"a revolt" as if there when weren't a million alternative communities on Reddit and Fedi already. |

People power-trip while stupid all the time. Actually, it's usually more of a prerequisite I think. |

To be fair, these days Reddit is overrun with clearly AI generated content. The Linux subreddit is seeing slop posts about multiple new vibecoded projects every day. So, I don't envy anyone trying to moderate and preserve real communities over there. |

Another baby step in the relentless march towards idiocracy. |

Reddit added auto-translation to their client, so non-English speakers are deliberately misled by the UX into thinking the thread originated in their native language. Of course, this led to a self-imposed Tower of Babel situation where naive users are regularly unknowingly talking to people in their native tongue where no one else speaks it. Blame the admins, not the mods. https://www.reddit.com/r/bugs/comments/1dfnsub/how_do_i_stop_the_automatic_translation_of_all/ |

Yea absolutely, some of these automatic translated threads seemed easy to spot IMO with something about the writing being just a little off or unnatural. I had some situations where I was not 100% sure myself. Not to mention people that are unaware this is even a thing, could easily be fooled. Any platform that does this should really be stating that content is being automatically translated for them. |

I'm still on old reddit which doesn't have this feature so instead I get to see random non-english posts interspersed in a conversation and get confused before I remember there's an auto-translate feature on the site now |

Multiple times, in the US, I've clicked on a Google link to a reddit thread and it loads in like Turkish or something. Usually it just takes a refresh of the page to get back to english, but it's still weird that it's happened to me multiple times. |
