For what? To engage in the community as a whole and to encourage others to as well, or to get your community noticed by people browsing the different filters (new, hot, active, top…)

For why I’d want to post? It would depend on what I’m posting. For example, if it was a meme I thought was funny and it got a lot of upvotes, I’d feel good knowing that other people found it funny, too

If I post looking for a conversation about a topic or at an answer to a question, I’d be excited for some upvotes but a little let down if no one actually responded

Also there’s no incentive to be a karma whore on reddit either… well except their harebrained idea to monetize whatever new award system is coming

That’s just stupid. I never have my taskbar anywhere else because it makes me ill. But fuck that, you can’t tell me where to put it…

Oh that’s sketchy AF. Can you share a screenshot? Not that I disbelieve you, but I’d love to see proof of reddit’s fuckery with not actually removing content

I haven’t yet overwritten/deleted my comments because I haven’t been back since the initial blackout so I can’t verify it myself

Your edits won’t show up on Google for a long time (not sure how often it refreshes) but clicking through should show you your now edited/deleted comment
