You're fighting the good fight, @dubteedub. I don't understand how you have the patience or fortitude for it (I left reddit in disgust long ago, and I wasn't even a mod!), but I admire you all the same.
This reminds me of some multiplayer games that limit player interactions to predetermined reactions or phrases. Even with pretty severe restrictions on what you can say or do, players still find ways to use things sarcastically or maliciously. For example, I have a friend who would spam the "What a save!" built-in phrase in Rocket League every time he let a goal through. Granted, he was doing it sarcastically towards himself, but I'm sure people do the same thing towards others. Even in games with no direct communication, phrases, or emotes, "teabagging" is still a universal way of conveying contempt or disrespect.

As a mod, do you think this behavior has been getting worse in the last year or two? I've always seen comments in reddit that are in poor taste or are outright hateful. Seems like banning really nasty subreddits hasn't stopped the spread of hate on the site.
I distinctly remember that move. It was pretty telling with how many people were so deeply opposed to trying to minimize hateful speech. I really appreciate seeing when hot-button posts go Country...
I distinctly remember that move. It was pretty telling with how many people were so deeply opposed to trying to minimize hateful speech. I really appreciate seeing when hot-button posts go Country Club because there's often enlightening viewpoints in those threads. Thank you for using your platform to directly combat derogatory and hate speech! It's so important to keep fighting for an open, welcoming internet.

I agree, some of the stuff you see in r/redditmobile is really terrible.
