Somehow the active mods of r/programming are keeping it closed despite the top 2 mods being spez and another site admin. Annoying for me, since I'm trying to track down a few comments that might be saved to my Reddit account instead of bookmarks.
That sub is full of commie faggot retards.
Sometimes you can find something useful in a morass of utter garbage. The key is to only visit when you really need something you can't find anywhere else.
Always the disproportionately vocal cancerous lesions of online communities. Even before the mod boycott, I've preferred that subreddits go read-only to keep content (when it qualifies as such) easy to find, not risk admin-purging, and sectioning off the late-comer horde from degrading any residual standards.
I've been irritated that the only sizable center-right tech communities I've found are the *chans, which are almost too much chat-room for my forum.
I have at least 50% of useful comments bookmarked instead of account-saved. I had redditmanager.com attached to my account ages ago for account-saved posts/comments, forgot about it before exporting, then saw it after the blackout. I can't easily verify that one comment I'm looking for (some guy's unique Emacs + Rust setup and workflow) wasn't lost in the blackout.
Edit: Not in r/programming
