    thank you… I will consider that if this doesn’t go anywhere. Reddit kinda went downhill over the last decade… it use to be a reasonable place for discussion. I would have thought though that most people that migrated here from Reddit would be slightly more mature since they understand the evil of corporate greed but it seems like lately it’s 50/50 on comments now whether you’re going to get personally insulted for blinking wrong.

      It’s not just Reddit. Civic debate has completely deteriorated with the rise of Social Media. It amplified everyone’s voices to the point that left drowning in a sea of noise.
