Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly) the account has been banned from reddit

But are you an Indian and seeing Indian subreddits or are you non Indian and seeing Indian subreddits

SO IT ABSOLUTELY IS HAPPENING! I thought it was happening to me because I was an Indian, but no, every fucking person is seeing this shit. And no these Indian subs are weird man, they feel so much rage baity, or trying to karma farm. I have been active on reddit for 8 ish years, Indian subs weren’t like that. Some were, but it was mostly contained in pockets of reddit, it wasn’t the whole reddit experience.

Semrush is supposed to be not that inaccurate. It’s a data analytics platform. I don’t have the subscription to it to verify this myself, but it’s a huge issue if they are posting inaccurate information.

So it’s the thing with all big social media giants? Why it’s surprising is because with 40-35k mau, lemmy feels like it’s thriving, especially compared to reddit

Yeaa, I misread the information. 1.2m is the total users. Real mau is 40k, 35k specifically for this month

Here’s where I found this

One of the weirder information I found. The website seems to have quoted semrush here, so idk, but monthly unique users from America is more than America’s population

When you put it that way, bots sound like a reasonable answer. But would crawlbots actually prop up monthly active users that much? I thought it might be like 10%.

Yeah, but bots does not sound right. That would mean 90% of reddits monthly active users don’t even exist. 50% is a more pallatable number, even close to 60 would have been okay.

Why I am finding it hard to digest is because reddit already is suffering from a bot problem that’s visible. Like even the engagements are sometimes artificial, especially the political ones. So if you say 90% of reddit mau is bots based on this, then the number would be closer to 95.

After seeing piefed, I think they can divert resources to create an algorithmic feed for mastodon if they want to. Except I don’t know how much they are willing to do that. European projects are riding on half anger and half nationalism, not the perfect time for rational thought.

It is a pretty bullshit take by the mod, but being a mod he should have been more thoughtful of his words in my opinion

Sorry, you’re screwed. Reddits permaban is a pretty strong one. I had my account permabanned a few years ago, and nothing could be done about it, especially since you created a new account to circumvent the ban, it’s the final nail in the coffin.

Don’t worry though, I don’t think you are missing anything. Matter of fact, I was able to circumvent the Ban, when I got a new phone, but you have to create a new account with a completely new email address. Or if you’re on computer, just changing the operating system and doing the rest like I said is enough to circumvent the ban.

Again, I would say use this as an opportunity and try getting off social media app.

No it’s not. Ik it’s a month old comment, but I like to explore, and learn things and subreddits that are (actually were) unique. Targeted content is just not something I go to reddit for.
