Personally, as much as I loved Reddit, I think there needs to be a move away from centralized platforms that can keep pulling this shit time after time. Hopefully there's a way to ensure the contents of r/flashlight are archived for posterity, but I don't think I'd be terribly inconvenienced if it was, for instance, permanently locked.

The community is the people, not the place, and I'm happy to be seeing familiar faces here already.
