Reddit is filled with very vocal terminally online people. Their views and actions are not representative of normal human beings.
- imperio59 8mo agoIts top 100 or so subreddits are moderated by the same ~10 or so individuals who impose their ideological views on the subs and delete posts or ban anyone who dares challenge them. A great example of how community moderation inevitably slides a platform to one side or the other of the political spectrum. I honestly don't think mods on reddit should be allowed to moderate more than 1 or 2 of these top sub-reddits, this would at least force some semblance of diversity of thought on the platform.
- moshun 8mo agoI think you’re dramatically overestimating how many sane adults would want to mod a top 100 Subreddit for free. It’s a job that generally only attracts the very dedicated, the very bored and/or those who’ve figured out how to monetize it.
- overfeed 8mo ago> Reddit is filled with very vocal terminally online people. Reddit went mainstream many years ago, hence the marketing dollars spent there on astroturfing, and brands acquiring pet moderators. The posters/commenters/readers follow power-laws like any online/offline community.
- nitwit005 8mo agoTry doing a search for something like "Average US online time". Those are normal people. Normal people are terminally online.
