Sorry to have been so mean. I simply think starving a website of visits is not great.

Do you go deleting communities created by users on your instance, if you don’t personally see value in them?

That is one hell of a jump to conclusions.

An intentionally huge jump, in order to illustrate why your take was bad by extending it to a similar but more clearly wrong action. If your opinion led to you acting this way in this case, would the same opinion lead to this other thing? Both actions are wrong for the same reasons, just different in magnitude.

Additionally, if you'd bothered to check that community, the posts link to Randall's actual site. You still have to visit it. This was how r/xkcd did it too. No-one is posting just the image files.
