Not just someone complaining about how the new account they just made for reddit is limited. Especially when it's something that's been around for like a decade.
Complaining is pointless. Unless the mods make a new community about reddit discussion and a separate one for news, with both heavily moderated to focus the content, then you won't get only what you want to see.
Like everybody else said, it's a community about Reddit, not Reddit news, anything about Reddit goes, even if it's sentimental bitching
You are in a "bitch about reddit" community complaining about people bitching about reddit. Bruh, this is why this place was created, to bitch about reddit.
Your second point is valid, also this feature is to prevent spam from newly created accounts so why is this worthy to even complain about? New accounts shouldn't be trusted as much as well established accounts, and it's generally not that difficult to get enough karma just by commenting. For humans it does not pose that big of a barrier to entry, for bots it poses some.
