I was about to write up something about this. The problem with this rule's wording is that you can't maintain a "safe platform" for both /r/judaism and /r/gasthekikes.

Okay well until today I didn't know there was a gasthekikes reddit and frankly that is knowledge I could have lived without knowing. Sounds like a shit place.

That being said there is a difference between not wanting to and not being able to do so. I can understand them not wanting to, but it's certainly not impossible.

It's odd but I've grown to dislike hearing the word safe in conjuction with space or platform. Mostly because they never seem to be applied the way they should be.

It seems like when people use the word safe nowadays they talk about it in terms of not having to deal with differing viewpoints, which is not really what it's about, and always applied to public forums or vast social media platforms.. which absolutely should never have a blanket policy like that.

I shudder to think the person I would be if i never had to deal with people who thought differently than me. While it might be nice to have some small corner of the web to retreat to at times, that corner probably shouldn't be a giant platform like Reddit. At that point your just overriding public discourse, not creating a safe space.

I guess this kind of turned into a ramble and no longer has much to do with what you said. I just don't like where this is heading
