You're right. This private company is surely the end of us.

Their actions may be Orwellian, but keep your head mate. It's just an internet forum. I'm sure we'll survive.

It's just an internet forum.

If Reddit was the only platform doing it sure.

But when you step back you see EVERY internet platform is doing this. Not only that but the social aspects of the internet are now controlled entirely by a 4-5 companies. If just one of those companies does something(be it facebook, twitter etc.) that basically impacts the vast majority of the world.

This isnt the pre smartphone era internet where one website doing something bad can be ignored.
