That isn't the point. The point is that many subreddits are very, very friendly and cordial./r/math is just one example. The unlimited downvote feedback system has nothing whatsoever to do with some subs having scum and villainy; what causes that is the fact that anyone can create a new sub about any topic.
See: Reddit. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than a social networking site with this kind of unlimited feedback system.
No. A thousand times no. It really depends on the subreddit. In some subs, vile content abounds. In others, it's downvoted into oblivion, if it even appears at all. An example is/r/math — one of the most polite places on Reddit.
In my experience, most of Reddit is pretty sane, with limited bile. Contrast this with Facebook public groups, where it's impossible to downvote slime and filth (you can only upvote posts and comments by Liking and Loving them). I'd much rather have Reddit's system. Downvotes are a good thing.
That's why one stray photon would screw up time travel -- any difference whatsoever would cause the weather to be different in about a month and soon different sperm are meeting different eggs, and the entire next generation is different.
TFA contains a ridiculously embarrassing grammatical error in a sentence:
Entering the group however leaves traces since this operation is listed in the graphical user interface.
It's missing commas around "however." It should say:
Entering the group, however, leaves traces since this operation is listed in the graphical user interface.
Seriously? This is supposed to pass for a serious article these days? What the fuck. Proofread your goddamn papers, people— and stop sucking at grammar!

Not just you. This site is a sad shell of its former self. Reddit is much better for good discussions of things like this.
And how is this going to change anything? People can still share the same pass. They just have to see different movies.
You and a friend each want to see two first-run movies this week? Swap your passes and see both movies twice. Done and done.
My god, are you from the 18th century?
Screw it. I'm waiting for the C++ band.
I'm waiting for the LawnDart scripting language that sits atop Dart.

Dude. It was sold to Apple in 1998.
[...] is an interesting read, if you don't mind a PDF.
Whoa, you're kidding, right?
What in god's name other kind of format would anyone want for reading a serious scientific paper???
PDF is, seriously, the only way to go for something like this. If you do mind a PDF, there's something wrong with you in the head.
In your sarcasm you failed to emphasize the important bit. That this is a SPACE station.

Fura are millet dough balls eaten in Nigeria.
Did you mean furor?

We literally have Natural Gas coming out our ears in the world right now.
I, for one, do not literally have natural gas coming out of my ears.
I do not want my mind read and immediately obeyed.

DS9 (even the human actors) will just look worse and worse as the screen resolution goes up, forever.
No, DS9 won't look worse and worse. It just:
* won't look better
* will look perceptually "worse" relative to newer things
but it actually will never look worse per se.
I can't understand those numbers without a car analogy.
