    While i agree r/science was terrible at this, it at least kept the conversation relevant. On new discoveries its nice to read about the science rather than: “here comes the end” or some fart joke.

    Id like to think this meme is directed towards user exodus rather than moderation to keep things on topic. I hope that the fediverse keeps things on topic and doesn’t complain too much about moderation when it’s necessary.

      If Reddit moderators only removed content for the sake of keeping things on topic, people wouldn’t hate the place so much. There’s a reason the mods over there are so universally maligned, and it’s not because they’re beacons of rationality and objective reasoning.

        The best part is if you got notified a comment was removed you couldn’t see what the comment was and they wouldn’t tell you what rule it broke most of the time. If you asked they’d blow you off.
