Talking about cis-Saharan vs. trans-Saharan Africa is sure a trigger. I was even called "sis." Guess nobody on r/geography has heard of old Roman Cisalpine Gaul vs Transalpine Gaul.
Speaking of r/geography? That's the entry point.
In past blogging, I've noted how a number of moderators at places like r/academicbiblical lived up to the stereotype of Reddit moderators as Nazis.
The r/geography ones? I don't know if it's a stereotype of a second type of mods or not, but it should be, and they fit it — a stereotype of an indolent moderator.
A posting rule there, besides the Reddit main rules? "NO low-effort/incoherent posts." It's violated all the time, usually for karma farming reasons. I'll have more on that issue later.
Anyway, mods don't do anything about it. Zip, zilch, nada.
Then there's r/nba, with mods having engaged in a new round of hype about future plans, recently, all while remaining unrepentant about cheating on the Reddit blackout this summer. And, both it and r/basketball like to delete posts for no reason; it's not about "keeping our communities safe." Given the note above, with r/nba, I suspect it's moderators playing favorites on breaking news. (I had a post about the James Harden trade deleted.)
And, as I blogged a week ago, r/cardinals has started that shit too. I suspect its moderators simply playing favorites, period.
I'll tackle a bigger issue next month. Actually, two.
The stuff already is sufficing to break me of any possible addiction, which is good because I refused to give in to Hucksterman's Facebook Protect. (Update: Hucksterman has dropped the blockade on me with that again.)
