      What’s not perfectly understandable is why they allow BS subs like FreeKarma4U that defeat the entire point of this system.

      Nope. It only happens when you have negative karma. That means any opinion contrary to the group think will be silenced.

    Well it’s not that bad, tho why? why would this be restricted?

    Is it to reduce spam with “low” quality content which doesn’t make people stay longer?

      Whenever a spammer or spam bot is identified through reporting and gets banned, the spammer just makes a new account and continues. As a result spam accounts tend to be “young” accounts with low karma.

      But limiting the posting and commenting powers of all young accounts and accounts with low karma, they limit how quickly someone can spam Reddit. There’s also less obvious limits to like limiting activities from the same ip addresses. (To prevent working around the limits by simply creating 100s of accounts at a time)

    I really don’t get the point of coming to Lemmy to bitch about reddit, especially something most people who left reddit already know.

    Why are you making new reddit accounts?

      This is a community about Reddit. If you don’t want to see people bitching about Reddit, I would suggest you unsubscribe and block it.

        Exactly. It’s easy to block instances and communities here. One of the things I like about Lemmy.

        Because sometimes there’s actual news here…

        Not just someone complaining about how the new account they just made for reddit is limited. Especially when it’s something that’s been around for like a decade.

        Really not sure what’s confusing about that

          Complaining is pointless. Unless the mods make a new community about reddit discussion and a separate one for news, with both heavily moderated to focus the content, then you won’t get only what you want to see.

          Like everybody else said, it’s a community about Reddit, not Reddit news, anything about Reddit goes, even if it’s sentimental bitching

      You are in a “bitch about reddit” community complaining about people bitching about reddit. Bruh, this is why this place was created, to bitch about reddit.

      Your second point is valid, also this feature is to prevent spam from newly created accounts so why is this worthy to even complain about? New accounts shouldn’t be trusted as much as well established accounts, and it’s generally not that difficult to get enough karma just by commenting. For humans it does not pose that big of a barrier to entry, for bots it poses some.
