Because rubbing your chin doesn't accomplish anything, messing around with stuff does.

>The 5 mods running an average of 18 top-100 subs each are not going to be as tough to replace as people think they are, the reality is at that scale you’re not managing anything o…

The power mods that are pushing the blackout run something like 80% of the entire site. I honestly don't see how they allowed this to happen in the first place.

Reddit was already consolidated prior to this, the moderators in question and the subs that are shut down are run by the same handful of moderators that run the entire site. Someth…

The SEC isn't catching up to it when they've explicitly refused to clarify to both the people they are trying to regulate and the lawmakers themselves on what they determine to be …

I fail to see how that isn't the case when Gensler went to bat for FTX prior to their collapse in similar fashion to the way the SEC behaved in 08, refuses to clarify surrounding t…

Also worth pointing out the SEC's involvement in the subprime mortgage collapse.

And neither is justifiable cause for regulatory action. I don't think this is the reason the SEC is going after Coinbase, but frankly I don't believe the SEC is doing any of this o…

You are describing the google app store as well.

The real trick is that the comic has always been about what is "acceptable" content, which in the US is what advertisers deem acceptable. When this comic was first printed it was p…

Organizations like Google, Amazon, and Apple have more capital and potential to do harm to individuals than most governments in the world. > Both the left and right political movem…

This is far and away the largest reason I avoid the site beyond niche hobby stuff. The moment a discussion CAN have dissent, the "game" of the site incentivizes you to only say thi…

This literally has happened to multiple subreddits too, it's not like this tactic hasn't been effective in the past. /r/punchablefaces comes to mind.

They did the same to Cody Wilson's patreon alternative and Dick Masterson's NewProject2 using the exact same verbiage too.
