Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

should we be discussing reddit less? (beehaw.org)

Seems like a good portion of the activity in the communities is reddit oriented. If the goal is leaving/hurting reddit, it seems we should be continuing on like it doesn't exist, instead of continuing to drive interest to the site. Thoughts?

Whenever anyone questions what 'we' should do I strongly suspect Hall Monitor tendencies and hamfisted political aspirations. The passive phrasing hides nothing.

I'll talk about what I want. Lets talk about that well worn contradictory canard where you promote something by pretending you want it stifled.

In short, 'we' is just working its collective self out and attempts to steer it at this stage is naive, premature and revealing. IMO

Your premise rests on driving people towards reddit by mentioning it. Hardly a sturdy premise.

Someone asking a question is hardly authoritarian, Let's try being a bit more charitable rather than jumping to conclusions please
