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.

Someone driving a car the day before getting their first license could be a better driver than some people who've had theirs for years! Lol
