Another new reminder that Reddit is unsuitable for GNU/Linux communities: it's choosing which one deserve to exist.
We've long said that Reddit is unsuitable for any serious, mature discussion. Reddit isn't a forum, it is a filter or a censorship hub controlled by advertisers. The parent company is publishing fake articles (LLM slop), lying about the history/purpose of Reddit, and losing money hand over fist. It's also trying to engage in social engineering, disguised as "moderation" while having nothing to do with decency, accuracy, quality, or relevance.
To make matters worse, Reddit ousted many original moderators, in effect kicking them out of their own subs. That's on top of the above-mentioned social engineering. █
