should we be discussing reddit less? (beehaw.org)

Seems like a good portion of the activity in the communities is reddit oriented. If the goal is leaving/hurting reddit, it seems we should be continuing on like it doesn't exist, instead of continuing to drive interest to the site. Thoughts?

Similarly, I almost liken it to getting out of an abusive relationship. Not exactly of course because it's just a website, but similar.

    I joined Reddit in the middle of an abusive relationship. I don't even need "almost" as a qualifier.

    "Look at all these nice things I'll give you for the low, low price of making you feel like you can't function without me through a series of increasingly hostile and degrading actions while making you believe that this is the best you'll ever find."
