Reddit gives you easy exit over voice. You can always start your own subreddit and run it pretty much however you want.
When did American journalists turn into such delicate flowers concerned with privacy anyway? Where was all that indignation when some old guy's private conversations were analysed for their racist content? No problem there? Or when Gawker "reported" on Hulk Hogan sex tape? How is TMZ not constantly under fire?
I'm liking this new stance but it seems rather selective.
- seiji 12y agoThe problem is with mixing pure + vile. Nobody cares that Huffpo or TMZ hosts sideboob galleries or privacy invading gossip just for clicks. People do care if "show off your baby pictures" is hosted next to "we sell meth at discount rates anonymously." (Reminder: reddit is just centrally controlled usenet with some wonky turducken corporate structure. nobody ever claimed usenet had to moderate standards, but your provider could filter you if you wanted to be filtered. the problem is... you can't apply arbitrary filters to reddit (outside of nerd-fueled browser extensions) because they aren't just a message provider, but they are also the closed, proprietary message reading interface.)
