    When sharing content, please provide the context too. Like, what does “No more from Reddit.” refer to? Does it mean that the site won’t publish anything Reddit-related, that someone with an account called “Reddit” deleted it from the site, or what?

    From the partially cropped text at the top, it seems that this is from Game Rant, right? I gave it a search for the keyword “reddit”, and the only two relevant/on-topic tidbits were:

      Wow, you are the correct person to be a moderater, and I hope your patience holds out. OP has provided an incomprehensible picture with a nonsensical headline, and your response is so very polite. Me, I’d just roll my eyes and scroll away.

      I’m from Reddit, so I have to add: I’m serious, not joking.

      You’re looking for complexity where there is none. It’s Chrome.

        Frankly, this does not contribute with any sort of discussion about Reddit’s downfall, it does not document some noteworthy event about Reddit’s downfall, and it does a damn shitty job promoting Reddit’s downfall. It would be different if it was a post encouraging people to block Reddit from their news feed, or if it was some piece of news like “people are blocking Reddit from their news feeds”. And there’s also the context issue that I mentioned - it’s hard to know what you’re even trying to highlight here.

        I’ll still let the post on in the hopes that it spark some discussion, but next time: 1) provide context, and 2) keep it more relevant. OK?

        For reference, your other post (the “talk to me like you’re a fucking idiot”) was way more relevant than this one.

          If you think removing news from a feed from them doesn’t fit here then I’m not sure what the point of any post here is tbh.

            A meaningfully large amount of users removing Reddit news from a feed would fit here. Because it documents Reddit’s downfall.

            A post encouraging people to remove Reddit news from their feeds would also fit here. Because it promotes Reddit’s downfall.

            However, a poorly contextualised post showing that exactly one (1) user decided to remove Reddit news? It does not fit here. Because it is completely irrelevant in the big picture: it does not document Reddit’s downfall, it does not further discussion about Reddit’s downfall, and it does not promote Reddit’s downfall.

            Is this clear?

            Note: consider this as an official warning. Refer to rule #2 (keep it on-topic) and rule #4 (don’t be stupid, noisy, obnoxious or obtuse - you’re being specially obtuse).

                Your post clearly does not encourage people to do so.
