They are if you teach them well
I really feel like it peaked in 2012 or 2013. Hot on the heels of the "rally to restore the sanity" (which proved the true power of Reddit, but was co-opted and defanged)
Lots of big AMAs but they could be very chaotic.
Allowed content wasn't quite as wild as two years previous but it was still possible to find some real taboo/NSFL/disturbing/subversive communities of all sorts.
The userbase was large but still most of your friends would make fun of you for going there, and your parents didn't even know it existed.
The admin team was still pretty small and they even would make a point to hire users who understood the culture and spirit of the site.
Yeah... People lose their goddamn minds over minors and sex, like they were never minors themselves 🙄😮💨
I got banned for the telling a teenage OP in /r/sex that her yeast infection was probably caused by her boyfriend's dirty fingers. I told her to emphasize cleanliness and hygiene ahead of future encounters. She said she couldn't ask her parents for sexual advice and also couldn't consult a doctor, so I tried to give her immediately useful advice
I was banned for "encouraging sex acts with a minor" but not before a bunch of people called me rude names for "imagining her sexual encounter with her boyfriend"

I wish they animated ASOIAF... Would have been incredible
such valiant resistance!
No nation-state in my lifetime has taken the real and necessary steps to mitigate/slow it.

Unless you drastically reduce cars and airplanes and cargo ships, nothing will change. Unless we pretty much stop eating beef, nothing will change.
If you actually priced environmental damage into the cost of oil, literally no business would be profitable. Instead we even subsidize it. The result is the world we have now.
We will suck every drop of oil from the ground even as we are choking on the CO2
We're never going to stop or even mitigate climate change...
He's a loser who helped found reddit and can't figure out how to monetize it without sacrificing everything it stood for
