I agree. I see it's been flagged dead at least thrice:

    https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9872149
    https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9872386
    https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9872806
There may be more.

The problem is that while this is an important issue that deserves, indeed, demands, careful and intelligent discussion, I've seen that of late, HN is not the place to get such discussion. I expect the thread to degenerate rapidly, and so I suspect that's why it's getting flagged. Not because it isn't important, but because it will bring out the worst in people, and become a focus for incivility at best.

I'd love to be proved wrong.

Relevant... the OP's comment regarding his post on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9872513

Also, Reddit was funded by YC so ideally this discussion should have a place on HN.
