For the last couple years I spent on reddit, up until I joined the API-driven Exodus, I was trying to change my approach to commenting in the niche hobby subs I was there for. Instead of sharing my own thoughts, I started just trying to connect people to primary sources. I figured even if I was right, leaning on my own authority gave me no more weight than the people who were chiming in with wrong answers. So if I could link them to more vetted sources, I wouldn’t have to ask them to trust a random, anonymous internet stranger.
M glad I did for different reasons now. The last several years of my reddit comments doesn’t give them too much more than any person with halfway decent Google skills could find.
