If anything, it’s way easier to control what your employees see if they are on a company instance.

…that was entirely my point.

Also, which company uses Reddit as their forum?

lots of small apps, orgs, communities etc just have a subreddit and a discord server. Lots of bigger companies have official or semi-official subreddits.

We’re all a big community. I think people get this quickly.

Someone wanting to get support for their hoover or something may not. they create an account to discuss the pros and cons of certain hoover and see loads of random stuff about American politics and Linux. Their going to get real confused. Most people have heard of reddit now though (and to a lesser extent discord)
