Reddit blocking all major search engines, except Google
Reddit blocking all major search engines, except Google
%%excerpt%% Reddit has commenced its assault on search engines, blocking those that don’t have a commercial relationship with the company, like Google.
You're viewing a single thread.
They're also blocking posts by users who aren't banned or even got a warning. It appears to the user as though it's been posted, but it hasn't.
shadowbanning is a totally different issue that's existed for a long time though.
Shadowbanning? Do you have more info on this?
They’ve done this for a long time. It’s supposedly only supposed to be used on bots but it definitely isn’t in practice
It definitely is in practice 100%
I didn't know there was a name for it, I don't have anymore info on it, but I can show examples of it happening.
