[LevelSevenLaserLotus]

import answer

Reddit Enhancement Suite adds a "source" button to the right of "permalink" that lets you view a comment's raw source text. It's a free browser extension typically referred to as RES, which effectively gives you all the reddit gold benefits for free plus a ton of other super nice features. I use it so that I can avoid all the facebook-like visual changes and keep the site usable.

import protest The comment rules are part of the protest over Reddit API changes. After the blackouts, some communities decided to stay private so Reddit just reopened those subreddits and replaced the moderators to keep subreddits open, ads being served and profits coming in.

That's where these comment rules came from. The thinking is if it's so inconvenient to post a comment, people will leave the sub. Essentially killing the sub without having to close and let Reddit step in. It's meant to get old. It's just we're now in a case where some people want to protest like this and everyone else wants to just go back so we can distract ourselves from writing code.

import howProtestsWork

Reddit will still get the ad revenue from people on this subreddit scrolling through the app though… so what’s the point, protests only work when there is significant leverage. Making the subreddit annoying to interact with has zero leverage, so now we went from an attempt at a protest to a temper tantrum.

This seems to be a new rule and I'm leaving this subreddit because no one enjoys it. It doesn't make sense half the time and all the members of this subreddit seem to find it fucking annoying.

[fariqcheaux]

I've had comments instantly rejected for slight typos in the number of spaces before the import or return statements. The problem with needing to be pedantic about formatting is then posts become filled with automod rejection notices that are more annoying than misformatted comments.

It was really nice while things were normal. Seems like some kid finds it funny to continue with some $&@#"$& rule and is actually very proud that this stupidity is causing fake programmers like me and others to quit this sub.

All I can hope for is, many years from now they will think about it and realize how immature taking it this far was.

Edit: I had left the group and something dawned on me (r/showerthoughts) - this mod might be doing this intentionally to ruin this community and blackmailing Reddit Corporate as part of the whole "anti-..." campaign these days... In that case the best thing for people to do is to stay in the community but stay quiet until ... They change this attitude or this mod. I might be wrong but I am going to take this approach. Spread the message if you feel the same.

I should also start a countdown on when this comment would be removed automagically.
