If I don't want to see offensive slurs, I won't associate with people who use
them. Let me decide what is a slur or not, and let me decide who to associate
with.

The problem with Reddit isn’t the technology. I mean, yes open source is good,
and I want more of that. Even Android is a good thing even if only one company
actively contributes to it. At least when you hit a bug or don’t understand
how something works, you can go read the code. But the problem with Reddit is
community management, and re-writing it won’t solve that.

Reddit has been a mostly free for all in terms of moderation, and it is
explicitly set up to allow thought bubbles, which gives rise to communities
that dox activists, that incite violence, that promote conspiracy theories,
etc. I love Reddit’s good parts and really detest its bad parts. Problem is
that you can only solve that with strong application of content guidelines, or
by not even pretending to be a good place a la 4chan. There is no model as far
as I’ve seen, not even an academic one, that allows for mostly moderation free
or self-moderated content while also not prominently featuring at least one
neo-Nazi group using it to communicate and coordinate.
