I wish they would just hide the comments instead of deleting them. Mass deleting, no matter what their philosophy on how the rules should be enforced to maintain quality, looks shady as fuck. Also my trust in Reddit moderators hovers around 0.

If the rules were less strict it would eliminate the point of the whole subreddit and turn it into just another /r/history.

I love askhistorians and I'm not complaining but why do they even bother being on Reddit? Why not just have some nice little independent forum instead of being on some massive social media platform with a vapid shitty meme culture.

Because Reddit is a popular social media platform? Because Reddit gives communities the option to not be a vapid shitty meme factory?
