    Don't force yourself to be verbose :) I'd advice instead to taking the time to articulate your thoughts in a way that is conducive to the thread and elaborate where neccessary, instead of forcing frills and bells where brevity would suffice.

    But I am biased in the sense that I like both novel-length replies and succinct statements, as long as they have substance.

    A lot of the users on reddit who are angry at the protest, are living under the illusion that reddit itself fosters the content and that mods are just in the way. They don't see the essential role moderators can play on quality control and curration. Reddit on its own becomes a shithole pretty quickly

    I thoroughly enjoyed switching between top, new and most controversial comments in big threads to read reactions from multiple sides.

    Theres a lot of eye opening discussions if you look for the places where people actually engage instead of echoing or voting on zingers.

    Although , some of the zingers are pretty hilarious.

    I've also definitely took my time scrolling replies pretty far down to see whether another human had come up with the same lame joke I did. Sometimes I'd just upvote and move on, but for some I will have replied "had to scroll way too far down before I found this". It is true and succinct, despite being a nonpersonal canned response, that adds little to the discourse, other than showing some appriciation toward the other commentor.
