I don’t mind Reddit committing suicide because the volunteer moderation system is absolute, total, complete garbage. There are subreddits where mods have programmed any DMs to be reported to Reddit, that’s how unpopular they are, yet they continue to own subreddits representing companies who should care more about such things. One example is CardinalMember on the Robinhood subreddit.
Then there’s the issue of getting permanent “zero tolerance” bans for comments less than racism or other discrimination or hate speech. Honestly I kind of appreciate where Elon Musk is coming from lifting bans on people like Donald Trump… of course in typical human fashion, he bans people on Twitter for MUCH less than hate speech- like tracking his private jet or being critical of his thoughts or actions. Unfortunately, I have yet to observe anyone with authority who A) advocates for free speech and B) doesn’t restrict it when it’s content they don’t like.
