Bakit kaya puro assholes na lang naiwang mag-mod sa Philippines subreddit? I made a huge mistake trying to engage again with that conmunity. Yung isa, kailangan pang iproject ang sariling insecurities pero magpopost lang naman ng CNY celebration niya sa Chinatown.
Buti na lang hindi na ako mod. 😆
While I've never banned anyone as I'm a huge proponent of free speech/contrarian thoughts, I've made some moves that can be seen as asshole-ish. I was gung-ho in putting "Minarcos" on the banned keywords for post titles. I even wanted the "xx days bago maging 20php ang bigas" series deleted automatically, only for dub4u to oppose it (which was the right call and despite that the guy is hated big time lol).
At one point, I also kept on removing threads that are redundant. Mga daily thread types that get their own topic like I got scammed, san kukuha ng ganitong ID, my parents suck, separate articles of virtually the same breaking news, mga obvious karma farm like anong brand ng corned beef (which I believe was reposted again this week). Heck, I sometimes trust u/pobautista's judgment and take out most of what he reports... although mali rin naman karamihan, haha.
The positive side of it is that good discussions don't get buried in the third page anymore. The downside is technically what they're doing isn't against the rules so I shouldn't delete it. Wala naman sinabi na bawal mag-post ng Inquirer/GMANews/Bandera piece on someone's death just because a Rappler tweet was already posted an hour ago. I just feel like it's cluttered to have great posts on the other threads instead of just consolidating it on one for everyone to see and reply to. I hope people see the logic in that and not brand me as some kind of megalomaniacal power-tripper.
Ikaw pala taga linis dati ng basurang self posts tungkol sa mga nawawalang ID, paano pumunta sa Taft, at paano mag Google.
It's so much worse now.
Yup, it was much easier to do with third-party apps. You literally can just pop up Relay while lying in bed and just remove them. Sa dami ng natatanggal ko yung threads left are like hours apart from each other, lol.
With Reddit's app it's a bitch to do and lalo na sa desktop. I don't think a lot of people realize that lalo na it's voluntary work.
Ahh fuck, I totally forgot about that. I still use Joey for reddit now using a workaround. Malaking bagay talaga yung 3rd party apps sa mods.
Kaya pala nag nose dive na yung quality ng posts.
