I usually just go to c/all because I liked seeing posts from here, health, and others. A few weeks ago they changed the sorting and now 90%+ of the home page are posts from three subs: TheDonald, which, whatever, there are good commenters there. A lot of misinfo gets highly rated before being called out though; GreatAwakening, which is waiting another two weeks; and IP2Always, which I can't even tell if it's real or entirely bot driven.

What happened? Why did they change this? Conspiracies used to have a post in the top ten every day, now it's not even on the first page. ConPro used to have a lot of front page content, now they're fourth fiddle. Was Conspiracies getting too close to the mark? Has there been a noticable drop in participation here?

What's going on with the Mandela Effect? Is the name itself an effect? Mandala Effect?

Is it mass formation? Subliminal programming? Mass "misremembering"? Glitches in reality? Parallel realities blending? Time and space manipulation?

It seems the longer the discussion goes on the more comes up (as a greater diversity of people learn about the effect). I remember a few years ago when first reading about it there were really only maybe 5-10 really solid ones. Now there are dozens talked about by tons of people.

What's going on here?
