You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and welcome to episode 130 of

Atheistically speaking with your host Thomas Smith.

Well let's go ahead and get to part two of that interview with Ben Bell

from Itibond about the Reddit toxicity study.

Very fascinating stuff and I'm excited to get right back into it.

I'll see you afterward for a little bit of commentary. You already mentioned a few, but were there any other reactions that were particularly notable you mentioned

libertarians were pretty happy with where they were yeah so I mean there were a couple of sub-retits

they were just like happy that they were toxic. They're like,

our shit Reddit says one of like the main comments.

One of the, it wasn't the only comment that came out of that,

but there was definitely a contingent that was like, oh, yeah, well, obviously we're toxic.

Like, we're trying to take down these terrible things.

Like, we should be toxic.

Like, how else should we deal with this?

Yeah, and that's interesting because I didn't realize that.

So you're saying that is like a pro-feminism group

Reddit that's taking down sexist comments right is the day have that right

Yeah, or any kind of bigoted comments. Okay, yeah. I didn't even know that. I didn't even know that.

It's almost being toxic about toxicity, kind of.

That's almost exactly what it is.

Okay, yeah, wow.

Well, I guess that makes sense that they would be happy about it.
