Look I get why everybody wants to shit all over this, and for good reasons.
But we can't all be like "Kendrick Lamar's Superbowl performance was a deep political critique on the problems in America and the resurgence of a racial divide in America!" that literally featured Serena Williams crip walking, and turn around and act like she has zero influence on her husband Alexis Ohanian, his politics, or his understanding of where America is at.
I am cautiously optimistic.
Strange, are people really arguing that? Back in 2020 Alexis Ohanian resigned from the board of Reddit and asked for his seat to be replaced with a black candidate. Say what you want about the guy but he doesn't seem that out of touch with America's racial issues.

I don't have any issues with the guy but IMO the Digg thing may end up going nowhere if they're really planning on relying on AI for moderation, just seems like like a bad idea overall
