As long as mods are human volunteers, can they ever keep up with scale of reddit? I regularly see submissions (on old.reddit's /r/all) that got to 10k+ upvotes and 200+ comments in hour or two before it was taken down for breaking given subredit rules.
Yeah, look at AskHistorians. Its still pretty awesome.
Not really, if you want to ask a question. 9/10 times it gets locked for breaking some obscure rule. If anyone answers, that answer is just deleted immediately as well.
This type of subreddit specifically is almost entirely useless since the advent of AI.
It depends. I have compard some answers with my discussions with different llms and i still find the answers in the sub qualitatively better.
Every interesting question just shows a bunch of deleted comments, so I stopped looking at it a while ago.
There is another sub which tracks answered questions. Its a side effect when focussing on quality.
Site overall. Mobile app makes it easy to type a few words and hit send and hard to write well thought out posts.
When every mod does the same it becomes the whole website.
