Stay away, it's easy.

I've returned lately to my local sub and found it to be a complete cesspool.

What I was surprised to see though was that since I left last year, posts have been getting comments in the hundreds. Which is very surprising because it wasn't that popular of a sub. I could go on there and basically recognize the majority of the users as they were mostly the usual same users I got to know over time. Posts would get maybe 20-30 comments top in average. Now it's like 100-200 comments with the usuals not even showing up anymore.

I really doubt that my old provincial sub got that popular over night. And if it has, I wonder how the mods, who were working as volunteers, are dealing with this.

I'm surprised because it's the Quebec sub, which has a peculiar French language with a peculiar way of writing in French that's not like normal French or European French.

I think bots are infecting everything in Reddit to boost post numbers since they’re going, or have gone, public and inflate their stock price. Reddit is such a dumpster fire. I’m so glad I deleted my accounts and moved on.

I suspect it would only take a few clicks of a mouse to get an LLM to only draw from a specified part of its data. For example, they could set parameters that make it heavily favor content from r/Quebec in it's algorithm.
