Hard truth? Reddit conditioned me to NOT participate.

Nearly time I wanted to discuss something or ask something important to me, my posts were deleted by mods. The few times posts would stay was because they were meme shitposts of easily digestible image content: scroll and move along. Any actual discussion was verboten.

/r/mk mods were particularly awful. Fuck those guys.

The thing you must understand about /r/mk is that it was largely sheperded by a man who was driven from the other major mechanical keyboard forums for being too much of a self-promoter. It's possible the entire organization still has residual brittle-ego.

If you want proper keyboard discussion, do check Deskthority; the content is a lot richer than "here's a photo of my board which is just a Taco Bell permutation of the current popular PCB/case/caps/switches"
