      Thanks for the ping. The reporter certainly took some creative freedom with what I told him and crafted the article into an anti reddit-admin hit piece rather than focusing on the ill intent behind the news like I had hoped he would.

      Reddit won’t do a thing until it gets them bad press. That’s pretty fucked up that they think mods should be the one to talk to suicidal users. What is the job of community managers if they don’t...

      Reddit won’t do a thing until it gets them bad press. That’s pretty fucked up that they think mods should be the one to talk to suicidal users. What is the job of community managers if they don’t deal with any community issues anymore? Spammers are just content creators, harassers can be blocked and now preventing the loss of life is preventing them from promoting ads. Absolutely pathetic.
