Yes. I originally framed this info to support those fleeing reddit and to encourage women to close their accounts/stop supporting a platform that monetizes and tracks their data (now for AI programming) as well as silences their words. Some may argue that they should remain on reddit to be the voice of feminist reason, but when the mods remove those words, how is this even logical? Any platform that silences (or deplatforms) women and their words does not deserve our time or activity (which IS money to them). They do not even allow women to protest such silencing--when our protests are silenced. Would you allow some billionaire man to put tape over your mouth to shut you up? Because this is what reddit it doing--except for male predditors and misogynists and all the rest of scumanity.

The owner of reddit, the Newhouse family (Advance Publications) put Trump in office just to turn a buck.
