reddit is a link aggregator. its for people to find links, post them to relevant groups who then evaluate the quality and relevance of that post, and then vote to bring it up or down in the feeds of people subscribed to that group. that’s how reddit works. its a very poor way to hold discussions because it means any unpopular opinion gets downvoted by ignoramuses who don’t understand that they’re evaluating for quality not for agreement. reddit is not a place for discussion.
