- discordance 5y agoSorry if this sounds obvious, but it’s the people within the subs that make it or break it. Some subs just don’t have those active people that make it gold.
- Ashanmaril 5y agoBad moderation can also drive away good people and good discussion. I still tend to keep up with most Android news on /r/android but the mods there went super full crackdown on moderation the past several years, constantly removing threads for minor infractions of the rules, and breaking up good discussion in the comments section of a post because the OP was breaking some rule or another.
- DynamicStatic 5y agoI'll tell you the reason that sometimes stuff gets removed for "minor infractions" is because if you don't people keep doing it and referring to those things that are minor infractions. "why can they do it but not I?". It just causes drama and I think the majority of the moderators are doing it for free on their own time.
- nunez 5y agoThis is why I love Reddit. The huge trash subs that drive most of the ad delivery are what fund the smaller subs that are extremely valuable
