Reddit really needs to clean house in a huge way.
That they let this kind of shit go on, in addition to allowing The_Donald and other hate groups to exist on their site, is really disheartening and has really turned me off to even visiting much anymore. The place is overrun by bots, paid astroturfers, and vile racists.
- darpa_escapee 10y agoIt was full of astroturfers, racists and pedophiles (ahem, I mean ephebophiles) 9 years ago. These subreddits and antics generate a nice profit.
- DoofusOfDeath 10y agoI can see the case for banning bots and astroturfers. But I've seen the term "hate group" sometimes used to silence the expression of views that one finds disagreeable. In my estimation, what you're advocating is likely to cause more harm than good to the robustness of public debate.
- humanrebar 10y agoI find the_donald annoying and idiotic. But the anti-Trump front page material on reddit is equally annoying and idiotic. I don't mind political discussion or opinionated pieces if they're intelligent, open-minded, and at least intended to be productive (as opposed to outgrouping and other forms of villification). I'm not interested in 21st century "two minute hates".
