    They always use the word “trust” for the manipulation of Reddit conversations. Fucking ghouls.

    We need vetted online spaces that keep that shit out.

        That’s a great question. And I don’t have an answer for large open platforms.

        It does make me yearn for smaller local communities that are actually communities and not just open spaces anyone can slither into. You know? It makes me realize how online spaces are not healthy. They were fine for a fleeting few years. But now they are co-opted and nasty.

        It’s an aspirational statement without practical easy action to take, yes.
