I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but have you considered your own antagonism against Reddit is not healthy for the community? Throughout the years I've seen you talk down about Reddit and the people there quite a bit. I get that they're "rougher" than the ideal Rust citizen but they're also real people and members of the community. It's probably best not to judge one of the largest sites on the internet if for no other reason than it breeds hostility.

I go back and forth on it. I try to also say that I think /r/rust is better than most Reddits, but I think the core problem is structural, and what I say doesn’t matter that much.
Fair enough.
FWIW what you say matters a lot, pretty sure you have a ton of respect from a lot of engineers across multiple language communities (myself definitely included).
I definitely appreciate how difficult it is to be the "custodian" of a) a language community and b) an open source project within that community.
