Has he been seen at all this weekend?
To add to the oddity, reddit for me is only showing things from 4 days ago in /all, as if trying to cover up what the news looks like today, which is a tweet from the demented president that seems written by a bad impersonator along with an eerie silence.
/r/all is gone if you’re on New Reddit. It redirects to your personal feed now.
/r/all is apparently still available on Old Reddit — at least for now. Who knows how long any of that will still be around.
Such an odd decision, as far as I can tell.
It’s to make censoring the front page easier, as /popular is sorted by sub popularity, not post popularity. /all was sorted by post popularity, weighted by how many users were in a sub vs how many interacted with the post. For instance, on /all, a post with 1k/1k active users upvoting it (a 100% upvote rate in the sub, but posted in a small niche sub) would get sorted above a post with 5k/25k (a sub with literally 25x as many active users and 5x as many upvotes, but only a 20% upvote rate).
/all has pretty consistently been a thorn in the admins’ sides, because wide scale censorship is really difficult when a tiny niche sub can hit the front page of /all. In fact, /all was fantastic for new subs trying to get off the ground, for this exact reason. If you were trying to start a new subreddit, one of your biggest sources of new users was likely going to be /all users. But it also means that wide scale censorship was difficult for the admins, because any splinter movement could start a small sub and start hitting the front page. Admins delete the sub? Users just make a new sub and repeat.
Removing /all (and forcing users to /popular instead) allows the admins to direct their focus to only the big subs. Because /popular is sorted by subreddit popularity, not weighted popularity. So small subs have basically no chance of appearing there. By pushing users to /popular, they can focus their attention on the large subs (which largely have mods who are cozied up with the admins already) instead of having to moderate a thousand tiny ones.
It’s no mistake that they removed /all right before the midterms, as they can more easily push a certain narrative if they only have to focus on a few subs. It’s also an advertiser thing, as /all doesn’t filter out NSFW or controversial subs by default, but /popular does. Advertisers tend to complain when their ads are shown alongside NSFW or controversial posts, so directing users to /popular allows them to tell advertisers that they’re not accidentally showing their ads next to porn or political posts.
dammit
How did you get so wise in the ways of Reddit?
I think the curated front page is a death knell. It certainly was for Digg.
And Facebook. They killed the wall and replaced it with an Instagram style feed full of garbage.
My Facebook is full of piracy tier adverts. If that’s not a sell signal for Meta then I don’t know what is.
I think all doesn’t exist anymore
I’ve read that it still exists on old.reddit.com, but for how long? nobody knows.
r/all has been super weird the last 2 days man
Here’s the thing - we’re at the beginning stages of the war affecting things beyond “it costs more to drive”. Europe have been meeting about how to reopen the strait without the US
I think the strait will open again soon, and whether that happens without the US’s involvement or the US is forced into it in some way, the end result will be the same - there is will be less powerful globally than it was before, and Iran will be much more powerful globally than it was before
Yeah, except neither Europe or any of the other countries are going to open the strait by joining an unjust and illegal war with Iran. Instead, we’ll negotiate with Iran and simply accept the new status quo in the region. One in which Iran controls the strait and the US has effectively backed out the region.
Small? Theres a small chance you’ve been peeking out your basement window.
I guess you shouldn’t have elected the Dynamite Monkey for president. Twice. But man, think how much it will pw3n the libs!
Oh, and you guys who decided to stay home on election day? Fuck YOU, too. You had a clear choice between boring corporatists and 100% Concentrated Evil and you thought it was more important to have your adorable little protest non-vote.
🤏
Nah, you elected him twice, that’s not a coincidence
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, I’m probably an idiot.
EDIT for clarity.
Is that some sort of cope?
Hope, cope and dope, only things keeping me going ATP.
We shouldn’t have been doing half the shit we’ve done.
YA THINK?
But the alternative wasn’t pro-Palestine enough! /j
The alternative was just another corporate democrat who couldn’t keep his marbles straight and was switched out at the very last minute to an unpopular corporate democrat. The DNC fucked themselves over on purpose.
But yea, it still boggles me how Trump won (twice)
Tried to read this article but the first two paragraphs were so incredibly stupid that I couldn’t continue.
All I read was sarcasm of the highest order.
Welcome to reality.
I’m reminded of David Cross on the first failed term of PEDOnald…
This author is a woke libtard and always has been /s
We need to pray for Trump, that the Holy Spirit touch his heart and loose him from whatever evil control he’s under. I’m serious. – Alex Jones
Why do I have the feeling he’s not referring to something spiritual, but rather someone or something specific?
With Alex those can be the same thing. He calls those anywhere to the left of him (which is almost everyone) literal demons. He also thinks aliens are demons. So he could mean either or all of the above.
Who can really know?
Let’s not jump to conclusions.
