This is overblown (like most internet nerd rage that transpired at Reddit the last few days).
I bet most folks who don't frequent the site, and haven't used it over the holiday weekend will come back and not even know anything had transpired and don't feel any decline. I've used the site daily for a long time and it is fine by me. Maybe I just don't get upset that I can't say and do anything I want on the site because I know that is silly.
Shutting down creep subreddits like fatpeoplehate and others is totally fine and isn't stifling anyones free speech. No one has a right to be able to post whatever they want on a 3rd party website, fortunately to many and unfortunately to some the Internet is no longer the Wild Wild West.
- smorrow 11y agoThe only reason I even know what this is is that I just happened to go on /r/all that day out of boredom. And I go on Reddit, like, every day.
- mreiland 11y ago/r/fatpeoplehate wasn't a creep subreddit, as far as I can tell they got banned because they started brigading outside of the subreddit (harassing people they considered fat). I'm personally fine with those subreddits existing, free speech and all that, but I agreed with the decision to ban it. You step over the line when you start actively harassing people.
