      Ignoring something long enough and it will go away, just like ignoring climate change will mean it’s not a threat anymore.

        This is quite literally how social media works. They rely on user engagement to succeed.

        Comparing reddit to climate change is… something.

        Yep. Lots of stuff. Livejournal, Myspace, AOL, Digg.

        Protesting platforms that feed on engagement by engaging with those platforms is very silly. You won’t fix them.

        If you think Reddit turned space back on thinking people wouldn’t use it to protest and to promote alternatives, I feel like you haven’t been paying attention. They feed on rage, it keeps their numbers up.

        What they can’t feed on is letting them die because we don’t need or care about them anymore. Like Mab at the end of the 90s Merlin miniseries.
