I was FPH reader and enjoyed the sub a lot. That being said I can definitely see how it went too far and I don't mind a policy which doesn't allow subs like that. I think what constituted "too far" in their case was posting pictures without face removed of normal people (that is not public figures or at least those without significant presence on the internet). I can definitely get behind the rules which don't allow for that. I do however feel the sub wasn't motivated by hate. It was more of ranting/reactionary sub against fat-acceptance movement and a trend to treat obesity as a normal thing. A lot of people me included think this is harmful. I think feeding your child Coke and McDonalds every day constitutes child abuse and I think calling social workers on parents who have 200lbs kids is justified and isn't even close to harassment. I think you should be forced to buy 2 plane tickets if you can't fit in one seat etc. etc. I am as anti-bullying as people get and I am a bit of "social justice warrior" at heart but I was FPH subscriber as it was one place where what I consider insanity was called out regularly. It was also great motivational sub for me as I am a bit overweight and many people on FPH testified they feel motivational influence as well (which btw I get now on r/fatlogic which is fantastic sub which is more careful about bullying and way more too my taste). I think many of those 150K+ subscribers were like me. I cringed seeing occasional abusive post but the vibe I got from the place wasn't of one motivated by hate at all. Btw I think racism is a problem and I would welcome rules to ban it. I like free discourse but racism is too much (same for misogyny although that label is applied too liberally these days). I think people are responsible for their views and spreading some views makes the world a worst place. It's a hard thing to balance but racism is established enough as harmful that it should be treated similarly to Nazism - that is banned form public discourse.
