It’s interesting. They did say in that message that they will continue to read reddit as a source of information on what needs fixing, but they won’t be participating in replies.
I am sure that no matter what he replies to, he does get an avalanche of toxic assholes replying, and with personalized crap instead of focusing on the actual game. On the one hand, I agree that you should be able to let it slide off your back & ignore it. On the other, I’m not sure how much I’d be interested in dealing with that day after day either. Regardless, I don’t think the solution is to throw your hands up altogether and quit replying, but to come up with another solution.
Perhaps comb reddit (et al) and then after a week or two, make one post under a company account (instead of individuals) that summarizes what you’ve seen are the problems, what you think good ideas are, what solutions you plan to implement. Don’t reply to individual comments, and let the discourse continue without the potential for individualized abuse. There’s gotta be a middle ground.
