Apparently a ton of people want to read that content. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean someone else doesn't as well. Welcome to the internetz.

  Out of the listed subreddits that had banhammers coming, one of them had approximately 120,000 subscribed users. The rest all had significantly less (100, 3000, etc). I just don't get how anyone cares with numbers so low. Any of the people frequenting the proposed ban subreddits can be ignored. But it seems like there are a tonne of people (vocal minority I'd bet..) that are worried about the slippery slope that aren't even active in those toxic subreddits. I just don't get it. If you were a part of those subreddits, and they get banned, take your bullshit elsewhere. If you're worried about slippery slope, then maybe just relax a bit and recognise what type of behaviour they want to prevent on their site. Or find somewhere else to have your discussions.

Or, y'know, talk about it, try and get reddit to give a clear policy so that the slippery slope stops and it's very concrete what is allowed and what isn't? Like people are doing?

      Yep, fair enough. I was mixing my arguments I guess.

    The measure of free speech isn't what you do say, but what you can say.
