The best subreddits are those that are either a) very tightly moderated or b) obscure enough for the Eternal September not (yet) having happened to them. Most of the rest of the content is extremely low quality.
- jimbob45 6y ago4chan only removes illegal content and I enjoy it just fine. Reddit’s voting system pushes down low-quality content well enough on its own.
- Sharlin 6y agoWell, good for you! Myself, I enjoy places like r/AskHistorians or r/sex which absolutely would not exist in their present high-quality form without very active moderation.
- ddoolin 6y agoI completely disagree with your latter statement. Redditors constantly push garbage replies to the top of nearly every post. So, so often I come across top comments which are attempted witty one-liners which contribute next to nothing are followed by _tons_ of equally useless comments OR it is clear the top comments didn't read the article or are pushing their anecdotes as evidence to the contrary, etc (the irony of that is not lost on me right now). I don't think all forums need to operate the same, and it's beneficial that they don't. There should be places for people to say whatever the heck they want, and places that are moderately moderated (heh) and places that are tightly moderated.
