The search autocompletes almost every other recent term I used. It’s not a recency issue.
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
“Manufactured consent, not just for CBS anymore!”

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.
I checked other (non-political) recent keywords and it seems to be doing ok.
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.
Can’t pronounce Reddit without Edit
Fuck reddit.
And fuck spez
“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 🙄).On any other search engine:
site:reddit.com alex prettiGood old advanced search + operators!
I can’t reproduce this. Maybe it’s something at your end?
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.
It’s right there, the 3rd item down in your results. What am I missing?
It’s spelled Pretti
Ahh, that’s what I get for trying to read without my glasses on. Thanks for the correction.
Thanks for the
correctioncorrective lenses. FTFY
And who is this?
I come here to get away from the negativity of Reddit, only to find people are just as bad over here when someone asks a question.
Yet another victim of ICE’s murder spree.
To the downvoters of this: seriously, you are not ready for someone not to know everything? Not knowing doesn’t mean not caring - I don’t remember the previous victim’s name, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t care that she was murdered
But it’s a white American that got murdered this time. How could people possibly not remember his name?
I’m not american
No Google exists where you’re from or?
US defaultism
I don’t blame them for not knowing, I’m blaming them for not doing the fucking bare minimum of just looking the name up first.
Most services, including Lemmy, have an infinite wall of posts. Checking every name would be a full-time job. And writing a title “John Doe who is/was/will be (explanation), (what happened/will happen)” is super easy, as you have to write something anyway
If you have enough interest to make a comment on a post you should have enough interest to open up another window and quickly put a name into a search engine. It’s pathetically easy.
If I’m going to waste my fucking life writing a dumb question I’ll have to take time to check back on that would make me an idiot when Google is right fucking there.
I assume all of those comments are meant to pretend like it’s not important. It’s 2026. Come the fuck on.
The man who was murdered by ICE
Thanks \o/
Edit: did not know that either
o-forward slash is how nazis signify the roman salute, people on r/chapotraphouse used to use o7 as a salute
When people tell you who they are believe them.
That’s a really far reach, come on. It’s not even the right arm.
Awwwww, for me that was a eve online thing… Guess I need to rework my text emotes…
If I’m not mistaken it’s the guy who was most recently been killed by the ICE agents in the US. Notable fact is that he was a US citizen.
IMO, notable fact is that this was an arbitrary execution :
He was disarmed (carried a concealed gun but it was taken away from him in the moments leading to his death)
He was not resisting (although there was a bit of scuffling, he quickly ended up cowering on the ground, both hands on the ground).
The ICE agents could not have really feel threatened in any way (a single woman in company of Alex, pepper sprayed and being restrained, a sparse number of onlookers filming some distance away, probably less then the total number of agents).
Something like a full charger was unloaded into the victim.
Well that’s beyond messed up
Found the Reddit user
Or, maybe, someone outside the US?
Like me? Jokes of Reddit users aside, this is very big internationally. Just checked German news right now and it’s still the headline article.
Good maybe your journalists will tell the world the truth.
Out of curiosity I checked some big news sites here, it’s relevant in the International section, but not the headline in any of them. And none of news had the name of the victim in the title.
I knew ICE executed someone (again) in broad daylight, but the video on social media was the source, not the news.
The authoritarian escalation inside the US may be less relevant for me than it’s escalation outside; like the kidnapping of the venezuelan president by US forces and it’s repercussions in south-america.
Maybe I’m cuban, colombian, brazilian or mexican, and I’m more concerned with Trump’s threatening interventions in my country like he did with Venezuela, knowing that the International community is ignoring his imperialistic moves on latin-america (as always).
… Or even violence cases in my own country are more relevant because they are a bigger risk for me. The world is bigger than the white western hemisphere.
Edit: But I get why everyone is very reactive right now, the situation is very fucked-up.
I am eastern European and heard of this on lemmy and I have strict keyword filters.
