void was my favorite pastime til I did it on an alt and got autopermbanned, some thread with thousands of comments and it instabanned all my alts and main account

      It really helped the adhd, helped the anxiety knowing no one would probably see it or reply

        you used it just to reply to yourself like you’re doing here? you can do that with messaging apps, unless you got a thrill from someone may be watching

          It made me feel better that I was screaming into a void, no one would see it or reply, no pressure, I still wanted to say stuff, reminded me of twitter before I had hella ppl ik irl follow me, ruined it

            Hey, unironically you should try one of those private social networks where it’s all just AI bots and you’re the only human. I mean, I hope you stay here too but it might help you to have a place where you can say things without human judgment but you still get some kind of feedback.
