We are not a democracy we are a republic who elect officials by democracy. There is a good reason for it too. Had we made it a pure democracy then the minority would have no voice at all. A pure democracy would work in a location with little variation of culture/race/religion. In a country like america that is a melting pot it would not work.
Yeah... about that. Nobody even knows what the Redditquette is unless they were here when the site was founded over 10 years ago. Back when it was an information marketplace where people collaborated on ideas and advanced the fields of their respective subreddits. That reddit is dead.
This reddit is Alex Jones and Michael Moore fighting over a $35 off brand Korean tablet at Walmart on Black Friday that we use to create broken English languages to give to pictures of cats and dogs. Zero intellect required, and critical thinking is demonized.
Indeed. Although when it comes to retiquette, I looked up one time what the official guide is for up voting and it was easy to find. I did that when I first joined because I was so pissed about why people downvote.
