How much garbage post you have to weed through on Reddit? Some user suggest to do a silent protest where the mods don't moderate and just remove the very bad ones. Letting the sub degrade over time. Is that a feasible action? Would that work on a small niche sub?

    We do have a very aggressive AutoMod with a lot of false positives. We're about the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, but people frequently come to ask about Tokyo Disney or Disneyland Paris or Walt Disney World.

    That's the number 1 thing AutoMod catches, but then it also catches people saying something innocent ("XYZ is better at Disneyland than WDW").

    If we turned off AutoMod, we'd quickly become a "generic Disney theme parks" subreddit. I brokered that idea to the mod team before we opened up, but they weren't completely onboard so we didn't go through with it.
