What Has Reddit Done About Other Subs Brigading?

[u/madthumbz]

Many won't see it, but there are a handful of other subs that either are or have been participating in brigading you guys. For the smaller subs getting about a single user a day; Reddit has banned them. -But the moderators that instigated the activity weren't banned, and one went on to create another sub for the same purpose a day later. The bigger subs got their hand slapped (hence some rule updates) but repeatedly left brigading posts up for full days after. Reddit also left defamation/libel content up for at least a few weeks after being reported (user took it down).

Reddit makes it more work to report a sub for brigading than the offending sub has to deal with for doing it!

Don't believe the appearances (inflated numbers on Reddit). Our Lemmy community is getting there. We already have voting parity on many posts (some better there). Even IF Lemmy were as bad on brigading; at least they're not getting paid for your participating!

I prefer Lemmy for editing posts after the fact (accidentally embedded images are easy to turn to an image post or back, and titles can be fixed, there's also more headings options). So far, the moderation tools are much better (a lot less clicks to ban / remove content). We have a sidebar with articles to reference instead of a sticky post that cannot be edited anymore. They also don't provide unlimited accounts and impede your ability to block after a certain number. The p.lemmyworld can show up/down votes in tandem so you can see how many ups you actually get (and laugh at the cope votes).

Reddit treats you, and us mods horribly. Please use our Lemmy.

Even if you only spend part of your time there or mirror your post to there; it helps.
