This is not a screenshot of a user’s profile; this is a screenshot of /r/Games where 95% of the subreddit is submitted by a single account, yet anything *you* try to submit will likely be removed by a mod.

r/games is a pretty high quality subreddit. Whatever they're doing, it's working

r/games is a pretty high quality subreddit.

Fucking LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[-]

semi_colon@reddit

Ok, where do you go to talk about games instead?

[-]

I'm not at all familiar with /r/games vs the alternatives- but there's absolutely no issue with a highly curated sub with a limited/single submission account as long as that's what the sub was created to be.

[-]

Die4Ever@reddit

I don't hate r/games, I'm just here because I've seen people complain about Lemmy communities where most of the posts are from a single user, and here we have the same thing on a really big Reddit sub lol

[-]

Potential-Block-6583@reddit

There's a big difference between most posts being from a single person trying to start a community on lemmy and this sort of crap.

[-]

Electronic-Phone1732@reddit

Its honestly fun to revive a dead community.

[-]

Die4Ever@reddit

Yeah I'm just having a laugh at this

[-]

NewestAccount2023@reddit

This is part of why t_d was taken off r/all, their moderators blocked every post except the ones they wanted to send to the front page.

[-]

BioshockEnthusiast@reddit

And because it was a shit hole community.

[-]

Fingerprint_Vyke@reddit

It was all bigots and hate. They organized an event on that sub that got someone killed. Should have been banned immediately but apparently their anti sematic and racist bullshit was considered 'political discourse' by reddit admins.

[-]

SmokeSmokeCough@reddit

They got someone killed? Wow never knew that

[-]

Fingerprint_Vyke@reddit

Heather Heyer

At the rally where they had tiki torches

zjz@reddit

T_D was removed for partisan bs reasons, for proof use your brain and compare their removal to the lack of action re: anti Tesla crazies.

[-]

rydan@reddit

I was sort of active there before everything went nuts and before the first election. The Reddit site was weird on mobile so I thought I was leaving a comment. I typed up this really long paragraph and clicked submit. Like an hour later I get back on my computer and see I had created a self post. It had 300+ upvotes. It was very clear at that point the subreddit was bot city because nobody should have been upvoting that.

[-]

ivanbin@reddit

Oh no! Poor t_d what a misunderstood and victimized community!

on January 17, 2017 I was extorted by a Republican city councilman of Centennial Colorado who made over 130 threats, AI posting domination of social media like this was one one of those threats, r/gaming was specifically implied during the extortion.

[-]

fox112@reddit

I'm on reddit entirely too much and subscribe to games.

I have no issue with the sub or turbostrider. The sub is about gaming news and current events so the posts getting deleted are typically posts that belong on /r/gaming.

Turbostrider just has no life which isn't a crime.

[-]

Nearsighted_Beholder@reddit

A sub with supposedly 3m users and only 3-4 content creators is extremely suspect

[-]

sad_and_stupid@reddit

I mean anyone can just make a sub

[-]

Donglemaetsro@reddit

Imagine how much money that mod makes though.

[-]

Wanderlustfull@reddit

Is there some magical way you think reddit mods get paid?

[-]

noeagle77@reddit

Uhh yeah, upvotes HELLO?!

[-]

fox112@reddit

Is there something you want to post there that you've been unable to?

[-]

Nearsighted_Beholder@reddit

I'd like to see a diversity of content from multiple people. When it's channeled through a single powermod then it probably paid shill content.

[-]

fox112@reddit

Like half his posts are youtube videos from Publishers posting trailers for games, it's not like he's advertising his website or getting ad revenue.

[-]

DegeneratesInc@reddit

Might be nice to see what kind of content others can find.

[-]

fox112@reddit

lol other people post there all the time

I love me a good conspiracy theory but there isn't one here

[-]

DegeneratesInc@reddit

They might post there... but do their posts stay up?

[-]

Positive_Plane_3372@reddit (OP)

Let’s try to use a little bit of iq. It might be tough for you, but let’s try. Why might it be bad that an individual user submits 95% of the content on a top level subreddit?

[-]

kdjfsk@reddit

There is no such thing as a "top level subreddit". That would imply there are other 'levels' of subreddits, whatever that is supposed to mean.

Anyone can make subreddits. You can use any subreddit name that isn't taken. The sub creator, and whatever mods they appoint can put any rules they want, so long as those sub rules dont break reddit wide rules. Some subs are run better than others.

[-]

Fskn@reddit

Pretty sure they mean gaming is a default sub, which it was but isn't anymore because defaults aren't a thing anymore.

[-]

semi_colon@reddit

There is no such thing as a "top level subreddit".

EddiesDirtyCouch@reddit

Honestly I didn't even realize r/games was a thing. How is it different from r/gaming? Why can't you just go there?

[-]

ANGLVD3TH@reddit

It's been a while, but games is more narrow focused and was made as a reaction to gaming to cull a lot of the content posted there. More industry news and in-depth discussion/analysis about games, less screenshots and "best year for gaming?" type of stuff.

lol

[-]

DouglasJFalcon@reddit

And people complain about multiple communities on one them on Lemmy 🙄

We don't know how good we have it there.

[-]

OsmanFetish@reddit

you create a sub, and then you mod it, that dude made that sub years ago , only wants gaming news, so what?

you can always , go to another r/?

I fail to see the issue here , it's not a monopoly of it's his sub

[-]

Studds_@reddit

That account isn’t a mod. Not directly. It may be a mod’s alt & I wouldn’t know how to verify that or not but the account itself isn’t listed as a mod

[-]

OsmanFetish@reddit

is it a bot , then?

[-]

Studds_@reddit

I didn’t look at what he was posting but he does have comment history. So, I have my doubts but I didn’t research that thoroughly. It’s probably like another user said here, he just has no life & spends too much time on Reddit

[-]

barrygateaux@reddit

They've obviously made a sub for themselves to post in. The mod removing other posts is them as well. It's not some Reddit conspiracy. Some subs are open to all, some aren't. The person starting the sub gets to decide. You can set up your own sub and do the same if you want.

[-]

Studds_@reddit

I just looked because this was my thought too. That account is not a mod. It may be an alt but the account itself isn’t a mod for that sub

[-]

Positive_Plane_3372@reddit (OP)

It’s one of the top level subs, dipshit

[-]

EddiesDirtyCouch@reddit

Hey dipshit I just went on there and yeah that dude has a lot of posts but there's a lot of posts from other people are you just salty your stupid fucking post didn't make it past the mods?

[-]

barrygateaux@reddit

even better. the big front page subs are dogshit for morons. you're not missing anything.

[-]

Positive_Plane_3372@reddit (OP)

Imagine actually defending how shitty has gotten, and then doubling down by personally attacking people who call you out? What inspires someone to these depths of pathetic Reddit white knighting?

Fucking cringe, in any case.

[-]

It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install

I use it alongside Reddit, and I'm enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over
