r/The_Donald mods were censoring all comments against Donald Trump (hence why they didn't reach r/all)
> the CEO mocked Facebook's knowledge of their users data saying that at Reddit they know not only what one publicly speaks (such as in Facebook), but also their users "darkest secrets" (in an interview about advertising on Reddit).
It was clearly a joke taken out of context from conspiracy theorist.
- adnzzzzZ 10y agoModerators can run their subreddits however they see fit. They're the ones who create the rules and they're the ones that enforce the rules, as long as they don't break the rules of reddit itself. Admins, on the other hand, should not favor one subreddit over the other.
- mxvzr 10y agoWhy do you make that distinction? AFAIK reddit is not a free speech platform.

- cargo8 10y agoBecause mods aren't paid and are generally put in power by their specific community to uphold the communally agreed upon standards and rules. Admins are paid employees of a company (reddit) that provides a platform for communities and discussion. If the platform itself is biased, then it is not really a platform but rather a specific media / viewpoint forum. The distinction matters.
