Thanks Reddit. I'll continue to not provide any content since I shredded everything pre-enshitification.

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?

Your post on Reddit reads like an advertisement™️ and karma requirements have been on subs for years. It's to limit bots with zero karma that typically post spam advertisments. This is a moderator controlled function, usually.

Don't misunderstand me. I'll hate on Reddit any day of the week but my complaints need to be educated.
- Oh there are? Sorry about that then. I’ve been sleep deprived for over a month now due to things I don’t really want to talk about without being asked and don’t function properly due to that.
I mean just stop going to reddint and posting comments to these asinine questions that seem to be all over reddit lately.
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.
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
- You mean like what they are doing already? They just signed a deal with Google about this a few days ago.
  
  Oh poor bard‘s gonna be a racist imbecile MOFO
How else do you expect the moderators of that sub to keep out raiders and spam bots?
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.
I only post on r/trueanon but i think I'm shadowbanned. Shadowbanning is so insidious
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
