There’s less Reddit meta content on Reddit, why did I come here?

    It’s one misguided poster spamming the shit out of a bunch of instances, but this post itself seems to imply a more widespread problem.

    What are you trying to achieve with this post? Would you like to spark conversation about this particular person’s crusade ? Or are you the umpteenth poster this month complaining about content referencing Reddit?

    Honestly, the bitching about the bitching about Reddit is becoming pretty fucking tiresome, imho. Why are we talking about this? Why did you make this post? Why not just downvote that asshat’s content and move on? It doesn’t contribute, you allegedly don’t care, why post to complain about complaints?

      I get it - complaints about complaints, the ‘Inception’ of discourse, right? 😄 My aim was less ‘moan-fest’, more ‘awareness-raising’. But I see how it could have come off as one more tiresome rant. Point taken.

      Downvoting? Sure, it’s a tool, but it feels like trying to empty an ocean with a bucket. As a community, can’t we aim higher? Maybe introduce more efficient levers? Let’s not just ‘downvote and move on’, let’s ‘upvote and move up’. Let’s brainstorm and pull this platform to greater heights.

        Just block the account that made the posts. It’s a single account so it takes 5 seconds to get rid of it all. It’s what I did.

        Not to mention, as long as the post in question is in a relevant community, downvoting it out of annoyance feels weird to me. That is not what the buttons are for. I’ve seen several posts I didn’t personally like, but not wanting to see them doesn’t make them worthless to anyone else and all those are communities are for generalized topics.

        Guy just needs to get it into his head how far-reaching federation is and maybe go for a run or something

      Op isn’t trying to accomplish anything other than complaining. Trying to climb the ladder in our modern day social media culture of outrage 🙄
