Trying to have multiple streams for a live hockey game (from two different perspectives) I don’t need to link or anything but want the live at the same time. Is there a way to do that?

The majority of subs are "because you've shown interest in a similar community" and are all political. Is this happening to anyone else? I barely see anything I'm actually subbed to

yes im sending this from the Oculus 3s and i wanna know some good free games

Making Adult Friends

If I’m in an adult male, and I’m looking to make social connections, where should I go that isn’t full of kids/teens, people looking to date, or furries? I’m just an average bloke who wants to make a few friends to game with.

This has been happening for a few weeks now; I only use Reddit on browser on my phone and laptop, and at random times I can't upvote at all

If you try to report someone, you get the options:

• Username
• Display name
• Banner image
• Bio

In no way can you report a very clear russian state payed trolls, even when it's super clear

Has anyone recently gone through a DS people leadership interview at Meta? What sort of questions are asked and how do they differ from IC questions?

I'm guessing the error doesn't correlate to the page I'm accessing or anything I am doing, at all, because it never actually affects anything.

It seems like the error is just the presence of the bar itself, or perhaps a cron job is crashing. Either way, I don't need to be informed of it.

Anyone else seeing this thing for no reason on every single pageload?

Originally, downvotes served a clear purpose: to filter out irrelevant content and rule violations, helping maintain quality discussions. However, the system has morphed into something quite different - a disagreement button that actively harms discourse.

The current implementation has several critical flaws:

1. Reputation Penalties: Users lose karma for expressing unpopular views, regardless of how well-reasoned or relevant their contributions might be.
2. Self-Censorship: To protect their reputation, users often delete controversial comments, even thoughtful ones that could enrich the discussion.
3. Echo Chamber Effect: The system inadvertently promotes groupthink by punishing dissenting voices, even when those alternative perspectives might be valuable or correct.

History shows that many transformative ideas were initially unpopular. By designing a system that penalizes users for going against popular opinion, Reddit inadvertently discourages the fresh perspectives and innovative thinking that often drive meaningful discussions and progress.

A voting system should promote quality discourse while filtering spam and irrelevance - not serve as a tool for enforcing conformity. The current implementation fails to strike this crucial balance.

You spend an hour writing a thoughtful, well-written, good faith post that follows the rules on a popular sub with the hopes of starting a fruitful conversation.

Mods take it down within ten minutes or never approve it because they either disagree, you said the wrong thing, somebody already posted something similar or whatever excuse they want to scrounge up to block your post. If you're lucky.

If you are unlucky, they ban you from their sub, and if you forget you're banned on any alt account you ever use in the future where this very popular sub shows up in your feed, you could get your account permanently suspended. I once got a 30 day suspension because an overzealous mod at r/Facepalm once banned me for disagreeing with AOC on student loan forgiveness (and I wasn't rude or anything about it) and I later accidentally commented on another r/facepalm post from my alt.

This site is an echo chamber where even liberal Democrats like myself are silenced for straying from the orthodoxy, and one radical mod is all it takes.

I am seriously thinking about deleting my account. Spending an hour on a thoughtful post for it to be deleted or rejected has happened dozens of times.

Has anyone noticed the massive increase in extreme polarization around Reddit recently? If there is anything remotely political the most upvoted comments are often completely nonsensical. The only rationale I have for this is that the election is in a. Few days and the money is now flowing into manipulation here. Hope I’m wrong but doesn’t seem like it.

How do I ask questions?

I created a posting on r/Baking and said I was going to bake something based on the posting at a later date. Finding the old posting is hard given the enormous amount of traffic. If I find and update the posting will it pop up at the top again or be left somewhere in deep time?

As we know, when someone posts a post or a comment it will get automatically upvoted by the OP themselves.

But I have encountered some comments without any votes (not even a zero score!).

My only hypothesis is that they undo their automatic vote (of course, who on Earth do this?).

Note: Please open the picture.

What is up with Kroger ads on Reddit these days?

body text (optional)

I used to be able to type in soccer.reddit.com or MagicTCG.reddit.com in my browser and it would take me to the subreddit. In the past week, doing that will take me to my homepage and if I want to go directly to the subreddit, I have to type reddit.com/r/soccer, etc.

Did something change recently or is this just on my end somehow?

Can someone please tell me, when the platform to promote a sense of community decided it was better to have a safe space than an actual dialogue? I understand that this is a worldwide platform, but surely intelligent people east and west have to believe the free exchange of ideas outweighs your right to be offended? If that is the case then this structure doesn’t serve the community, it serves the individual. This platform has allowed for the creation of a million tyrants, each with their own kingdom of personal dogma. I encourage people to find other outlets, with restrictions that make sense regarding children and exposure to subject matter inappropriate. Then for any community 18+ that you join grow the hell up, and recognize things you should have known. There are all kinds of people in this world, who have a voice, and no one except children are entitled to a “safe space”. So if on a thread you say something, and people give you negative feedback? Listen to the feedback, maybe it will be to your benefit, or disregard it, but blocking people over stupid remarks and denying people their voice is cowardly. Dialogue is better than living in a vacuum. If you are mature enough to have a job, pay your own bills, raise your own children, vote, fight in a war? Then you are certainly capable of hearing someone be offensive, make an ass out of themselves, ask stupid questions, and yes even troll. This platform allows for none of those things. I’m almost tempted to post this on the conspiracy thread. The potential of this platform has been completely negated by would be tyrants.

I noticed a bunch of accounts only 1-2 months old posting solely pro-Israeli content. I engaged with one of them calling it out, was immediately bombarded with downvotes, multiple people coming at me, and then BANNED from worldnews.

They aren't even trying to hide it anymore, but that sub is completely compromised.

My default homepage setting is "Best". Shouldn't that only show posts that have more upvotes than downvotes? Why is reddit now showing me all these garbage posts that have been instantly downvoted to oblivion? Is there some way I can fix this?

Suddenly we have to make new avatars and they all look UGLY AF? What is this? New rollout? Glitch? Either way, my avatar now looks like a kicked meatloaf.
