Subreddits with strict rules were the best. Tight posting and commenting guidelines allowed them to avoid the homogenization that took over every major sub.
Not saying it's the case. But the amount of tourists making posts in the subreddit asking for sites to go sightseeing in my country is astronomical. It gets old fast.
But it's still intriguing that some of those posts get lots of responses while others not even one response. Still trying to figure why this happens.

Then pin a post at the top "things to do, see, and hear in X country" and bam, problem solved?
Well jumping ship 6 months ago seems to have been the right move. Sure my posts here don't get nearly the same traction, but people are still seeing them and that's good enough for me. I never was a karma chaser so who cares?
This is what r/science looked like, except all posts were [removed] instead of [deleted].
The difference is important, because [deleted] means the individual user removed their own comment. [removed] means the comment was deleted by a moderator.

Those rules are never applied consistently.
They exist as cover to remove the things the community owners don't want to see.

Recently I tried to get some advice from some locals and posted in a larger subreddit.
Post got immediately removed because it's a duplicate of a year old post which is only remotely related.
That place can be so stupid.

My question us where everyone went. They don't seem to have joined the Fediverse.
Eiri@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 345d
TikTok? YouTube? Blue Sky?
globuli@lemmynsfw.com · 2 pts · 343d
there are many more forums on the internet on the fediverse. They could also just have joined facebook.

"[deleted]" means a user removed it. It's probably users who nuked their accounts (I'm one of them!)

Dictatorship. Voting is democracy, and they don’t want you to have it.

This seems as problematic, since reddit will not exist as a place for organic conversation like this any longer but an over-moderated place.
