The moderators of that subreddit are free to moderate their subreddit as they wish. The good news for you is that one subreddit does not represent open source and doesn't even represent reddit. Moderator quality varies. There's plenty of other places, on and off reddit, where you might be better received.
- danenania 2y ago"The moderators of that subreddit are free to moderate their subreddit as they wish." True enough. I guess I'm just wondering if they are truly representing the 200k people they are moderating with this kind of approach. This is the largest open source subreddit on reddit, and probably one of the larger open source focused communities anywhere, so I don't know if I would just dismiss it as "mods being mods" as if it was a smaller niche subreddit. And for sure, I have found other places that are more welcoming. The attitude just made me sad, so I was curious if others on HN have experienced this kind of thing and how they feel about it.
