    I'm being snarky about this, but reddit (among other things. I don't really know what ails them) has a spez problem

    It's spez that caused mods to have shit mod tools, the war with API against its users, who seems purely interested in the profit motive, training LLMs on reddit data

    And yes, reddit has a censorship problem. Always somewhat of an issue with subreddits as a concept - I'll just get 5 of my friends to ideologically align against you and ban your posts - but even the site itself seems to be this. "The most real place on the internet"?! Fucking please.
