Reddit has a unique place in the tapestry of social media. While other platforms have evolved into mediums of the personal — whether it be careers, personal lives, or even political opinions — Reddit has remained a place where people can maintain anonymity while discussing their most intimate concerns. Recently, an anonymous user went viral on the platform after asking whether it was worth risking a falling out with her in-laws to report their neighbors for allegedly violating zoning laws.
According to the post, she has an 18-month-old toddler and another child on the way. Occasionally, she wrote, her toddler visits her in-laws. The only issue she has with this arrangement is that her in-laws have neighbors with a swimming pool, and the property is not fenced off from the in-laws’ yard. The poster says this is against the law where she lives, and that the only reason it has never been enforced is because only her in-laws have visibility of — and therefore access to — the pool.
