I used to love Reddit. Back in the day, it was awesome, you had customizable commands for niche communities and you had enough control over the feed so as to not see bs all the time. My only prior experiences with social media had been Facebook and Twitter so the bar was really low, yet I loved it. Now it’s just a horrible site to navigate. I have like 3 communities that make up 80% of my main feeds and for the life of me I can’t seem to find a single human. Like all accounts are generic names with the same pattern: quirky writing style, posts and comments like crazy in maybe 3 communities, and is like less than 4 years old. Why? Why does this make sense to them? Who are they serving ads to?

I frequently point out typos, usually in a humorous manner, and am met with an overwhelmingly positive response.
There are a few assholes around, but by and large I’ve found the majority of people here are acting in good faith.
It depends entirely on how you do it. If you’re just being a dick about it and it had no effect on the thing they were saying and you simply do the

you’ll probably get downvoted. If you’re nice about it people are usually appreciative of it.
