- mdeeks 4y agoI guess it depends on the subreddit and mods, but most subreddits I've been to are littered with jokes, memes, and various levels of anger. They are usually hilarious but not what I want to wade through most of the time. It hides the useful info.
- cmh89 4y agoEh, I think not showing 'downvotes' really helps. Reddit really has a confirmation bias when it comes to upvotes/downvotes so its harder to get inertia to downvote dump on someone.
- christophilus 4y agoWhat’s the prevailing thought you can’t go against here? I tend to be a right-leaning libertarian, but am liberal on some issues. I see conservative comments. I see liberal comments. I see plenty of “Something bad happened? That’s because of capitalism” comments. I see plenty of pro-capitalist comments. It seems to me that the moderation here is pretty balanced.
