Bit of a dumb article, no?

First, the people leaving reddit are shitlords who want to harass people. Trolls, basically. Reddit is banning trolls, not everyone. So to say that reddit is going to collapse because they're clearing out the dross is a bit silly.

Second, Reddit's troll base is made up of individuals. Where do you think those individuals will go if they choose to leave Reddit? From one perspective, 'Reddit' isn't going to die because 'Reddit' is middle-class 15-25 white male America. From another, we now have a swarm of angry trolls looking for somewhere to fight for the First Amendment rights. They'll just set up shop somewhere else and start their self-validating circlejerks there. Voat won't do it because - if the admins have any sense - they'll make it untenable for Reddit to set up there by not upgrading their server requirements to cope. The Reddit exodus will then move on. Hubski has better infrastructure to cope so is at greater risk.

I don't think many of you will disagree with the use of the word 'risk' there.
