So I created another Reddit account to join a subreddit dedicated to a handheld tool I like. If you wonder why, I have one account per subreddit I patronize, so I keep all my Reddit activities separate and Reddit has a harder time monetizing my activities on their platform.
I commented a few times to get a handful of karma points to post something, and then I posted “If I set the dip-switches like so, so and so, will it increase the battery life?”
That’s it. Nothing else.
Nobody replied - fair enough, the setting in question isn’t obvious. But someone modded it down.
What the hell is there to mod down? 🙂
It has to be the platform that makes people stupid and mean.
I think what you meant was Moderators have become passive-aggressive
modded it down?
It sounds like even though Reddit still is the only place that has these hyper specific communities, no one is actually engaging with you there, and you’ve apparently made numerous different profiles you now have to keep track of to avoid having your information monetized and this is causing mods to suppress your posts. Do I have that right?
So, why are you still bothering? Why use it at all if you can’t get any answers there and you’ve had to make managing 100 different profiles a part time unpaid job basically?
Why come tell Lemmy about it? Half the people here right now are here because Reddit is complete garbage now. This is not breaking news.
Reddit is not going to get better. However bad it is now will seem like a happy memory in a years time. Just let it go dude.
