Eh, I don’t think reddit’s idea of “bad content” isn’t open to corruption and misuse, nor do I think a blanket “don’t upvote bad content” is going to do anything for the site except make it so people are more wary about upvoting anything that might be “bad,” like, eventually, calls for protest, calls for justice, calls for things like the rule of law to be followed for traitors.
I had a misfortune of posting this piece of news to technology community on Lemmy.world and my inbox is hammered with replies from accounts created on the same day - they do not instil me with confidence. Plenty of people brag that they got banned for calls for political assassinations.
Reddit people are too incompetent to be truly evil like Meta is. I’m sure they’re mostly concerned about remaining profitable hence some cautious moves to monetise porn subreddits over the last 2 years.
