[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee -4 points 3 years ago (1 child) I dont know how to break this to you but there has always been a LOT of incorrect bullshit on Reddit, and it's always done just fine. If the Boston Bombing didn't do the platform in, canning surely wont. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] thrawn@lemmy.world 11 points 3 years ago It’s not about Reddit. The platform will continue. It’s about the communities with some built-in danger reducing the bar for safety, potentially leading to death. The internet is pretty callous, but someone dying over this would be bad, right? That’s still a living person who might not do enough research or follow the unsafe article and get hurt or die. Reddit as a platform aside, and even if you or someone else believes they should have been more careful, people dying in part because of this is the issue. permalink fedilink source parent
