Side topic: In the USA, what is the legal precedent for business competitors having a very similar name? If I name my social network for race car drivers "Racebook, Inc.", and my logo is a blue square with a white "r" on it, am i opening myself up to legal trouble?
Remember Twitter and Twitpic? I imagine raddit is not okay.

I am certainly aware of that, thank you. Here's another Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historikerstreit And I obviously don't google every nickname on HN, but he told us that people were calling him a Nazi without providing evidence. I wanted to look into that.

Let's say in a 100% tolerant society a group that is intolerant of every other group comes into existence. They just operate by the credo - you're either with us, or the enemy, and all enemies must be destroyed. No further logic can be applied (they may even declare all logic as one of the enemies). Now if as a society you tolerate them without the use of force, they will try to destroy everyone else who is not part…
The problem with this paradox is that it's applied to situations that are actually different from what's describe here. Suppose even we have this group that's intolerant of everyone else. But their intolerance is expressed in speech, not actions. In other words, they're saying, "you're all our enemies, and should be destroyed", but they aren't doing anything about it. Or maybe they are, but it consists of running a p…
> As a society, you can absolutely tolerate them without the use of force, at least until the point where they actually get the majority of votes (but at that point, they are the society, and you're an outgroup in that society).
You just answered your own question
You know why Reddit and Twitter became some toxic environments? Because they're not designed for healthy community development. And neither is this. It's a mindless clone and it already looks like it's turning toxic.
> You know why Reddit and Twitter became some toxic environments? When were they toxic environments? Reddit and Twitter are what you make of it. Are you saying it's toxic because people are able to express opinion that you disagree with?
Nope. That's not what "toxic" means, here. See my comment further up the thread.

How does that make sense? If a culture is tolerant and somewhat smart they can add tolerance to their constitution. By doing so they will both allow tolerance and not have to worry about anyone (tolerant people or not) taking away their "ability" to tolerate.

Reddit is a business. I don't support businesses that facilitate child rape forums. You do. That's how we are different. Other businesses should not suffer for what Reddit does so I use the internet, on usenet other providers likewise, on reddit you all share the blame because you support the same business. I can't tell myself I'm only using this tiny part and those nasty people aren't anything to do with me because…
Absolutely absurd argument. Do you use toll roads? They're a business. Criminals and even "child rapists" use them too. Can't believe you would further their ability to move about our society and evade law enforcement by willfully funding the infrastructure they use. Get over yourself with your absolutist nonsense.
I appreciate that they're banning nazis, brigaders, and people spamming bigotry and gore, but they're straight up wishing violence on these people. It's one thing to think "Wow, you're a dick and I hope you die" and another to openly admit it and let it influence your decisions.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Uhhh... there's already a radd.it which is a nice viewer for reddit videos. people might get confused (or are these related?) update: radd.it just shutdown. hmmm...
This is interesting. I'm interested to know how this all occurred. This statement is from here http://radd.it/farewell.html : "Why? Some of the reasons are personal but many have to do with reddit. A few months after I finished working on this site, I had what I can only describe as a spiritual awakening. I now see how reddit is just a part of a far-larger deception designed to keep us blind and afraid. I no longer w…
>"Can you spell 'buisness' for me?"
>Spell it with me, people. B-U-I-S-N-E-S-S. This word comes from the Dutch root word of 'buis' meaning 'pipe' as in a a process or workflow. "Business" is quite obviously busy-ness. Most demons will never admit this to be true or even entertain the thought.
>You'll hear things like "Doesn't work make you busy?" Yes it does, but that doesn't explain how you could get the pronunciation of 'buis-ness' from 'busi-ness'.

>This is the question I asked when my 'mother' was suddenly at my house back in California. (I was wrong about her being a 'clone' though.) She could not answer 'yes' to the question so I just kept asking it.
>Yes or no, are you my biological mother? "What? Why would you ask that?" It's a simple question. Are you my biological mother? "I don't understand why you'd even ask me that!" Yes or no-- "YES!!" You must wait for the question. Are you my biological mother?
(Hope I formatted this correctly)
