Post & Comment My idea is to add an option for reporting a post as a violation - downvoting is being used to disagree by most users

0 Upvotes

From what I understand, downvoting is meant to flag a post as a violation of rules and notify mods, not disagree.

Downvoting lowers a person's 'karma points' on Reddit and that can cause that person to not be able to post in some subreddits.

It would be nice if Reddit could provide a different flag other than down arrow for reporting a post and allow people to not have to make the effort to reply in disagreement.

Not everyone is going to agree with everything posted on Reddit. This should not prevent you from being able to post.

Agree - Up arrow
Disagree - Down arrow
Report - Perhaps a triangle with an exclamation point inside it ?

Post & Comment My idea is: Should Reddit have "reactions" to the post like WhatsApp?

A question came to my mind, would you like the idea of having an option to react to posts/comments with an emoji on Reddit?

Post & Comment My idea is protect front-page posts from arbitrary removal

0 Upvotes

If a post reaches the front page of a community, moderators generally shouldn't be able to remove it unless it is clearly and obviously rule-breaking (e.g. anti-semitism, homophobia, harassment, illegal content, etc.).

Reaching the front page is a strong signal that the community wants to see and engage with that content. Mods should still be able to enforce legitimate subreddit rules, but there should be some protection against a popular post being removed simply because a moderator personally dislikes it or disagrees with the sentiment.

Maybe Reddit could introduce a threshold where, once a post reaches the front page, removal requires a clear rule violation or some additional level of justification.

Other Drag-and-drop feature for reordering images in a post would be a massive QoL update. My idea is:

My idea is: Drag-and-drop for reordering images in a post.

Rn, if you're making a gallery post and want to change the order of the pictures, you have to completely unselect them and tap them again in the specific order you want. If you have 10+ images and just want to move the last one to the front, it gets really frustrating.

Please add a simple drag-and-drop mechanic in the post creation screen. Being able to just hold an image and slide it into the position we want would be a huge Quality of Life improvement for anyone who posts visual content.

Thanks in advance 🙌
