Why is this not allowed to be discussed here dang?

What's going on on reddit is something never before seen and has directly lead to the rise of extremism in the US. Every thread about reddit should be about this, nothing else matters in the context of what's going on here - on topic or not. How are more people not paying attention or maybe they are and OK with it, which is even scarier.

You've done the same to my comments about this exact issue in the past. You're denying visibility to an issue so much more important than some inc fluff piece, on the grounds of what - making YC funded companies look bad? Being off topic? Too political?

The admin team has shown a flagrant and criminally negligent disregard for the ethical and social impact of their platform which has lead directly to the loss of human life on more than one occasion, the rise of extremism and fascism but we're not allowed to talk about it here on any threads, why?

Because Reddit drama is tedious and predictable, and tends to suck the oxygen away from other topics.

Right, but the topic here was Reddit’s actions with regards to certain subreddits, and why they can’t simply purge everybody that people wish they would.

It was also on-topic regarding what I replied to, so it was more than a little surprising to see it detached as off-topic. And I find it intellectually gratifying to analyze group dynamics.

Either way, it’s your site, your rules. There are better things to discuss.
