>The 5 mods running an average of 18 top-100 subs each are not going to be as tough to replace as people think they are, the reality is at that scale you’re not managing anything operationally on a day to day level, you’re setting up a s

The power mods that are pushing the blackout run something like 80% of the entire site. I honestly don't see how they allowed this to happen in the first place.

Reddit was already consolidated prior to this, the moderators in question and the subs that are shut down are run by the same handful of moderators that run the entire site. Something like 20 people are the top mods of 80+% of the subreddit

The SEC isn't catching up to it when they've explicitly refused to clarify to both the people they are trying to regulate and the lawmakers themselves on what they determine to be a security. The SEC created a situation by which a

The SEC had a hand in the subprime mortgage crisis, quite literally there is no reason to believe they are regulating on the behalf of anyone except the large banks. They absolutely are not regulating to help "investors" they are

Mastercard and paypal have both shut down legal activity in the last 4 years on the backs of government decisions or targeting legal, but politically inconvenient activity and there seems to be no slowing down on that avenue. Pornhub is one

It really isn't, it's just an extension of the flawed mentality that people like Munroe exhibit. The reality is that speech is ALWAYS a slippery slope, and those who believe it isn't are always surprised when they become the

The real trick is that the comic has always been about what is "acceptable" content, which in the US is what advertisers deem acceptable. When this comic was first printed it was partially a response to big platforms like Reddit h

This is far and away the largest reason I avoid the site beyond niche hobby stuff. The moment a discussion CAN have dissent, the "game" of the site incentivizes you to only say things people agree with, otherwise you are hidden fr
