Ngl tho askhistorians jannies are kind of based. Wingcucked "internet connoisseurs of history" get zapped out pretty quickly and it's probably the only decent knowledge reddit sub.
And it's not like history grads can get a paid job anyways, so being a jannie is probably the closest to a real job they can get
Yeah if you spend more than three minutes in that sub, you realize how many reddit posts are "in my expert opinion, my cousin's dad's YouTube channel told me that Hitler invented the lightbulb"
Yep, it really is cool to see a place where they'd rather nuke a whole thread than let mongoloid Redditors bullshit "my mom's boyfriends wife's son told me a Tiger tank fought up 6 gazillion Shermans" stories. The only people who dislike that sub are seething wingoids that don't like reading shit they disagree with š¤
Still a good starting point and it's not like redditors would actually read anything more complicated. Imagine going really in depth in your aspie PhD super niche field of expertise only to get comments like: "Huh wow this sure is a big essay but can anyone TLDR or ELI5? Im kind of slow in the head and high rn and don't understand anything if you dont spoonfeed it to me teeheee but like history is totally awesome bro"
Btw wow lmao @ the no life jannie who added the new r slur automod, holy shit what a f slur

There is no content in ask historians, it's completely useless. They think their an academic journal and not a subreddit, it's stupid and pointless, a useless source because everything there is deleted, anyone that could meet their standards is working on publishing academic articles for credit or books for money, not writing reddit comments for upvotes.
he thinks history grads could find jobs paying more than 0.000$ to begin with
HAHAHAHA bruh they literally signed up to be jobless the moment they started college. You can insult a lot of people by mocking their lack of compensated work but history PhDs are completely immune to that

Jannies are so incredibly dense, especially gigajannies like on Ask Historians.
They could say to themselves - "I didn't really ask for this part of my sub, and I don't care about it, so I'm not going to moderate it to my autistically high standards and it can be more chill"
But they can't do that. They don't have the ability to not care about it. If they're given control over a part of reddit, they feel compelled to make sure it's run according to their autistic standards. To the point that they feel burdened by its addition, even though the only responsibility associated with its addition is that they put on themselves.

Lmao the only people who m*d their sub chats is r/dating_advice or r/relationship_advice. Other than that I have never seen someone get banned from a subchat, in fact there are some banned subreddits that still have their sub chats up, even though I am the only one in them.
OMG, this is just too good! I've never seen a group of people as autistically committed to total control of their little fiefdom as the mods of /r/AskHistorians are.
It's hilarious to see that they would lose their shit over the fact that some people might get to talk on something related to their sub without speaking in full-form scholarly works and (oh, the humanity!!!) perhaps even without citing sources...
Unfortunately, it looks as though admins have backed down, though :(.
The people on /r/ask historians are clueless grads, like they prioritize primary sources over secondary sources. As if you were publishing a secondary source yourself. But this is not an academic journal, it doesn't go through peer review. If your not going through an entire peer review process, you're a tertiary source, and honestly using secondary sources is superior than compiling random primary sources together that you cherry picked to fit your view point.
They favor primary sources because their grad students desperately trying to get an academic article published and they suffer from parochialism and consider the standards that apply to them to be better than the standards that apply to all. Honestly Wikipedia is a better source than askhistorians because they at least understand that primary sources are not desirable when compiling information in a tertiary source.
Ehh... I don't quite agree. The few questions that do actually get answered on /r/askhistorians are answered fairly well. The problem with the sub is that it's incredibly hard to formulate a question that will actually fulfil all of their myriad rules, plus once you somehow managed to accomplish that - the chance of you getting a proper answer that you'll get to see are fairly slim - unless the question gets propelled to the top. There will be people answering, probably about a dozen - but these answers will all be deleted due to not being academic or sourced enough. They can even be perfectly correct (often are!), it's just that they don't cut it based on their ridiculous rulebook.

The jannies are a free labor force. People like gallow who just have unlimited energy to devote to policing reddit for the admins practically have their own fiefdom, reddit isn't going to disrupt self willing slaves.
Askhistorians is the dumbest sub, just a bunch of comment graveyards and questions without answers. What's the point of a sub where you just delete every answer. It was alright like 5 years ago when they only deleted like 2/3 of the comments, then everyone started jerking the mods off and they got a big head like they were some academic journal instead of a damn subreddit and they went full on stupid deleting everything. It's completely pointless to read since then because there are no answers to any of the questions. I'm amazed if anyone still goes there, I'm glad they're killing themselves finally instead of just wasting all their time deleting everything.
