If I wanted to subject myself to repeated brute-force political messaging, I’d watch cable news.

    That would depend on users following the tagging system. If Imgur is any indication, political posters will purposely not do that, because they think it’s their god-given mission to “spread awareness.”

      Idk bout imgur, but Reddit’s automod can be set to auto-remove untagged posts or human mods just remove them quickly since it’s a no brainer if it’s not tagged or tagged improperly

      You’re so right, and they are utterly self-defeating. By attempting to force people to engage, they’re having the opposite effect. People are disengaging instead, and I don’t blame them. We need our spaces for silly humor.

      Not if we had a system in place for users having the ability to submit tags and the mods to implement those tags.
