Metapost - Reading the (civilized!) comments on HN vs those on Reddit is such a contrast.
I'm a bit worried that while regulators are focusing on X/Facebook/Instagram/etc. from a moderation perspective, not one regulator seems to be looking at the increasingly extreme and unmoderated rhetoric on Reddit. People are straight up braying for murder in the comments there. I'm worried that one of the most visited sites in the US is actively radicalizing a good chunk of the population.
- bryan0 2y agoInteresting you say that about HN, because reading this (and other) threads I have the opposite view: HN is devolving into Reddit-like nonsense.
