    I left Reddit after the fuck spez debacle and haven’t looked back. I occasionally go to reddit through Google for some specific things. But I don’t log in or engage in the content besides reading what I was looking for. And I use my ad blocker so that dickward spez doesn’t get anything from me.

    But yeah I suppose this is more about mods. They think they have so much power at the end of they day it’s a fucking forum, that is not much power.

      Mods on reddit didn’t have the power to slow down the rate of posting. That sounds like anon was posting so much the site’s anti-spam measures kicked in. As always we’re only hearing one side of the story here.

        If you get mass downvoted your account gets rate limited for ten minutes, too. Happened to me once when I had the audacity to say I didn’t think Skyrim was all that great.

          I also have criticisms of Skyrim. I mean, it’s fine, and genre defining, bit doesn’t hold up super well.

          Ah. I wonder if EA went through that with their massively unpopular comment about having a sense of achievement.

          Having not played it, or really any other games, I have no opinion on Skyrim. It’s insane to downvote people because they dislike something like that. But that will happen here on Lemmy, too.

            IMO Skyrim is good, has its flaws but i find it fun. Modding is really where it shines for me, I can make my game truly unique.

            Unfortunately they decided to update it nothing big but so many mods broke, I almsot got my mods going again and another update drops.

            I’m buying the older version of skyrim but for better or worse it’s unlisted on steam so it’s very unlikely it will be updated

        You might be right. But I am glad that I left Reddit. I was spending way to much time there.

        The only thing I miss is learning about a lot of stuff from specific subreddit’s

          Yeah, the “hobby” communities here definitely don’t have the momentum they had on reddit.

        I guess you are right in that regard. Maybe the difference the is that there is no monetization being driven from the top to force the hands of mods.
