      A friend of mine was talking about how they had blatant homophobia sent their way on an LGBT subreddit, which was upvoted. Went to check r/ApolloApp and someone critical of the dev (because he was selling merch) was being blatantly and casually homophobic with similar upvote behaviour.

      I’m not an easily offended guy but, honestly, I’m glad I left that shithole.

          Yeah new moderation didn’t stand a chance because the good mod tools were all 3rd party.

          Yeah. I read an article (also on Ars Technica funnily enough) about how some moderators aren’t equipped to deal with things. I believe they singled out r/canning because of the potential for food poisoning, but r/ender3 had a sympathetic “mod” who only joined that subreddit as a moderator just to fuck with Reddit corporate when they were replacing the mods.

          Reddit, predictably, did not respond, so whoever wrote that article did their job right.

        Had a brief look at r/WorldNews yesterday. Every comment was blatantly disgusting Islamaphobia that I couldn’t believe hadn’t been deleted yet. I don’t ever remember it being that bad over there
