The search autocompletes almost every other recent term I used. It's not a recency issue.
In defense of Reddit (yuck), if there's been one constant in all the years of its existence, it's been that their search is the worst. Not saying it's not intentional, cause it probably is, but damn if they've not worked hard to establish plausible deniability.
It's entirely possible the index for type-ahead search is not refreshed all the time but every day or week, which means it'll lag on words that weren't in the news a day ago
Yes this makes total sense for a site like reddit where topical elements trend..
Have to agree. Always has and will be ass.
I checked other (non-political) recent keywords and it seems to be doing ok.
Fuck reddit.
And fuck spez
On any other search engine:
site:reddit.com alex prettiGood old advanced search + operators!
Works for me...
I'm hardly ever on Reddit anymore because Lemmy is so much better, but this isn't a Reddit issue.
Yeah; it just didnt refresh to the latest searches
Can't pronounce Reddit without Edit
It is not far fetched but how do we know for sure it is intentional?
We no longer live in a world where we can automatically assume idiocy over malice.
the saying was always ended with "but don't rule out malice"
Accuse them of it being intentional and you might get an answer.
Give them excuses and you never will.
Also its intentional.
"Ineligible for recommendation". Turns out that freedom of speech was when TikTok was Chinese.
To be entirely honest, i don't know what our "values" are anymore.
That's the normal thought now, and not "At least compared to our declared current enemies, you're allowed to criticize our government without consequences" :
In a speech of 355 b.c., Demosthenes rightly remarks that the most important difference between the political systems of Athens and Sparta is that at Athens it is permitted to praise that of Sparta and denigrate one’s own, whereas at Sparta no one may praise any system other than the Spartan. (Dem.20,§106)
That's the basis of freedom, and once we lose that, what are we left with ?
A bourgeois "democracy" where medias are owned by the capitalists and citizens-owned medias are increasingly threatened of disinformation ? When you're choosing the least bad and are surrendering your power to elected people that often decide in private, and almost never once through referendums.
A rule of law with many lawfare cases proving a lack of independence from the government ? Where money can buy good lawyers, and blue-collar crimes are treated way harsher for the same sum of money stolen than white-collar crimes ? And the latter is even legalized under fiscal "optimization", and laws promoted by their lobbying.
Without painting other countries as even worse, what values are we left with ?
I literally have hundreds of such examples : https://x.com/i/status/2012799140061659566
That is even more shocking than censorship : https://x.com/i/status/2014796564624253394
And many dozens of journalists because they were supporting Russia https://x.com/i/status/2014655503616405681
And our "leaders" don't seem to realize that critizing ourselves is the basis of our system(, and that unlike countries victims of our attacks we don't even have such excuses) : https://x.com/i/status/2012724357072892409
The e.u., u.k., and Australia, are multiplying laws restricting what they're deeming illegal speech. They already proved their intent with covid, and are even acknowledging that it'd be a dictatorship if they directly regulated social media posts(, but since it'll be indirectly through proxy organizations such as EUvsDisinfo instead of WarOnFakes, then it's all right 🙄).
"Manufactured consent, not just for CBS anymore!"
I can't reproduce this. Maybe it's something at your end?
