Low effort posts and low effort comments in every thread. It was to the point where Reddit felt like call and response to me.
Also, there was no way to contribute to the posts on the front page because they were overloaded with comments. There was always an arms race on who got the top comment on a post that had the potential to get a lot of traction— which means the quippiest comments were always the first.
It’s intellectual junk food.
Yeah it’s not like Reddit is a governmental body here lmao. What’s the repercussion if they fake a vote? Downvotes?
Pretty obvious that these tools only apply to dissenting subs… after this all blows over, there won’t be a single reddit employee even looking at this system
It’s really eye opening reading thinly veiled threats in Reddit’s wholesome chungus corporate-speak these past couple days. What a garbage company
Lmao I called it earlier today. He's more worried about this than I thought though because this is really soon. Forcibly reopening subs is a powerful move from Reddit's end, but it's the nuclear option. It takes any perceived power away from protesting mods, and will risk Reddit paying for moderation in the future. He's trying to scare the strike... it means it's working.
