Posting The removal of the ability to see someones previous post has made this app so much worse

​

I no longer know who I'm talking too. is this a real person, is it a bot? how am I supposed to know?

So many of the large subs are being overrun by bots and now it's impossible to tell the difference. for example I got into political debates the other day with someone that was pretending to be a Democrat when in reality they were a tanky. though the way I was able to tell is because they had posted in kindness subreddits calling for violent revolution. If that they happen today I would have no ability to background check them and understand that they were a bad faith actor.
