@bri_seven And I'm just saying that this whole thing is designed in a certain way, and you should know what it tends to do.
When you send a message here, it goes lots of places. Possibly more than you'd expect. That's what it's designed to do. If you want it to do something else, design & build it differently

(bad metaphor since airports don't clone passengers and send them to as many places as possible)

A thing I don't really understand: Why anyone would put in so much unpaid volunteer effort for someone else's commercial enterprise like Reddit?

Seven Rules For Internet CEOs To Avoid Enshittification | Techdirt
Anyway, Iβd like to posit seven basic rules for any internet CEO looking to avoid the enshittification death cycle. Think of these as the rules that Steve Huffman maybe should have learned years ago, rather than whatever the fuck heβs doing now.
