    It’s the same reason the KKK wears masks - cowards like to hide behind dog whistle language, when they feel disinclined to face any actual consequences of their beliefs and actions.

    By that comparison, Reddit’s message isn’t even so bad (as KKK hate speech!:-), but it does look like it may fall into a similar category at least.

    Or not - surely its founder is totally a nice guy who really was simply joking around there with the messaging strategy, no toxicity there at all, amiright!?
