Anon on the Reddit update.

SquirmyBurrito@reddit

Does that mean I no longer have to go to work and pay bills?

This blanket statement is nonsensical and ignores that some of us just like our privacy. I don’t need someone digging through my history so they can dismiss something I say because of my sexuality or neurodivergence.

[-]

RymrgandsDaughter@reddit

If the person you are arguing with was going to dismiss your statements for that they were going to do it for something pathetic regardless. Nonsensical my ass if you wanna argue with nazi's in good faith in 2025 that's on you but it's NPC behavior ngl.

As far as your bills you love the life you want to live. If you're tired of society go outside and never go back inside. Hippies do it.

[-]

zombieGenm_0x68@reddit

is this fr?

[-]

loscapos5@reddit

Yes, but it was mainly to keep privacy for the user.

Sadly, this makes it hard to check previous thot posts, because you can't see their posting history, thus, cannot see their pics or vids

[-]

Testing_things_out@reddit

It's not hard. Literally click the magnifying glass on their profile and run a search with an empty query.

[-]

Phenergan_boy@reddit

Bro if you overshare private info on your reddit account, you don’t deserve privacy

What’s popular isn’t always what’s right. Especially on Reddit of all places. Nice assumption. I’ll tell you any of my opinions right now ask away bud. I just don’t like conversations getting derailed by what subs I’m active in or my hobbies or whatever. I like things to stay focused

travellingtriffid@reddit

It's not that people do it all in one post in an obvious way (although there are clearly a hell of a lot of fuckwits on reddit, so blanket statements don't entirely apply), it's more the slow drop of information over time.

You'd be surprised what you could find out about many profiles online. It's even easier if using modern OSINT tools.

[-]

SirBruceForsythCBE@reddit

People give away so much information without realising. If you had a bot to trawl through Reddit it could easily find out the age, where people live, what they do for a living and their marital status at a minimum

[-]

Munnin41@reddit

It also makes it harder to identify the brownshirts

[-]

oni_no_onii-chan@reddit

If an account want to have privacy, they shouldn't be able to posting at least. Many meme subs have agenda pushers(political, fetish, conspiracy, or 14 year older ideas) who posts more than 10 post a day and hijack the place into their personal blogs. This made tracking them as a user harder.

[-]

AntDracula@reddit

OH NOOOOO I CAN'T GO FIND A 10 YEAR OLD COMMENT WHERE A PERSON WASN'T DOOMING AND GLOOMING ABOUT GLORMF I'M GONNA BURST NOOOOOO

[-]

Realistic-Pain-7126@reddit

Onlyfans whores arent hiding their post history. Its usually Israeli, Indian, Russian shills doing it.

[-]

Sbotkin@reddit

Why would they hide their previous posts when it's their main income though?

[-]

BeavMcloud@reddit

Yeah, honestly this makes it easier to find OC porn. Block any private porn accounts because they're definitely bots/thieves.

[-]

Superkritisk@reddit

While I know this website surely wouldn't do it, I do know that other websites are making bots themselves to repost popular posts and comments to increase engagement and provide the millions of users with a quality feed.

It's quite astonishing that people haven't caught up to it yet.

[-]

Berkuts_Lance_Plus@reddit

No, it's not French.

[-]

chavis32@reddit

well it's easy, just assume anyone with their posts hidden is a bot and you're done

you got nothing to hide, do you Mr. Redditor?

[-]

SquirmyBurrito@reddit

If you’ve got nothing to hide you shouldn’t mind the police showing up to your door and asking to take a look around

[-]

TheDailySpank@reddit

No post history = get blocked

[-]

SquirmyBurrito@reddit

Just go ahead and block me then. I like my privacy.

[-]

The-Only-Razor@reddit

Good, block me. Anyone who needs to unironically click my profile isn't someone I need to engage with. I literally could not care less if it makes people think I'm a bot. The opinions of Redditors means less then dirt to me.

