We don't need to become reddit though, reddit is the problem. There is something about how it's structured that encourages toxicity. I would be more concerned about keeping these communities positive and welcoming. We don't need to make it inviting to all of reddit... I'm sure I'm not the only one that would rather see hurdles for entry than open floodgates for the kind of stuff that was making even the nicest and sanest of people into crazy assholes. My outlook has completely changed since leaving that cesspool and I'm actually horrified by how nihilistic it had made me. The world is a mess but reddit is worse.
