Reddit is highly moderated and censored. You can't even post facts in /r/conservative without being banned. Reddit also has a Terms of Service and it has banned hate groups under such terms of service. With a large bias towards far right hate groups because there really is no existence of far left hate groups. So of course moderation seems biased when your views are hateful to begin with. Advertisers generally want nothing to do with advertising on low quality networks unless those advertisers are targeting people because they profit from their misery.

Moderated by unpaid users = shit moderation, you get what you pay for. Moderators get rewarded with the rush of 'power'

  It is fun getting the "punch a Nazi" edgelords banned for inciting violence.

    Reddit doesnt seem to care (hey it's free work , right?). There s literally nothing that users can do against bad moderation in grandfathered subreddits. It s really terrible that the same people "moderate" subreddits for 10+ years, while their audience has changed so much.

>Reddit also has a Terms of Service and it has banned hate groups under such terms of service. >So of course moderation seems biased when your views are hateful to begin with. It doesn't seem biased, it is biased. Reddit's policy on "hate groups" is both sexist and racist, according to one of their employees, and their actual practices. "Our rule1 protects groups that are attacked based on a vulnerability, which doesn't pertain to white people or men as a group." Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/NgOxEg0.png https://i.imgur.com/NgOxEg0.png What is rule 1? "Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned." (https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy) So in practice, the policy is actually: "Remember the non-white male human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking non-white people or women. Everyone except white people and men have a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate against non-white people or women will be banned." These days I automatically assume that anything reddit bans as a "hate group" was nothing of the sort. Hate groups are perfectly allowed on reddit, if you hate the correct people. Here's a sample of currently active ones: * https://old.reddit.com/r/FragileWhiteRedditor/ https://old.reddit.com/r/FragileWhiteRedditor/ * https://old.reddit.com/r/FragileMaleRedditor/ https://old.reddit.com/r/FragileMaleRedditor/ * https://old.reddit.com/r/FemaleDatingStrategy/ https://old.reddit.com/r/FemaleDatingStrategy/ * https://old.reddit.com/r/AreTheStraightsOK/ https://old.reddit.com/r/AreTheStraightsOK/ There are a bunch of fragile$GROUP subs that redirect to FragileWhiteRedditor or FragileMaleRedditor too, here's a fun example: https://old.reddit.com/r/fragileblackpeople/ https://old.reddit.com/r/fragileblackpeople/ The sole post says "Nope. Nice try /r/FragileWhiteRedditor." These subs all make it really obvious that the real policy is not the one in the official policy, but the one that exempts men and white people as a group from any protections.

  The people on that site are infuriating. I managed to spend about 60 seconds on that site before I saw someone say "racism = prejudice + power" in response to someone else saying you can be racist against white people. Why try to change the dictionary definition of a the word "racism" to mean "systemic racism", I wonder?
