This one I’m not such a fan of. The number of times I’ve found an interesting bulletin board community, and been told I had to wait 48 hours before I could comment once on the introductions board, before waiting another 24 hours to comment once per day on another small set of allowed forums, but only if my introductory comment was approved by the moderation team….
Yeah, the alternative is a bot and troll riddled mess of a site like reddit, but at least I can usually ask for the source of that furry scat porn without being instantly banned for speaking out of turn to the ruling elite of the forum.
That’s exactly what happens in reddit though? If you have too many users and too few admins you have things like karma minimums and bot mods, I haven’t had any trouble commenting as a new user on discourse, so I find your experience a bit weird.
