Was discussing the CDC with a user (PatrickY6) on Reddit, and caught them lying.
Clicked on their history, because I wanted to see how else they lied in the past.
I read a couple of pages, and I closed it, but re-opened the user's history a minute later and it said the page does not exist.
Still get the same thing repeatedly. Can't even access the profile through private browser. I don't think it's deleted though, because his comments are still on /conspiracyundone.
I would imagine this is like the other "feature" that I mentioned, where "power users" on Reddit can hide their last comment from YOUR view, so they ALWAYS get the last word. The comments DO show up in their history, just not in the thread proper. But now it seems they can instantly hide their history from view as well.
I second that
Oh look, ANOTHER shill comment.
You are really racking them up in the last two days!
Funny, you've been here for 53 days. Telling me what is what.
BUT, you don't know what a shill is. AMAZING.
Who is sad? LOL
I find it hilarious. They are scurrying like rats to hide shit. But you are one of them, sooo...
Shill harder.
Or better.
You've failed already.
You're the one crying about me LOL.
You literally came into this thread to cry about me.
You should cry more.
And lie more...
Where was I sad, liar?
That's about the dumbest shill comment I've heard.
Where'd ya hear it, the nightly news?
LOL
How many alts you have again?
It's widely known that you are a Hasbara troll.
I've come to the conclusion that another hidden bonus feature on Reddit is something I think of as "volume". We know about banning and shadowbanning and "something went wrong" when trying to post, but all these are explicit or readily detected.
I think the "volume" feature limits engagement for users they don't care for. So if they turn down your volume to 20% for a while, your post or comment is shown to only 1 out of 5 others users that would otherwise have seen it. I don't think there would be an easy way to detect this externally.
I've posted some pretty spicy comments that got through okay, while at other times, I'll post the first comment with a long, thoughtful answer to an obviously sincere post asking a direct question, and then get neither reply nor upvote while there's all kinds of BS engagement posted afterwards.
I can certainly imagine programming this, so I have to imagine they have too.
When you said volume, my mind instantly sprang to another trick they use...doubling comments in a thread, sometimes more, so the comment count balloons.
Yet again, it is only something that happens every once in a while, but with enough frequency to not raise too much concern. Haha, stupid Reddit "glitching" again.
Definitely see it the most in worldnews.
The thing I still find funniest about Reddit is how many foreign moderators they have, especially for subs about American politics. Like we really need Aussies weighing in on how strong Pelosi is LOL. They REALLY don't like when you point that out... :) I don't think comments about Five Eyes would probably fly there.
On a side note, the mayor of Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, is an Aussie and a total globalist (big shock). Wants to remove guns and build up the rich areas.
It's like Ashraf Ghani, the Johns Hopkins professor that fled Afghanistan after becoming president and looting some cash. How close is his name to Afghanistan too?
Ah, you reminded me of something I forgot to mention. I said the "volume" algo would be hard to detect, but you can compare the comment count to a hand count. Of course, no one ever does that, right? But if it's low it's easy and I've seen a number of times where displayed comments were less than the count. Must have been naughty boys and girls trying to say things that just weren't true!
Or maybe the comment counter is a Dominion voting machine.
And then there's "vote fuzzing".
That one made loads of sense. Can't have actual upvote/downvote counts, now can we? YT of course took similar action.
Funny how "liberals" are the least democratic people there are.
How could you say that? The "liberals" LOVE democracy! You know, we just all take a vote. And if it so happens that it doesn't go their way, well fuck that, that's not democracy at all.
Sounds pretty accurate.
Dont go on reddit. Case closed
That's already been stated.
I'm not worried about Reddit at all.
But yeah, twitter is horrible. A lot of sites that popped up at that time had such clunky interfaces. On purpose of course. Look at Pinterest...geez.
No. You're just bumping into "eventual consistency" of a distributed database.
There is no 1 reddit server, but many. These servers do not all consult a single source of data but also many. The priority is to store comments as fast as possible and the synchronisation across multiple databases is done "eventually".
If the load balancer moves routes your requests from one server to another, you can end up on a server that hasn't received the database updates yet.
