    While i agree r/science was terrible at this, it at least kept the conversation relevant. On new discoveries its nice to read about the science rather than: “here comes the end” or some fart joke.

    Id like to think this meme is directed towards user exodus rather than moderation to keep things on topic. I hope that the fediverse keeps things on topic and doesn’t complain too much about moderation when it’s necessary.

      If Reddit moderators only removed content for the sake of keeping things on topic, people wouldn’t hate the place so much. There’s a reason the mods over there are so universally maligned, and it’s not because they’re beacons of rationality and objective reasoning.

        The best part is if you got notified a comment was removed you couldn’t see what the comment was and they wouldn’t tell you what rule it broke most of the time. If you asked they’d blow you off.

        I love how Reddit mods always got lumped into one. There were a lot of good ones, maybe they just weren’t power mods, out Reddit famous. It’s the admins that really screwed the pooch

      All r/science was, was r/politics…every fucking “study” was from sudo science bullshit that just allowed everyone to circle jerk each other about their own bias. Hell that meav mod was just a repost bot that posted non stop from that psychology today website and then sold their account…and it’s still a fuckin mod.

        I quit that sub when I got the 100th study with a sample size of 20, talking about some clickbaity shit that was going to be silently disproven a few years later.

        It was always double-digit sample sizes.

          That shit was sooo fucking annoying. “We went to a klan rally, and polled the 10 white guys there” All said they vote republican…Title: “All republicans are KKK members study shows”…like what in the literal fuck
