View submission: An Open Letter to the Reddit Community
That action was pretty self serving as a company though. Shutting down to protest a bill that directly threatens your business seems like a somewhat more political neutral action than, expressing displeasure with how the president runs the nation.
Not that I mind them being political as long as its kept a long way from the rules, and moderation.

Yea I mean - credit where credit is due. I started reading this post and immediately thought "OhFuck" as I expected subreddit shut-downs or something along those lines. Given all the drama surrounding The_Donald and the fact that it is still allowed as a sub I probably shouldn't have had that expectation, but still - people are going nuts and "leap first, look later" seems to be becoming increasingly common.
However - that didn't happen. There's an opinion in there I don't particularly agree with, but it's one dude's opinion and he's entitled to it. As long as Reddit remains a mostly censorship free place for open discussion I'll gladly continue to use it while I'm supposed to be working and/or downloading games.
EDIT: And pooping, I also Reddit while I'm pooping.
