Reddit announces policies deigned to “Promote ideas, protect people”
- Canada 11y agoSounds like Reddit is preparing to eliminate the various types of culture warriors who frequent the site. Will they pick sides or just ban them all?

- thrillgore 11y agoThere are moments in online communities. Technology changes, policy changes, terminations etc. that represent the marked decline. Eternal September with Usenet, v4 with Digg, the recent departures from 4chan, and now I fear this; they signal the beginning of a decline in visitors and revenue. Reddit must do what it can to cultivate a vibrant and happy community that doesn't jump down each other's throats. Or else they'll end up running out of mindshare, reach, and money. This should have happened sooner.
- aminok 11y agoDo personal attacks include scathing criticisms of Reddit's CEO? Many were complaining that admin was removing posts critical of her during the big trial so the question has to be asked.
- edgarvaldes 11y agoMods are a really important part when you talk about "protect people". I frequent a subreddit [1] where the mods are so pro-active and invested into the healt of the sub, that they have a rule [2]: >If we find that you are active in any subreddits that promote hatred toward any particular group of individuals, your participation rights in this sub will be revoked.
