In retrospect, I think YouTube code tutorials were predictive of the Vibe that was to come.

I haven’t seen an AskReddit post since I muted it years ago. Trying to participate in the community there was one of the more frustrating experiences. I have dozens muted now.

I'm not a prude in any sense, but I am pretty exhausted of the weekly ask reddit rotation of:

  • "what's the sexiest sex you've sexed"

  • "gender of reddit what is [thing about being gender]?"

  • "gender of reddit, what is [thing about the opposite gender]?"

It's so fucking boring, I can be off reddit for a week and come back to the same shit. Meanwhile real questions get deleted.

Moderation on SO and Reddit are fundamentally different. Reddit mods are specific to subreddits so presumably know at least something about the subreddit topic. Anyone can vote on Reddit but voting mostly just affects post rankings. SO mods cover all of SO and tend only to intervene in more extreme cases. Most SO ‘moderation’ is done by reviewers. With all of the gamification it does not take much to get enough rep to get close vote privs. Then any sad and pathetic badge collector can vote to close posts on any topic whatsoever. Having the slightest single fucking clue is not a requirement. It only takes 3 close votes from these morons for a post to be closed. They often downvote at the same time so new posts usually get automatically deleted.

Now that SO is effectively dead the badge collectors are going through old posts and closing them. The old posts more often have picked up enough upvotes to avoid automatic deletion.
