This just makes me angry. You need to write comments and get likes before you’re able to make posts. Most of the posts in that community could pass as boomer-Facebook-posts from what I’ve seen. The quality definitely went more downhill than Tony Hawk‘s Downhill Jam.

But I’ll post my question here: what’s your pre-apocalypse game gems?

    That doesn’t sound like a Reddit problem. It’s a rule set up by the mods of the sub. And imo, not a bad rule for such a large sub

    And I’m not defending Reddit, which I’ve stopped using when the API changes happened, after using it for maybe a decade. Just pointing the blame in the right direction.

      But doesn’t this imply that Reddit itself would have to do something to prevent spamming those subreddits full of slurry?

        I don’t think so, no. Sure, Reddit made these controls available to mods, but the mods can decide to use them as they see fit.

        Frankly, I don’t think it’s a bad rule. For a sub that big, they need pretty strict controls before a new user can post. Otherwise, they’d get flooded with spam.

          If I sort by new, 2 of 3 most current posts are definitely below the quality of my post.

          This might be due to me being drunk AF right now but I think my reading still works

            Yeah, which means that you’d be able to build up the karma you need quickly.

    I browse Reddit occasionally without logging in (I also shredded my account after the API changes) and I see many posts that make me worried about the sort of data LLMs will collect once Reddit management allows that

    I’m gonna go with one from 2012 itself and say Torchlight II. I just don’t understand why other ARPGs aren’t copying the “pet to town” system so I can stay in the zone rather than spending forever sorting my inventory. It’s not perfect but imo it’s still the best that genre’s ever seen.

    Reddit massively over uses automod and creates absurd rules. Way too many default subs are essentially impossible to post in because of karma, verified email, account age, other subs you posted in, it’s not the fun day of the week, everything belongs in the mega thread, or the mods just steal your posts.

      Thank you. My old account had a lot of karma in all the subs I was active; but the APIcalypse made me create new accounts for following interesting stuff and when I made a post I found out that this was in place
