Hacker News Reader

I think a lot of the offensive comments that are easy to find on Reddit can also be found on other popular sites, such as Youtube, Facebook, or comment sections on news sites.

You could very easily replace "reddit" with "the internet" and wow, all of the sudden it's like we've time traveled back to the early naughts with hysteria over kids having internet access

So?

That is an excellent argument for not including those subreddits in the default home page (for users who are not logged in) or /r/all.

But you can find offensive things, or things you don't want your children to see, on just about any site (also, yes, your teens know about redtube).

If you make it easier for people to find the sub reddits then you get those people who are making the comments in the sub reddits now. It's a catch 22.
