My point is that the overwhelming trend is for Reddit to become more mainstream. Which means leaving some communities behind.
At best reddit is a food court. So of course the same person will post in many different subreddits, that's the entire point on the site.
Is there any source about women being so shocked that they leave reddit? They don't seem so scared on TwoXChromosomes or Gonewild.
Imgur is also a mainstream site and in the comments women are as thirsty as men.
Consider: “YC is so large that we need to suppress negative stories on HN.” What are the diffs between that, which is clearly a tactical mistake, and rooting out your list of unfavorable du jours? Are you sure it’s an invalid comparison?

The criteria for the "cool place to go" can change on a dime.
