/r/thenetherlands is a joke. So many comments are being removed in order to "maintain community standards".
I once posted a genuine question there: "Do you think /r/thenetherlands is an echo chamber?"

Oh well. Now I just don't use reddit anymore. My life is better because of it.
- johnnywasagood 5y agoIt is funny to read this because of so many redditors will comment on every facebook related post how good their life become after ditching that social network. And they are immediately forgetting about other social network (reddit) they currently use.
- hajile 5y agoReddit seems more like an antisocial network.
- johnnywasagood 5y agoI would say it more like site that has some sort of glare of anonymity. That sort of anonymity ables person to be a bit of antisocial (e.g. not everyone would be happy to connect their real life identity to reddit account) but still it is social network.
- jobigoud 5y agoBut there is no network of users on reddit, HN or other similar forums.
- apexalpha 5y agoI actually like /r/thenetherlands. You're question does seem too meta and pointless. It's just a sub about Dutch news and stuff.
- input_sh 5y agoYeah but everyone thinks their case is special because of X, then spew at the very least 2-3 messages in your inbox, debate whether they've actually broken the rule you wrote or not, and just generally waste your time. Speaking as someone who used to be the main moderator for a country sub (albeit a smaller one), at a certain point you just go numb and stop justifying your actions (you still communicate it with other mods and they see your ban reason, not visible to the user). That being said, I did enforce one or two temporary bans before handing out permanent ones.
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoI've yet to come across a location sub that isn't like that.
