Yeah, that's where you always find the good shit. Vote based communities are for creating false consensus, not discussion.



Add in the ability for subreddit mods to silently hide any post for any reason, too. There should at least be a “deleted by mods” counter/button like there is for replies hidden by the OP on twitter.

It creates this awful system where you might never see pushback on an idea.

Horrible place to spend your time like all social media if you care about exposing yourself to bad ideas that you’ll passively pick up through mere repetition.


Any political subreddit for example.
