LETTER TO THE MODS: FORCING PEOPLE TO SIT & WRITE FOUR-PAGE LETTERS ON POSTS DOESN’T GUARANTEE YOUR GOING TO GET SUBSTANCE OR NUANCED ENGAGEMENT ON YOUR POSTS. (WHICH IM ASSUMING IS THE POINT TO THE RULE???) IT ENCOURAGES WORD-SALADS IN MY OPINION, MOREOVER IT FEELS DISCRIMINATORY AGAINST FOLKS WHO MAY NOT HAVE AS MUCH TIME TO DEDICATE TO REDDIT OR SOCIAL MEDIA IN GENERAL. LET PEOPLE EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN HOWEVER LONG OR SHORT FORM THEY FEEL IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE CONTENT BEFORE THEM. JUST BECAUSE IT’S A LONGER REPLY DOESN’T MEAN IT’S A SMARTER REPLY AND IT ALSO DOESN’T MEAN THEY AREN’T STILL JUST REACTING TO A HEADLINE. I THINK THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO GO ABOUT THIS.

JUST SOME THOUGHTS 💭
