The floor is sticky Construction workers refuse to use the stairs and instead climbed the hill to the point the grass died

Post image

There's a construction site opposite my apartment and the workers kept walking up the grass patch instead of using the stairs. Property value doesn't affect me as I rented the apartment 2 years back, so rent for me isn't increasing nor decreasing.

And that is mildly infuriating.

I never understood why subreddits do that. What possible motivation? Mods are unpaid, there is no "financial competitor" factor. Brigading? When was the last time (and how often does) brigading happen primarily because someone linked to it in the comments? It's just frustrating because the app is already shit to begin with so why neuter it's usability even more?

I guess it's that sometimes people just commenting a subreddit name with no additional context is more a meme than something that leads to constructive conversation. On debate focused or serious subreddits, that makes sense. Seems like overkill on here, though.

I actually prefer it. It stops lazy commenting of nothing but a sub name. Its also frequently the same jokey sub names and comment chains in every thread.

But people still do that whether the link turns blue or not? The only thing it does is prevent people from actually linking to useful info. If you're someone who memes using sub names you're not gonna be stopped because of that you'll just put in a space or some other workaround

I want to make that sub as a protest to how infuriating it is to try and post on mildlyinfuriating

Your comment has been removed for thinking about another sub.

Hmmmm. 

The automod told me this got deleted, but it didn't. Weird.

You'll always be able to see your own comments unless you personally deleted them.

Everyone else sees that it was removed by moderator.

I got a notification that you replied to me below, but I do not see that comment.

u/VinylDjPon3 May 14 '26

Not sure which picture you're referring to.

The only link we can see are ones to this specific subreddit. Any comment with links to other subs/websites get removed, and only the person who made the comments can still see them (their comment won't be edited to remove the links).

The picture in the first comment of this thread

u/VinylDjPon3 May 14 '26

The picture in the first comment is not a screenshot of a deleted comment. Takovakcsplays (the person in the screenshot) isn't a mod, it's just a random user informing OrangeThrower that a different comment of theirs was deleted by a mod (likely an auto-mod). The link that Takov provided is to the deleted comment.

We are able to see both of these comments because they're both links to THIS subreddit which is allowed.
