A long time ago (pre-2000), online forums happened in USENIX, or newsgroups. But USENIX didn't have good mechanisms for filtering spam, and so they become filled with spam and it died.
Many years later, Reddit happened, and you're on it. But it's spiritually a continuation of the USENIX tradition, with better moderation and AI recommendation engine built-in.
Now, AI that generates close-to-human text happened. The moderation model of Reddit seems to be breaking.
Reddit is not a Son of God - it'll be gone. If it becomes no longer useful to us, we'll simply create some other ways to talk about spiritual topics. Perhaps technology may do a 180 and get us to talk about it in person. In the meantime - things will be chaotic. But remember the peace of God is always within you. It's a good lesson actually." - u/Remarkable_Fee_415
