    I really like whet people are doing to change reddit for the better, because they are taking a negative aspect of the platform are changing it to a more wholesome and family friendly content.  I personally do not use reddit ever but if I was going to use reddit these subreddits of hate and vulgarity would deter me from engaging with the content i came for.  People love to spread hate and I like that people are taking a stand and making a change for the better person by person.  Like in the podcast shows, no one really knew what the internet was going to pan out and become so it was impossible to predict the negatives that would follow.  People were only excited about the positives and not the proverbial dumpster fire that would spread in all corners of the internet.  Brad is just one man mentioned in the podcast but just his efforts alone have made a change for the better and slowly as more people realize that they can make a change more people will join him.  The efforts that people are taking to stop hateful environments on the internet and reddit is a dangerous thing to do but an effort that must happen.  Doxing and in real life consequences can come as a result of stopping the hate which is terrible because just as many people want to perceptualize the hate as those who want to stop it.  Reddit compared to the rest of the social media cites seem to be the least moderated by the actual platform and instead leave that moderation for the creators of the subreddits which i think can be both good and bad.  In the positive sense good moderators can foster an extremely engaging and welcoming community that benefits the lives of all that come into contact with it.  but on the flip side a subreddit can become a place of extreme hate and volatility if left unchecked or even promoted by the ones in charge of the subreddit creating the aforementioned dumpster fires.
