Sure, but it offers at least some protection.

By low karma I mean -100 types.

The traffic on Reddit is massive for highly populated subreddits. And these subreddits that restrict low karma account activities aren’t doing it for any profit motive.

I understand Lemmy isn’t really big enough for this to be a concern here.

Unfortunately, on reddit - when subreddits restrict new posters or low karma commenters, they’re just trying to mitigate the impact of trolls and bots and people making new accounts. It’s not about being elitist.

Yeah, I often just forget to upvote generally. Although this could lead to argumentative posters making troll posts, getting engagement and trending just because people reply to them.

This may not be an inherently bad thing given that low karma accounts tend to be trolls.

Yeah, I made television because I didn’t think showsandmovies mod team was active. I was then headhunted to help out there. I don’t know where television stands now though even if I think it has the best name for… well, tv-posting. Whilst I agree with “showsandmovies” is an odd name as its been repurposed for TV primarily… but it seems to be the most popular and developed.

But whilst you can obviously overlap to some degree, movies and tv are just as commonly separate communities so from 4 you can get at least 2.

!trailers should be, imo, on the sidebar of showsandmovies.
