Reddit is a content management system for stupidity and spam. Let's not pretend it's some pristine, important institution. Trolling the_donald could only have been a step in the right direction.
Then I'll leave. Simple as that.
I don't want an anarchist site where malicious actors and nasty people are free to race to the bottom because we're afraid of polite society.
The Founding Fathers of America differentiated between Liberty and Freedom.
Freedom is anarchy, but Liberty is freedom with common sense restriction. Liberty is freedom from onerous interference.
I don't want a Free Reddit, I want a Reddit that respects Liberty.
Not a Reddit which lets maliciousness exist because it can, but one which has common sense restrictions to create a better community.
It's no secret that far-more-strict control on Hacker News produces far-better outcomes for discussion than Reddit.
The hands-off approach to Reddit creates a race to the bottom for trolling and nastiness.
