@cfiesler@inthehands@michaelzimmer@profprof@sarahgilbert It’s Reddit Inc.’s stated preference for behaviour on the platform, which is absolutely not the same thing as actual user behaviour on the platform (and tolerated by Reddit Inc.).

@cfiesler@inthehands@michaelzimmer@profprof@sarahgilbert I did read it thanks, and do appreciate and agree with your general point about conducting research ethically. I’m simply pointing out that specifically appealing to Reddit’s “remember the human” guideline (as the title and first paragraph of the post do) as a source of authority on ethical behaviour, is not compelling given the actual behaviours exhibited (and tolerated) by Reddit. In my opinion it undermines your (valuable!) argument.
One time we went to this great cigar bar, and I convinced my husband to pose with a cigar, so I could get a picture, but then he said to not post a picture of him with a cigar, so I had to get creative.
What is a little white lie you were told as a child, that you believed for too long?
I was way too old when I figured out a human couldn't actually get sucked down a drain or flushed down a toliet. I used to cling to my little brothers, and pull them out of the bath any time my Mum would pull to plug.
