To my great detriment, I use #reddit. To my even greater detriment, I offer my expertise by engaging with r/asklinguistics. Boy do those people, including a mod, harbor a huge amount of animosity towards Mufwene, DeGraff, and their framework for #creoles that I've never seen any #creolist seriously take issue with. Post to clarify that creoles are born out of #slavery and expect to be run through the mill. I think today I give up on reddit. So many design problems.
