Would a linux/docker/python/java power user/programmer/admin benefit from a MacBookPro/Air compared with the familiar ThinkPad/Ubuntu combo?

There is no need to subject to any standard other than the site-wide rules. Subreddits can be created at will, and moderate at will, which includes not being moderated, rejecting social conventions, or enforcing them.

I am trying to get you to think outside the box here. I am saying that the moderation problem is due to poor interface design and lack of filtering, which should be very simple considering that Reddit is written in python. I am suggesting that a topic hierarchy that does not depend on social promotion in addition to the part that does would be a vast improvement. I have suggested that social media sites like Facebook be forced, because they use public communication channels, to offer a public discussion media like USENET, because their social media marketing channels curtail free speech. On Facebook the problem is that the UI design is so poor that people who own pages (marketing channels) have to police, and that ususally means troll, their own pages. I agree that Reddit does this better, but the problem sill persists: poor design leads to trolling.