[-]

TheDailySpank@reddit

Blocked

[-]

spaceistasty@reddit

oh noooooo

[-]

rosebush2308@reddit

What is there to hide?

[-]

travellingtriffid@reddit

Have you paid any attention to how absolutely unhinged millions of redditors are?

You don't even have to say the "wrong" thing these days: there's plenty of people who will happily twist what you said and infer you rape puppies from an innocuous statement. I'd rather not have them all at my front door, thank you very much.

[-]

TheDailySpank@reddit

There's a method of creating bots that start out by reposting shit for karma then they go dormant for a while then magically start pushing whatever narrative they're paid for.

Turning off the post history makes it impossible to see this type of account anymore. Therefore, if I can't see your post history, I'll block you.

I think if enough real people did the same, those bot accts should be pushed to the bottom.

[-]

rosebush2308@reddit

Haha, I meant it more as a rhetorical question, but you have a good point. I'm going to start doing this now. I hope mods in recommendation-centric subreddits start to take action against them. I think downvoting might be more useful than blocking though. Just because I can recognize a fake account doesn't mean others will bother to check. In a world where putting "reddit" at the end of your Google search will output an expected "human" answer, we deserve to only receive answers from people we know are humans, not just unrecognizably sponsored slop.

[-]

MadBananaMen@reddit

I don't take advice from people without post history. But I don't mind it in more shit posting communities. Some people get attacked for things they shouldn't have to hide, like being trans.

Reddit could just get rid of the bots. If we can spot them they can , too. They probably won't do it tho

[-]

TheDailySpank@reddit

Doing so would lower numbers and that's not good for charging by the viewer.

I only came to reddit years ago because it was the closest thing to newsgroups that existed at the time.

[-]

EcruEagle@reddit

I just blocked you

[-]

Zeus1131@reddit

There's a convoluted way to check post history still but I don't care enough to use it

[-]

centurion762@reddit

They’re not really hidden. Just click on their profile. Go to the search bar in the profile, click in the box but don’t type anything. Hit enter and it will pull up all their posts and comments.

[-]

zaplinaki@reddit

This doesn't work. Blank search doesn't seem to be allowed but putting in a single letter like a, e, i, o, u works

[-]

slayerx1779@reddit

How did we master and then unmaster the art of searching on the web?

[-]

Sengfroid@reddit

Arms race. Basically after search was mastered, websites mastered the art of gaming search.

When everyone had an equally low likelihood of discovery through search, they didn't invest much in it, but as search got better so did the motivation to cheat it, and thus google's to perpetually try and update out the cheats. Add in copyright and other legal, and basically you get sterilized and generic results. If you want to see what it looks like without the sterilization, try Mojeek next time, but you'll see that the old web approach to modern web is basically chaotic.

tl;dr Enshitification but the free market version where everyone worked together to make everything worse

Most highly regarded thing the admins have done and they've done a lot of stupid shit on this site. You're already anonymous with a reddit /u, all hiding post history did was make it more difficult to spot bots and trolls.

[-]

theyeshman@reddit

I don't give a shit what people posted in the past as long as they're not a bot or troll. Hidden post histories make it more difficult to tell if someone's a bot or troll, a 2 second glance at a post history used to be the easiest way to spot a bot.

PrivilegeCheckmate@reddit

I don't care if I am easily accessible to people finding out more about me. The fact that there's so many people who see a comment and then dig through comment histories is honestly pretty strange behavior.

Sometimes I check because I want to know if it's a bot, or a troll, like you can get three researched and cited comments deep and then find out they have a negative comment karma and just like arguing for the sake of arguing/strawmanning.

[-]

Horrorifying@reddit

Yeah I don't really care about affording that to people. If you have a problem with something I'm saying, you can respond to the content of what I said. If you don't care to do so because you think I may be trolling, that also really doesn't bother me.

There's essentially zero benefit to allowing people to follow me around on the anonymous internet forum.
