fxbl0i··on Reddit's /r/Piracy is deleting almost ten years of history to avoid ban
Political arguments that differ from the mainstream and that could only happen on a platform which is both anonymous and has a hands off approach to moderation and monetisation.

If I had to choose an adjective to describe the entire affair it would be "stupid".
