r/NoStupidQuestions•7 yr. agoAedificoLudusWhy doesn't Reddit's no participation mode prevent you from commenting/voting altogether?Posted Mar 30, 2019, 2:06 PM UTC23ShareSave
Because it's not actually a feature of reddit, it's just a stylesheet that some subreddits use that hides the posting and voting buttons.
Oh cool, so it's more a courtesy thing?
Yes. It's mainly a reminder that you're not supposed to contribute to that post.
