I reported a bunch of spam-link bots, porn-bots posting CSAM-adjacent stuff, and a slew of stuff that was very obviously and blatantly in violation of Reddit ToS.
All the links/content remained and my account got suspended for “abusing the report function”. Considering the content I reported, it’s a safe guess that Reddit admin and moderation teams benefit from having such material on the site. Not sure how, or why. But their actions seem to indicate something.
Then you look at the controversies Reddit has had… that one dude’s suicide, Ghislaine Maxwell holding a powermod position on front-page subs, the powermod controversy wherein a dozen or so mods had thousands of subreddits under their control.
There’s also been a huge attitude shift. While most of it seems the same, there’s a very strong anti-American presence now that seems to make sure they fit that sentiment into every thread whether it’s justified, related, or completely out of place.
The Reddit algorithms or whatever also seem to love pushing certain topics to the point of stripping it of any/all meaning and turning into propaganda.
Yeah, it’s not like the kids are just showing up at the school. There’s still a registration process, part of which includes providing the school with documentation that your kid has their shots.
Now, is their an increase in waivers? I could see that maybe being an argument, in that if you don’t have “papers” you might be less likely to seek medical care, especially preventative care.
