      That mirrors the tension many reddit mods struggled with recently… It’s difficult to push back against Reddit without also punishing its active users in some real way.

      The folks using Reddit are still real human beings. But I get that not everybody is going to draw the line in the same spot.

          I feel like it’s more like shooting a hostage to spite the one holding hostages.
