So, reddit’s shit platform is set up so that if you use their default news link it shows subs you have filtered out. Well, I happen to filter subs I’ve been banned from and the cowards at r/worldnews banned me because I said a mean thing about America a while back.
As it turns out… I had not noticed the sub when I was using an alt account and posted a comment to their little walled-garden, and now it seems I’m permabanned from all of Reddit.
And I mean- every account I make is instantly banned-
So my question is:
How can I block all of that shithole from showing up on iOS web searches. I cannot interact with the site. So I’d rather it not appear in web searches altogether.
This business of Reddit posts/comments coming up in search is very troubling; a while ago, I was searching for some medical info (on a condition I have and know a fair bit about), and some Reddit things came up so I looked at them for the hell of it. The first thing I read was just completely wrong. Like, totally wrong. I would hope people are being very leery of what they see on reddit, but they probably aren’t. 😕
Sadly numerous LLMs have now been trained on all that wrong info.
And it’s likely on purpose because of the hate-boner people have over LLMs.
