I get what you’re saying and I don’t disagree. But there’s people who are openly disrespecting Reddit (which I am fine with) and then there’s people openly disrespecting ANYBODY (which I am not fine with). To me, it felt like people were just lurking and waiting for an opportunity to hate on something/someone. As others have pointed out, maybe it was always like this. But it definitely feels worse to me.
Goes to show how much bullshit the mods were filtering out for free. Glad to see them kicking back and letting it all go to shit after the recent shenanigans.
I was briefly a moderator of a sub with a few thousand subscribers, the amount of spam alone made me give it up. It’s relentless and never stops. The only thing that made it tolerable was the mod features in Apollo. I can’t imagine what it’s like with some of these really active communities with millions of subscribers. People just don’t realize how prevalent the spam/harassment truly is online, and Reddit screwing over the volunteers who clean up that shit is enough to keep me off for good.
