I care more about being helpful than protesting Reddit.

Getting one’s head around the concept of instances is hard for some people who aren’t used to dealing with tech beyond the basic social platforms.
Is it one social media platform, or is it a bunch of individual ones? The fact that the answer is “it depends” is confusing. Especially when you get into defederation and cross-platform interaction.
The fact that it just takes you to an excel spreadsheet is one of the more stupid things I’ve seen.
Like, the game knows there’s an incompatible mod. You can’t just tell me which one it is?
That being said, sometimes you can just hit the x and the game will run fine.
Comments and posts that are just for entertainment, sure. But technical help isn’t a transaction between you and Reddit. It’s a friendly transaction between users purely out of the desire to help, and leaving it available to those who have the same question.
It’s like those posts asking for assistance on something extremely specific you also need help on, only for the next post to read, “never mind I figured it out” with no additional information.
Yeah, you might hurt Reddit by removing that information, but you’re also hurting everyone else that may need help in the future.
