one thing that I love about SE is that everyone is very professional. almost all answers are either sourced or can easily be seen to be correct. what I am worried is that if a lot of the normal mods quit and our replaced with new mods, who may be more political, SE will turn into Reddit where leftist politics prevail in all of the major subreddits and most responses to factual questions consist of options or unsourced "facts". if that ever becomes the case then I will be sad. although, when seeing how the admins of Reddit act, I'm guessing that acting like they do is good for business.

The reddit future is a very real possibility.

What's the "reddit future" a reference to?

How much politics do you get in technical Q and A forums?
Currently not much. But maybe in the future if someone mentions a man page they will be banned for not calling it a people page
