why does avoiding political discussion have to be the metric for "genuine conversation"? seems a bit biased and smallminded.

The Big Web has “users” – a term Silicon Valley has borrowed from drug dealers to describe the people they addict to their services and exploit.

reddit has a duty to keep subreddits open if they dont want their IPO to die in a fire.

reddit does not give a flying fuck about their users - it hasnt for quite some time.

stay private/blacked out for eternity, let that platform collapse.

delete the content, kill the sub, and brigade it to death if reddit tries to resurrect it

eh I just read through the post over there, I suppose their concerns are somewhat valid, to a point, but there really isnt a "safe space" anywhere except between your ears.

really just reads like excuses to being lazy.

you gotta remember that the constant consumption of media is similar in many respects to addiction - people need their media back, preferably in an easy to swallow pill. the vast majority of the reddit userbase is unwilling to search for other methods/platforms to satiate that desire.
