When Reddit goes public and everyone EXCEPT the subreddit moderators make millions/billions, I wonder how long Reddit will stay around for? It’s the subreddits and the moderators that make what Reddit is today, and they are the ones that do all the hard work and yet somehow they are the only ones that won’t profit from an IPO.

reddit should be 18+ at this point.

Agreed. I'm progressive and try to engage in good faith, but have been banned from a number of subs such as whitepeopletwitter (racist name), politics, latestagecapitalism, and several others because they are safe spaces. They are agitation echo chambers. I get that sometimes, skilled trolls play devil's advocate to take conversations off the rails, but the banhammer falls far too quickly on the large subs. It really…
Right wing strategists must love these "leftist" totalitarian safe-space bullies, successfully alienating everyone from a more centrist/moderate viewpoint, destroying careers of people who said ignorant things 10 years ago, while Roe V. Wade and Miranda rights get overturned. They'd be happily winning internet points as democracy fails around them. They're just as responsible for the issues in America as the extreme…
Reddit has declined so significantly in quality and (in particular) moderation that it's hard to get much out of it. I used it from the very beginning and now overall quality (both posts and comments) is as low as I can recall. Mods have ridiculous power over any users that actually participate in the comments and, in my opinion, the "weaponization" of moderator ability as well as of reddit's newer mod tools has gott…

> Blatant transphobia. If we applied your argument to r/conservative, it would be child grooming to become a racist school shooter. Here's a post from within a week I found in a few minutes[1] with the top-comment being "The pipeline" about a 16 year old (minor). This is child-grooming. And if /r/conservative has a "pipeline", it's child-grooming too. Children shouldn't be encouraged in making major life decisions by…
The egg_irl post you picked. Sigh. Picking apart meme content and comments is stupid. But sure, lets do this to support this 'child grooming' nonsense transphobic discussion. What you're criticizing isn't someone making a major life decision based on feedback from internet strangers. Its a person who has made a major life decision reflecting and joking about the experience in a space assumed to be for trans people tr…
And if that were the case, and I refused to recognize one of my child's weekly fantasies (he likes to pretend to be a cat, but we don't take _that_ seriously), I would be considered a toxic and "transphobic" parent. That these medical procedures and gender "counseling" could provided to my child without my input or approval (in the name of "safe spaces") should be alarming to most parents.
We need to understand what's going on in our schools and with our children before we smear people with this "transphobia" neologism, because it's not productive nor conducive to discussion.
