But Reddit’s moves might come back to bite it. Its most fervent users are clearly angry with Elon Musk and with a social media ecosystem that’s already been happy to suppress frank discussions of identity, race, gender, and class warfare under the censorious mandates of the Trump administration.
Make it make sense. :')
Redditors continue to post anti-Elon and pro-Luigi content despite being removed and “filtered.” Users have threatened to leave the platform en masse before, but they might actually do so now that the most basic and fundamental mechanism of the website (i.e., voting) could lead to them being punished. It’s almost as if Reddit wants to drive away the very people who made it the front page of the internet in the first place.
Reddit needs to be shutdown for the greater good. Into the wood chipper it goes.
Reddit isn't the "front page of the internet" fucking Google is. Reddit is, at best, the letters to the editor section of the internet. A couple pages deep, and nobody really respects it.
They are basically intertwined now since every other search result is some reddit post. Not bad for technical queries, but anything about entertainment or politics is always from the woke perspective
As much as I'd love it if destruction of their echo chamber made them more sane and calm down, you have a good point. Just look at what happened when the NSFW section of Tumblr got nuked.
Somebody like Elon needs to buy it and gradually close the vice on leftists like they did on normal people, but also let them keep their own heavily monitored btard style cesspit of communist degenerates. The individual subreddit format is perfect for that. Hell I'd even let them have their own version of a front page that they think is connected to the search engines but is effectively shadowbanned and disconnected from the real world. Freedom of speech not freedom of reach.
Inciting violence isn't freedom of speech though, that's been court tested.
The reason why reddit is "cracking down" is because law enforcement is reaching out about the daily death threats posted there.
I was getting 20+ people banned a week reporting "luigi" threats, before I got banned for "reporting people too much" despite over 85% of the people I reported being banned.
While I would enjoy the subsequent seething and gnashing of teeth that shutting Reddit down would cause, I also don't want Redditors coming to the places I left Reddit for.

Thank fuck I don't use either of them.

The problem is, Reddit now is a containment vessel. Where will the radioactive locusts go if Reddit dies?

At this point, I have come to the point that only Almighty God could bring sanity to the Left. At that might be iffy.

Sounds like still reddit isn't fully complying with the law then. Your testimony may be useful in the coming DOJ lawsuit.
bluesky.
