Reddit has officially jumped the shark. What this is is a mea culpa admitting that their history of letting the community police itself hasn't worked (it has) and beginning a crackdown on expression/speech/communities the admins don't like.

It started with /r/jailbait... but I wasn't a ephebophile so I didn't speak up. Then they came for /r/thefappening, but I didn't speak up because I wasn't into fuzzy pictures of people I don't know. Then they came for /r/gamergate, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a gamer.

I'm speaking up now. This is a step in a VERY WRONG direction and will be the end of reddit as we know it if it's allowed to continue

Instead of promoting free expression of ideas, we are seeing our open policies stifling free expression

No, you're seeing expression you don't like and have decided to stifle that. If you're going to become a curated community of safe spaces and hugboxes, say that. If you're going to be a space for free expression, then you have to understand that some expression will offend your sensibilities. That's a GOOD THING. How else can one find out that they're wrong if not for challenging their own ideas?

I really hope that the reddit admins reconsider the path they're going down. Shadowbanning those who question Ellen Pao, banning communities that they don't like... digg fell for less than this. Reddit could very well be next.

/r/gamergate never was an actual GG sub. It was squatted on by SJWs the same day the word GamerGate was invented and it posted nothing but anti-Gamergate content.

What actions did the admins take against /r/gamergate? Didn't hear about that one. Sounds like bullshit to me.

But I'm glad you posted this version of the poem. It's important to realize that having your account shadowbanned on reddit is literally comparable to the Holocaust. It's not like you can just create a new account and continue using reddit.

Shadowbanning those who question Ellen Pao...

There's zero evidence that ever occurred.

...banning communities that they don't like...

The two examples of communities being shut down exposed the site owners to criminal and civil liability. If you expect illegal activities to find safe harbor on reddit, you have genuinely stupid expectations for the website.

So they're getting rid of the pedophiles, the amoral creeps, and the whining misogynists? God I'm fucking excited.

You... Do know the context of the quote I'm referencing, right?

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_...

Point being, even if you disagree with someone.. ESPECIALLY if you disagree with them, silencing them is a pretty terrible idea.

To be clear. I understand that this isn't a 1st amendment issue. Reddit is a private entity that can invoke any rules it wants. I however enjoy the platform, and want to guide it towards what it's always been, a place to freely express oneself. Without fear of being called a harasser because someone decided to take offence to my words.
