Not having browsed the subreddit before the ban... Was Doxing really common? Or are you saying it was a ”very positive action“ for the whole website because you disagree with their political views or tone?
- realusername 10y agoDoxxing was quite common, harassment against other subreddits as well. r/altright were actuals neo-nazis. They were not like the_donald, you would find nazi posters all the time on their page and ethnic-cleaning memes.
- TheCoreh 10y agoGotcha. If they're breaking the site-wide rules, then I guess the ban is warranted. My main concern is the trend of selectively enforcing rules just on those you disagree with, and being lenient with those you agree. That could be seen as a form of “soft” censorship
- realusername 10y agor/altright was openly a neo-nazi subreddit, with hitler posters, calls to kills jews and harassing other users, at some point you need to draw a line on what should be there.
- tdb7893 10y agoIn my experience with their tone and harassment they generally push the boundaries of acceptable speech (for example at my university a group placed posters based off of literal Nazi propoganda) and if they were not a political group and had this amount of visibility they would've been banned already
