I chose these 3 artifacts because I believe that these issues were very strong claims made during the podcast. Additionally, the two pictures have humor to them, but they are tackling serious issues, which is what the podcast was all about. The podcast spoke directly about the use of moderators to control the content being put in the communities. These moderators eventually could "take over" the hateful communities and turn them into more humorous pages. I believe that having moderators on these pages is very influential because there is a specific point where a certain amount of hate just needs to be stopped. I understand that people want to speak about their opinion, but there's only a certain extent to which hate conversations can go on to. Without the use of moderators, the Internet, specifically Reddit, would be a lot scarier of a place to navigate.
Additionally, the podcast spoke about the "trolls" that are ruining our Internet experiences. The article I found was important because it discussed the CEO of Reddit's opinion on the hateful conversations that go on. In the context of the conversation in class, Reddit is a social media website that has changed the way people write. The technology being offered through Reddit of giving people the opportunity to hide behind a username and speak their opinions freely has really targeted many different groups of people. This technology has changed the way people write because their name and identification is no longer attached to them through Reddit. Overall, Reddit has made changes to their policies and the way their site is run to try and end the hate speech online, but people will still find ways to express their opinions online.
