God I've seen the drone footage on Reddit sometimes, I don't like suddenly having my Reddit feed have videos of Russian men shooting themselves in the head to avoid dying via being blown up by a drone dropped grenade. Absolutely awful stuff. I'm not sure when Reddit became Ogrish.

Unfortunately it always has been.

I hardly think your reddit feed is suddenly full of that.

  /r/all is a thing and some people use it.

  "full" is your word

  Why? Mine certainly suddenly became that.

  The reddit frontpage algorithm very quickly pigeonholes users without accounts.

  It's when I go to /r/all to see what the broader Reddit is up to. Basically every day there's war footage (at least marked nsfw), the other Reddit front page was featuring a video of a Ukrainian soldier being beheaded by some Russians. Also noticing more random videos of fights and people getting beat up. I don't remember this from Reddit even a year ago.

    The worst I've seen on reddit's front page (on mobile) was an auto-played video of a kid playing with a gun, accidentally shooting her brother in the head, then taking her own life without hesitation. It happened within seconds seconds of autoplay. But if you try to open an NSFW link, like that one was, the site blocks it and tells you to use the app to see NSFW content. Reddit sucks.

    Huh, that does sound kinda different from what I regularly experienced a few years ago. I guess it’s just another reason to not visit Reddit.

I’m a daily Reddit user, and I don’t think I’ve seen gore there … ever?

  you're just not looking in the right places. There have been some traumatic posts from ukraine I've seen on /r/combatfootage and other subreddits. stuff I really wish I hadn't seen at all. People with their face half blown off by grenades, a few guys who drown slowly after getting hit by a drone dropped grenade while in river, a man who crawls out of a covered area thats been grenade dropped, corpses behind him burning, his arms not working and pale from bloodloss. It's there.

    You really stepped on the gas in describing those horrible things in detail. > stuff I really wish I hadn't seen Or hadn't read. Your choice to visit "/combatfootage" doesn't match your wish not to have seen combat footage. What did you expect? Non-combat footage? We shouldn't advocate for censorship. We should advocate for more common sense on the user's side.

I watched a lot of combatfootage previously that wasn't as traumatic but the use of small drones in ukraine with grenades has upped the level of very close range footage to a new level in ukraine.
