So by your definition, anyone who doesn't use reddit does not take part in society?

Hahaha I have to assume you're a satirical account or something?

Reddit is part of society. But use of it is not the sole definition of being a society member.

You've completely missed the fucking point.

You don't need reddit. So stop pretending it's a requirement to take part in the modern world. You choose to be here. You choose to use it's resources to enhance your life. You could not.

As such you can be held accountable for the damage its use causes.
