> And somehow weren't banned for this? SRS was ostensibly fighting the evils of Reddit misogyny, racism, harassment of women etc - and more importantly, could convince enough of the media of this that it would likely have ended very badly for Reddit if they banned them. There would almost certainly have been headlines about Reddit supporting harassment and all kinds of nasty shit the next day. If dealing with harassment is seen a form of social responsibility, that just becomes another tool for the cleverer harassers to use. Also, when reading point 3 you need to bear in mind that of course people who'd do this to Reddit admins wouldn't just restrict their behaviour to the admins, and that the admins kept publicly insisting the group had done nothing wrong. I think this may be the first admission by an insider that wasn't true.
