So instead of tackling the source of problem, they are using authoritarian regimes toolkits.
Things are getting worse. Some subreddits like /r/breastfeeding, which were private from the start, are now being forced by Reddit to make their subreddits public. It's completely stupid. r/breastfeeding NEEDS to stay private to keep creeps and weirdos away.
Wow. Welcome fellow old ex-Redditor. You will like it here. You'll see that it feels like like the Reddit of old.
