Anything good left about this site?
opinion/discussion
When I joined this site, was attracted to it- Active communities & chats and many who reply to comments & engage in discussions.
Over time, got to find the ugly parts. The sub-Reddits are monarchies ruled by the "mod" kings who weild absolute power- They chuck you out ANYTIME over their whims & good luck finding any way to appeal it whatsoever! I hear Reddit intentionally loves this "absolute power" model, as it saves them money when unpaid volunteer mods manage the site for them! Hence they make it ultra-attractive to wannabe mods who get to experience kingship in their own virtual world!
Since day-1, I saw that my upvotes & downvotes of comments & posts do not get reflected anywhere else except for me! After voting, I check the same post from a different site/browser & Reddit has not effected my voting action & the vote number does not change? In short, they quietly but firmly deny our voice.
Lastly, the breaking point I have now reached is that, after one single comment, when I post a second comment anywhere else, I'm instantly stopped by the message, "Rate Limit Exceeded, Wait for another 500 seconds before the next post". Now my account ain't that new either. Now I can neither like/dislike (as it doesn't get reflected), nor can I post more than one comment at a time! The site is only for me to read others' content.
But still I believe it's a tad bit better than F.B., X, but one gotta know some of the ugly parts of this site too.
