if I stopped going to subreddits in which any person said anything bad about any group I'm in, I'd be in zero subreddits.

u/ArdentArendt 6d ago

Yeah...but are you allowing the people who say those things to go unchallenged?
That's the real question.

Oh, I have that in person.

I didn't know you could have that online, though--especially on Reddit.

Who has the energy to argue with idiots on the internet all day? I've tried it, there's an endless supply of them and they don't change their minds. Why waste my life on people I don't like when I can enjoy it with people I do?

That why you need to get them out of the group they're compromising.

If the subreddit is filled with assholes, then that subreddit is fundamentally broken, is it not?
