Chairwoman Pao is going to kill Reddit.
THANK YOU!
And any of these idiots who are complaining about the first amendment being violated, guess what. It doesn't extend to the cyberworld.
Ironbite-you're at the whims and wishes of a dictator known as the site owner.
Oh, I agree, Reddit has the right as a business to do what they want with their site, as long as it doesn't violate the law. However, I have the right as a consumer to criticize them and take my business elsewhere.
See, here's the thing: I think Reddit has ulterior motives for banning fatpeoplehate. They have yet to produce any evidence that it's actually involved in harassment, nor have they gone after SRS, which is notorious for its enablement and encouragement of brigading and other malicious activities. Furthermore, they also banned a subreddit critical of Neo GAF. Again, they have yet to give any evidence of actual malicious activity.
And you know what else they did? They banned a subreddit dedicated to whale-watching, thinking it was a clone of fatpeoplehate! Bravo, admins. Bravo.
Look, I didn't like fatpeoplehate, but that doesn't mean I'm going to sit back and watch as it gets banned under false pretenses. As Voltaire said: "I disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
So yeah, fuck Reddit. If things don't change in short order, I'm moving to Voat.
