The reposting has gotten to a whole new level, and the amount of content pulled straight from tiktok and twitter has increased. Also started to see some very uncanny subreddits climbing into r/all.
I'm done loading that place all together pretty much.
Yer, great way to kill momentum of a new community that is built around discussion.
As long as this kind of thread doesn't get repeated over and over.
So no free and open discussion then? Only approved group think will be allowed?
I understand the benifits of what you are asking, but those are the very things that lead Reddit to what it is now.
Yer prett much. Where I live the entire system is still built in COBAL for another 80+ year service contract that there is almost no way out of.
It was more of a response to the minimum account karma.
Account age is reasonable enough, after the service has grown a bit more.
However, if people start getting banned for the wrong reasons and have to create new accounts to be able to have discussion. It does create a barrier for that discussion to take place.
If electricity works in the US, what is Texas bitching about when its cold?
Even in your anecdote the owner never actually benefited from the extra costs.
Imagine doing something or having a life/business philosophy that doesn't exist for your own soul benefit, and exists maybe for the benefit of others.
I think that is too idealistic. It could very easily go into a downward spiral that a community could never get out of. It happens already on several subreddits already. You may not have experienced it, but I can say it for certain happens. There have even been scifi series written about it that have taken the concept to the extreme.
requiring basic levels of karma most certainly is. You have to say the right things first to get the group approval before you can contribute.
Are you seeing my point now?
Someone has been downvoting me every time I get a response from you on each comment.
That seems like more of a reason to use FF...
But not 'being a dick' is far too subjective in a global village... The world does not beat to one drum.
I have to stand on eggshells with my language around USamericans as an example.
I really don't think you do, you are being incredibly closed minded and sticking your head in the sand. Because it has no* effect on you (yet).
That sounds nothing like what we are talking about at all. Weird knee-jerk reaction. I feel like you are being a dick about this.
I was using reddit less and less, but when the furry subreddits made their way into /r/popular and /r/all that was it for toilet browsing/squat'n'surfing... Seeing a sign for 'werewolf breeding zone' was enough for me.
