Not if you unsub from the defaults, which are garbage.

Not if you unsub from the defaults, which are garbage.
- digi_owl 10y agoAnyone can link anything to SRS, and that in turn makes the SRS come to you...
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoBut outside of the garbage subs, people don't.
- ubernostrum 10y agoAs a moderator of a medium-sized (~170k subscribers, cyclically reaching 1M pageviews/day because of the topic matter) subreddit, I wish all the people who frequent the meta/drama subreddits would have a big meetup that gets hit by a meteor while they're all there. It's impossible to know what will trigger one of them to come invading, but when one does they all do. If KiA decides they don't like something, Ghazi will inevitably follow to counter them, then SRD will link it up and send their users charging in, SRS will start cherry-picking the worst of the invaders screaming at each other and then... Oh, and there's no good (as in, works consistently) tool I'm aware of to mass-nuke entire threads of comments as a moderator, so I've had plenty of exercises in deleting a couple hundred posts one by one.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoI thank you for your nightmarish work (by the way, what's your sub? It sounds like you do a good job!). But yeah, they're all awful. r/KiA just keeps getting worse and worse. They're at the point where some of them are actually attacking John Bain, who is one of the symbols for ethical journalism in games, just because he has clearly stated that while he's pro-ethics, he's not going to involve himself with, or put up with, the r/KiA BS. All of them have gotten far beyond the point where they stand for something, if they ever did: their only purpose now is to perpetuate their own existence.
- throwaway1892 10y agoWhat's r/KiA? I have only found a subreddit about the car brand (KIA)?
- Semaphor 10y agohttps://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/ https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/ I'd advise not to go there ;)
- throwaway1892 10y agoThank you. And the titles does not seem too bad, but I haven't read the comments. Edit: Well, it's not too bad
- scruple 10y agoWhat they're not telling you is that it's the GamerGate sub-reddit. I stopped paying attention to _that_ a long time ago, so I'm not sure what the state of that sub is today.
- throwaway1892 10y agoIn fact they are quite open about it. > WELCOME! > KotakuInAction is the main hub for GamerGate discussion on Reddit. And I have read the few top thread and it's not too bad (YMMV).
- scruple 10y agoYes, well, I think if we've learned anything, over the last 2 years of this issue, it's that it is a supremely polarizing and subjective topic.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoIt's better than it used to be in some ways: much of the worst have moved on to other forums.
