Good. That community should die because reddit is leeching on it. We don't negotiate with terrorists.

Terrorists? I must have missed something.

  More of an analogy. If you kidnap US citizens then (officially) the US won't negotiate with terrorists to set the hostages free. People shouldn't try negotiating with reddit admins.

    Because they took someone hostage? Seriously, even as an analogy that is ridiculous.

      Because they took everyone's IP hostage - please, do try to follow the conversation.

        I think that the jest here is warranted. To evoke such an analogy under these relatively futile circumstances is odd.

        It’s not odd at all, it’s a common saying in situations like this or even less “serious” situations.

      It's hyperbole. I'm dying to know whether you already understood that.

But this is the terrorism part: you're hurting random innocent people to terrorize the leadership into doing things your way.

  Random innocent people are not entitled to the content I chose to freely create (however valuable said content is, or not).

    Sure, what does that have to do with Reddit the company, or with terrorists? > That community should die because reddit is leeching on it. We don't negotiate with terrorists.

      Multiple people in this thread have stated that they believe that users deleting their own content is "destroying the community/Reddit", to which I say "their access to said content is a privilege that can be revoked, not a right", and users who do this (of which I am not one) should not be made to feel guilt. Community contributions are a voluntary act, not an obligation.

        "They" = company or community? Why reply to me instead of those people if they are who you're reacting to?
