    We as a community need to decide together what our values are.

You know what, after reading this same damn quote for the 10th damn time, I'm starting to agree with Huffman's ideal. If reddit's admins definitively and confidently started molding the community's values, they would be able to actually make reddit a more coherent, united community– with a bonus of less dead kid pics.

An obvious problem is fuck you this is reddit the users decide what the community looks like and we're just about the shittiest bunch of humans that ever farted out a comment– and that's not the sort of problem that Huffman's utopia can work around. You can ban a thousand nasty subreddits but the shit-stains are on the wall, and some people are admiring it as artwork. I just don't know what he's planning on accomplishing.
