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.
Welcome to /o/STEM! This circle is dedicated to science, technology, engineering, maths, and medicine, where you can discuss all things STEM, seek career advice, share learning resources, and pose “ask an expert” questions to the Ovarit STEM community.
Please provide a descriptive title for your posts and add a flair that best describes your post topic. We encourage posters to add links to relevant articles or research papers in their posts and comments.
Since our focus is on STEM, posts should not be focused on politics, ethics, or philosophy. Any discussion on popular science or medicine (to include COVID-19) must be based on scientific principles and research.
This is also not the place to discuss diet, lifestyle, alternative medicine, or psychology. For these topics please check out o/women which is a general discussion circle and o/womenshealthlounge which is a support sub for health issues.
From 2016.

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