  • While I appreciate the criticism, and it’s not wrong, I want to remind you that:

    1. We’re really damned if we do and damned if we don’t. You think we should fact check people? Everyone absolutely hates that if their thing ever gets removed for being not factual. Remove comments complaining about prices? We remove the more egregious off topic stuff (you don’t see how much of course) but see above, we start removing more and we’re power hungry instead of absent.

    2. Reddit ruined access to a whole slew of tools that could help, but also they made a lot of regulars and mods check the fuck out. Nobody really gives a shit anymore. Oh and that absolutely includes fact checking.

    3. Remove enough shit and you don’t push the culture into a better direction, you just get a dead subreddit. It’s easy to see various other subs with this problem.
