I'm pretty sure they banned all the racist subreddits at one point. Was that not the case?
I'm not a fan of the more fascist aspects of the reddit userbase. There's immense value, I think, in allowing ignorant people free speech and over-labeling things as hate speech can be dangerous. For a while the site has been more about shouting and downvotes and less about dialog.
- gizmo 9y agoDefinitely not the case. They only banned a few of the worst offenders.
- graphitezepp 9y agoThey only ban subreddits as a reaction to them pulling negative publicity. Has to be offensive AND making noise for them to do anything.
- bryanlarsen 9y agoThey banned all the racist subreddits where they could find an excuse to do so, like doxxing. It's just like the real world. It's not illegal to annoy a cop, but that cop is going to be trying real hard to find something else to pin on you.
