No other city subreddit is as inundated daily with crime posts. If you scroll through /r/nyc then scroll through (any major city), you will not see the same level of crime posts AT ALL. Of course nyc draws additional attention as the largest city and a boogieman for certain types, but we don't need to entertain the rage bait.
Every minor assault that happens on the subway or in a McDonald's is posted here. Every thread inevitably fills with people crying about bail reform and woke judges and DAs. It's seriously enough already. Anyone who goes out regularly knows this subreddit is not representative of reality. Yet somehow, the only posts I ever see on my frontpage from this subreddit are about crimes irrelevant to most people. We already have /r/CrimeInNyc and most people use Citizen or some other news notification system, do we really need the main nyc subreddit to be a fear mongering, disillusioned home for our city?
