Reddit doesn’t owe anyone anything.

how about asking kids parents to detoxify their kids than solving the problem way down the chain of command?

People are shitty online because they have anonymity. Now instead of going ahead and removing that, it might be worth going backward even more and going to the person.

people need to be nice on the internet. The internet does not need to be nice to people. Detoxifying internet is no different than censorship. I can say this with certainty that as soon as we ask companies and governments to detoxify, it will get misused [un]intentionally.

So it's going overboard to police what people say in a public forum, but it's not going overboard to police what parents teach their children in their own home? You're more afraid of censorship in the public space than state-mandated parenting practices in private?

> state-mandated parenting practices.

I hope I can become a good parent and can teach my kids to be good people by the time I am ready. If you need a state to tell you that, you probably should not be having kids. Having is a privilege and unfortunately also a right.

Edit: In all seriousness, what I was saying is that we should be teaching kids to be good people rather than acting good on the internet.

Also, we should be smart enough to know that all this article is doing is spewing shit on Reddit to generate them pageviews. That is all journalism is now a days.

People are shitty even without anonymity. Theres enough people on Facebook who say horrible things, or push for horrible and hurtful ideas.
