New intro, please

Could someone please rewrite what this is, in the first sentences. I have worked in computers for years, and used them for decades, and I don't even know what is being said, much less basic computer users.... Misty MH (talk) 09:30, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

r/Chonglangtv

I cleaned up the section on the removal of r/chonglangtv however I want to propose its removal, it only has one source and genreally doesnt seem to be all that relevant, in addition it doesnt seem to be much of a controversy, if no one has any objections ill go ahead and remove the section.

Reddit page is missing it’s political lean.

Reddit is a strongly liberal site. Page should be updated to reflect the lean of the site admins.

Disclaimer required that it’s not publicly admited. Redwikiwombat (talk) 01:32, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable source noting this, otherwise your perspective isn't enough (and OMG you probably are only seeing a tiny bit of Reddit). --ZimZalaBim ^talk 01:54, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What about the collectionable avatars?

Collectible avatars are NFTs, but in the form of a Reddit avatar. A lot of Reddit users didn't like this, so it could count as a controversy.

UPDATE: about the collectionable avatars

I haven't seen that there was already information on them on this wiki page, so ignore everything I wrote up there.

Is the word groomer actually banned on reddit?

The source article was removed and I see a lot of usage of the word on non-banned accounts. Here's an example of someone testing it: https://www.reddit.com/r/WEARESC_OT/comments/w25iem/is_the_word_groomer_banned_on_reddit/ . How else can we verify if this is correct or not?

Academic publishing is a leap to far

"Data from Reddit can also be used to assess academic publications."

I think this is too broad a statement. Is this suggesting that Reddit can be used to replace peer review, (because that is quite a leap and I doubt it applies to many sections of science especially medicine)? It needs to be expanded into more detail or removed.

Sinophobia

Reddit is a sinophobic, racist hate site and this should be documented clearly on Wikipedia rather than censored like it is on Reddit. 97.90.41.3 (talk) 14:10, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think you mean "xenophobic" and if you have links to reputable sources that fit Wikipedia's policies, feel free to provide them. ASpacemanFalls (talk) 16:43, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Replace "Nathan Allen"

Hi. My suggestion is to replace "Nathan Allen" in: "Nathan Allen speaks about the r/science community to the American Chemical Society" My suggestion is to replace it with "A forum moderator". The person is not notable, also not in this context; it's a forum moderator. Whose name happens to be Nathan Allen, yes, but the video itself already shows this information. For me personally, at least, the name added nothing. It just made me wonder if Nathan Allen is a famous person that I should know; and he's not. --2001:1C06:19C9:400:B2FF:CA0D:C1C3:53CB (talk) 19:48, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
