It just baffles my mind of how some of these places are ran by the mod teams. If it wasn’t for the masses of people that still flock to them I would’ve given up a long time ago (now only check like once every two weeks), but by the evidence they (the users) just aren’t getting the help they need.

If it makes you feel any better, whoever did that also isn’t a plumber. (511 points)
That’s a bong. Sewer gas bong, specifically. Nice humblebrag.Having one in your home all built in like that, la de da, isn’t this a fancy one… (330 points)
Like 10 mods, and they don’t auto-block “new” people from posting (the post had 103 comments when it was locked). Easy to tell this wasn’t spam and it was a legitimate person looking for advice.
They suggest logging into your “main” account. As if people want to post identifying pictures of their house under an account which might have lots of references for identification. I just wish they knew how much easier it would be to make a lemmy account instead of jumping through Reddit’s hoops, could have a very robust community of tradesmen on here that would attract more people looking for advice.
There is no recourse for badly run subreddits or shitty mods in reddit. Pretty much the only way to get them to take any action is to sic the press on them. Other than that the free labor mods provide reddit means they can abuse their roles to their heart’s content.
