  • Exactly. Some of the best subreddits were so great because they had heavy moderation.

    Probably the best example of this is askhistorians. Made a comment that was on topic but had no sources? Removed! With a clear (and public) comment of why it was removed. It was clearly stated in their rules that this was required, so it was absolutely justified.

    We have no idea what these comments were and whether they were in violation of the sub’s rules.

    Let’s shit on reddit for the actual things that are going wrong. This seems more like getting outraged over a picture of your ex with another guy/girl/whatever gender their interested in in the background.

  • The point is that not every sub/community is the right place to discuss these kind of things. There will always be something major going on, should every sub/community be constantly discussing these things?

    For example, there’s a lot going on in US politics right now the the SCOTUS decisions. It’s definitely worth discussing these major things, but in the right place. A niche gaming sub would not be the appropriate place for that.

    The reddit API changes were different since this would likely affect every subreddit.
