Yeah I posted this 2 years ago. The way "Active" sorting works in Lemmy, is you see the posts with recent comments. Someone commented on this, pushing it back to the front page.
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.
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!
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.
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?
also, you need 1 million karma to post and your account must be 100 years old. oh and you're shadowbanned in that sub, so nobody can see your posts, because a mod once read an unrelated comment you wrote in a different sub and didn't like it.
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
The trashy Western edgy kid culture that breeds enough racism and discrimination to make Hitler blush. Some subreddits are a mini version of Kiwifarms, like r/FemaleDatingStrategy, a flip coin version of MGTOW.
