We saw a decrease in users when there were mass downvotes, we changed how downvotes worked and since then we’ve seen and increase in activity.

We’re talking about implementing automod features, not sure how soon that’ll happen, but it will definitely happen.

Another thing that disincentives some people is the lack of filtering of rude comments, if a comment is rude or downvoted on reddit it is automatically hidden, so maybe that is something we can look into for when we implement automod

Just know that we’re not just sitting on our laurels doing nothing, the mods and admins are constantly talking about how to improve this community
