What’s sad is that back in the old days of Reddit, Reddiquette was actually a thing and people followed that rule more. In recent years, though, it feels like Reddiquette is completely dead.

Post any kind of dissenting opinion and you’ll get downvoted into absolute oblivion. And I’m not just speaking about politics. You can write a well thought out comment in any sub that goes against the grain, and the culture is just totally to downvote for disagreement. I think my most downvoted comment of all time on Reddit was on r/juicing when I questioned whether carrot juice was actually effective for depression lol.

Wow, I honestly didn’t even know it was still around! Maybe I’ll poke my head back in. I used to play Eve back when SA had a big presence on there. It has been over a decade.

Wikipedia is another example. One of the most heavily visited websites, operated as a nonprofit. Obviously they don’t only rely on donations from visitors, as they have a whole foundation. But they are a great example IMO.

Oh no worries at all, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t confusing myself. Thanks!

This is so confusing to me. This post was from asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Why is there a warning about feddit.it?

I really hope that Reddit never becomes profitable despite all of their best efforts–at least as long as Steve is running it. He is so unprofessional and does not deserve to cash in. I hope he loses money slowly but surely due to his incompetent decisions, just as Lowtax did at SomethingAwful.
