The America-centric monoculture.
That might become an unfortunate but inevitable result of any English-language site that’s large enough, since by the numbers Americans make up a plurality (and possibly a majority) of the English-speaking world. It might be that the only counter to that is moderation and local site culture.
Please read what @OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml is actually stating.
I can understand why it would annoy people, but it always felt like it was targeted towards Americans in the first place. Especially with Reddit being an American based company.
Holy heck, didnt realize this comment was 2 years old. Sorry for the necro!
This is what annoys me most about Lemmy. It’s way too eager to pull up old posts. I also came in here forgetting to check the timestamp.
Being one of the original commenters from way back when, I think you’ll find I’m not sorry for the necro :D
I think some people will find this contentious but I always felt that Reddit’s 6 month policy was pretty arbitrary. Humanity has had arguments that have been resolved and resurrected or existed perpetually repeatedly over millennia (religion and forms of government are perfect examples). In a way, perpetual posts are actually more beneficial because they can be reviewed and built on over time, allowing us to better approach something resembling truth publicly and for all to see. Plus, probably saves server space too if it reduces the rehashing of arguments.
Im sorry but posts like this one. Being meta all the time for no reason

- Closed source (honestly, I’d rather not know what the redesign of Reddit is made of…)
- It’s annoying, slow and tedious
- Works better in Chrome™ (I can’t even scroll down the website properly with Firefox)
- Harmful business model (Reddit Premium, Reddit Coins, pay-to-win-karma…)
- It’s a JavaScript powered website (not recommended for low-end machines)
- Communities are full of racists, homophobes, sexists, xenophobes…
- The use of sensationalist headlines is promoted to gain karma
- Is the ideal site for alt-right and conspiracy theories apologists
- Leftist/Communist/ML/MLM userbase is discriminated and censored everyday
- Reddit moderators are terrible (most of them)
- Dark patterns everywhere
- They block Tor users
- (I can think of many more but need I go on?)
O see nothing wrong with censoring and making fun of MLM content. (Multi Level Marketing)
Yeah, maybe OP has something to do with them? They teach to stay away from MLM everywhere, it’s not just reddit. And that’s positive, because it’s a scam
When there’s a subreddit about something you’re interested in, but it’s run by mods who enforce a extensive collection of esoteric posting rules.
We’re sorry, but you’ve posted about Topic C on a Wednesday, which is strictly prohibited. Discussion of Topic C is only allowed in the megathread which is only open for comments on the first Saturday of odd numbered months. Didn’t you read our rules?
