Hey Marlowe, if not knowing anything about praxis is such a massive hindrance and problem maybe use a bit of the literal centuries that you've sat around or travelled through space to learn a bit? I'm sure Jadd has a community college or two you could pick up a few courses at. Maybe spend all that time you gained from not sleeping to fill in some knowledge gaps that you are totally aware of and already understand how much of a problem it is that they exist?

Halfway through the last book, and man, if Marlowe put a hundredth of the effort he puts into learning old, useless quotes into learning how a goddamn circuit works, maybe a couple billion fewer people would need to die.

How the hell is the empire so damn incompetent? How do they not have countermeasures to the nahute? They're fucking drones with teeth. The US military could come up with a countermeasure in six months let alone centuries of war.

Why do they keep shoving useless normal leagonares to fight extras and robots? Why do they think this is a reasonable plan?

And most importantly how are they not just peppering world ships that don't have shields with anti matter missiles? In a universe that has anti matter how is a single world ship any kind of threat? They should be cracked in half within minutes of encountering imperial fleets!

Summary POST /api/hide writes are persisted server-side but are not being applied to subsequent listing fetches on the modern API / mobile / new-reddit path. A single hide via old.reddit.com retroactively causes the entire backlog of unfiltered hides to start filtering correctly, which strongly suggests a stale per-user hide-set cache at the listing layer that the legacy hide path invalidates but the modern path does not.

Why this looks like a server bug, not a client bug

• The hides ARE persisted: after the old.reddit action, posts hidden DAYS earlier through Relay (and never touched on old.reddit) immediately disappear from the feed.
• The trigger is doing any hide on old.reddit — not a refresh, not a re-login, not re-hiding the same posts.
• Reproduces across two independent clients (Relay for Reddit on Android, and my own OAuth script using PRAW calling reddit.request("POST", "api/hide", {"id": fullname})).
• Hides issued from old.reddit alone never exhibit the bug.

Steps to reproduce

1. On Relay for Reddit (Android, version X.Y.Z, using own client ID), browse /r/all and hide ~10 posts.
2. Pull-to-refresh the feed. All 10 hidden posts reappear.
3. Open old.reddit.com in any browser, logged into the same account. Hide a single, unrelated post.
4. Return to Relay, pull-to-refresh.
5. Expected: same as step 2 (10 posts still visible, because that's been the behavior). Actual: all 10 previously-hidden posts AND the one hidden via old.reddit are now correctly filtered out of the feed.

• Also reproducible via direct API calls with my own OAuth client (PRAW 7.8.x).
• Affected feeds: at least /r/all and /r/AmItheAsshole; appears global.

• Possibly related: PRAW endpoint change for /api/hide trailing slash (April 2026, praw-dev/praw#2099) — but that was a write bug; this is a filter-application bug downstream of a successful write.

Hypothesis (FWIW) Looks like the listing service is reading from a cached per-user hidden-IDs snapshot, and the modern /api/hide write path is not invalidating that snapshot. The legacy old.reddit hide controller does invalidate it, which is why a single old.reddit action flushes the backlog.

There seems to be an issue with hidden posts showing back up for users on multiple platforms, looks like you can fix the problem by going to old.reddit.com and hiding a post there as per this thread on the issue https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/1tchc1n/anyone_else_having_issues_with_hiding_posts_on/

The issue has come back for me several times and it basically only happens when I've been using relay, not when using the site via a browser. I'm curious if the dev(s) have any insight to why this might be and if there is a fix for it?

I can't seem to hide posts this morning but the reddit status page shows all green. Anyone else having issues?
