I'd agree with this if Reddit didn't ban literally every single subreddit their vocal minority didn't like. Reddit used to be a fun hybrid of Fark and Slashdot.

I'd agree with this if Reddit didn't ban literally every single subreddit their vocal minority didn't like. Reddit used to be a fun hybrid of Fark and Slashdot. It was far better than both of those and had a niche audience just a little larger than the HN community. It was great. Now it just feels like a perpetual tumblr ready to silence the reason why their users are even on their platform.
- Trill-I-Am 6y agoWhat subreddits have they banned that weren't vile?
- uyt 6y ago/r/watchpeopledie was a very educational sub. Sometimes you just want to see real life events that they will never show on TV. Reddit used to be a place where you could find content like that.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y agoPornography can vile yet ISP's don't take them down even though they could. Why can't reddit do the same thing? 4chan exists as well yet they haven't been taken down. This is why I disagree with the argument that reddit hasn't taken down any subreddits that "werent vile." If someone is on the internet, they're going to find something they're interested in. ISP's can't stop it for web traffic, why should reddit be treated any differently?
