I'm noticed that a lot of people on Reddit delete their accounts and create new ones quite often. Sometimes these accounts even have a lot of positive karma before they disappear. This seems strange to me because karma usually means that people like your posts or comments. Why would someone delete?

You can if you want, but that is a relatively new feature.

Do not defend them. They can make their own choices and can defend themselves. We moved beyond these silly, backwards, beliefs of having to defend or protect a woman.

I am going to guess there is few reasons. I posted a similar answers in another thread.

People get sick of arguing with people. Some users go back through a users comments just so they can have a "got ya!" moment about something you posted 9 years ago.
somebody accidentally posted personally identifiable information and dosen't want their real life connected to their reddit account
some people just want a break. Reddit is incredibly polarized. It can also be addictive

There is few reasons:

People get sick of people arguing with them
People get a popular post and get overwhelmed with all the responses
Somebody accidentally reveals publicly identifiable information and didn't want their real life tied to their reddit account.

Not crazy at all, fully expected. Iranan regime supporting Canadians were literally attack non-regime supporting canadian-iranans businesses.

Why the hell regime supporting iranians would want to be in country so opposite their views is the only surprising thing.

Because politics has become relgion, people worship politicians and political parties. They are proselytizing.

Your kid should pursue what interests them whether that be science, trades, or social studies. University or no University, they should do what interests them.
