"It's not our site's goal to be a completely free-speech platform. We want to be a safe platform and we want to be a platform that also protects privacy at the same time." - Ellen Pao

Like George Carlin said pertaining to Radio as instead of the Internet:

"Did anyone ever tell you there are two KNOBS on the radio?

Two. Knobs. On the radio. Of course, I'm sure the reverend isn't that comfortable with anything that has two knobs on it. But hey, reverend, there are two knobs on the radio! One of them turns the radio OFF, and the other one

CHANGES THE STATION! Imagine that, reverend, you can actually change the station! It's called freedom of choice, and it's one of the principles this country was founded upon. Look it up in the library, reverend, if you have any of them left when you've finished burning all the books."

The reason Reddit works is because YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THOSE SUBREDDITS THAT OFFEND YOU. Banning them will just give justification to ban anything that you don't like.

We all know the real reason she's doing this is $$$$$$$. The reason I come to reddit is because of the openess and freedom. This is the first step of me actually searching for an alternative.

As a fat person, Which I am, It's ultimately about free speech, Which they should have, This is what this site is founded on!

You can argue all you want about the right or wrong of these sites, but you actively can not view them if you wish.

But they have the right to exist.

They have the right to express themselves.

As Larry Flint, Publisher of Penthouse explained

"If it weren't for scumbags like me upholding our first amendment rights, You guys couldn't exist.

You haven't won a war, You have suppressed a given right.

I am not a fan of the overall ethos in /r/fatpeoplehate. But look. Sure, it's kind of sad that grown adults get together to feel self-superior and say hateful things about others. The way they dehumanize obese people disturbs me.

But people will do what they're going to do. There's no real point in banning that shit for "free speech" reasons. It's kind of shitty to take a cell phone pic of someone in a Walmart, just so that you can make fun of them online. That's low. That's some fucking middle school shit. But people can be unpleasant. No one is going to stop people from behaving that way. The only way they'll stop is if they look at themselves and realize that it's not right to dehumanize other people like that.

Look, I've been the /r/fatpeoplehate. People there like to circlejerk about how others on Reddit complain about them. It feeds into the perverse social solidarity that ties that place together. People unite when they feel somehow oppressed. Banning /r/fatpeoplehate will only strengthen that community, not dissolve it.

But let's get real. Naturally, "creating a safe space," and protecting people from being offended, isn't the real reason for banning "harassing" subreddits. As someone already pointed out in the comments on /r/announcements, it's about making Reddit more palatable and friendly to advertisers.

For example, let's look at why /r/fatpeoplehate was banned, but evidently, /r/coontown is still up and running. This is my hypothesis: subs that were targeted are the ones with higher traffic. As sad as it is, /r/fatpeoplehate is popular. It makes /r/all on a fairly regular basis. It's highly visible. The nail that sticks out gets pounded down.

It's all about making Reddit look good for advertisers. Reddit has struggled to monetize in the past, and like it or not, I strongly suspect that they're headed in that direction. If a sub that gets big enough is deemed "offensive," it will be eliminated. Why? Because Reddit probably doesn't care about what goes on with 100 people on some tiny little sub. But they only want "safe" content to make the signed-out Front Page and /r/all. They don't want Reddit novices or advertisers to pull up Reddit and see that stuff. They want some not-so-controversial news pieces and plenty of nice, vapid, palatable jokes and memes.

"Safe space" is right. But it's not about being "safe" for the individual. It's about being "safe" for advertisers to reach as many people as possible.

To me, the saddest thing about this, is that it's not some grand conspiracy of politicians or corporations. It's not even about trying to stifle free speech among the populace about political ideas or controversial views. It's about advertising. It's about selling more products to consumers. Reddit is curtailing free speech to sell more Coca-Cola, more iPads, more fast food. And that's just depressing.

The mere fact that this has occurred is proof that it has merit.

People only get really upset about the truth because it hurts and it causes them to have to face it. Besides, with the raging woman who heads this joint and the type of people that follow her, what was to be expected?

I like to think I'm not terribly judgmental, but there's the way it should be, and then there's the way it is now in a lot of facets in this world.

It's simple really. We've all known that reddit has been run by corporations for quite a while now; that sweet corporate cash is what helps run the servers needed for this huge amount of traffic. It's sad, but with a majority of people on here being fat tubs of lard, it makes sense that the corporations backing reddit would want to keep them around for the site hits. It's no surprise then, that Pao and the other Fatmins would want to play along and get rid of any subreddits that offend the delicate sensibilities of fatasses

If reddit is then incharge of what content is acceptable, can they be held liable for content which is unacceptable?

Maybe we can get a nice class action started and each make a couple of bucks.

P_leoAtrox · 46分前

Why have years and years of this insidiously increasing censorship gone by without a single viable alternative website to Reddit gaining ground? I've heard of criticalthought.me and the quality of the content there really reminds me of Reddit's very early days, but it doesn't seem to have many users. Can we please all migrate there?

Reddit has nothing to offer us anyway, we're the ones supplying all of the content. And censorship aside, the quality of discussion that most of reddit's users are even capable of having has plummeted to rock-bottom. I for one am really sick and tired of trying to talk to people seriously about serious world problems and getting nothing but stupid jokes, knee-jerk reactions, and butthurt in response. I remember when Digg entered the same phase reddit has been in for at least 7 years now, the only difference is everyone switched to reddit within one year when Digg's quality plummeted, most within the first half year. So what the actual fuck is going on here?

It's like classic abusive relationship syndrome where we're not leaving even though we're being stomped all over. Can we please all organize and collectively say "FUCK YOU" to reddit and just be done with it? Like I said the only content that's here is what we provide, the only discussion that takes place is what we start, we can turn absolutely any part of the internet into that. We really don't need reddit, at all. Especially now that it's doing nothing but getting in the way of the content and type of discussion that most of it's users actually want .

I'm probably about to be banned for this, but I really hope you guys heard me.

You censors just destroyed great one liners, amazing puns, catastrophic ironies, angrily glorious statements, fuck the censorship, fuck you all you book burning freaks! Censoring your entire lives, shutting your eyes to the world, pretending you'll be safe because you managed to hit the mute button, while in fact you are your own greatest enemy in life. Fucking pathetic and disgusting, hypocritical, and annoying. You might win this battle, b u t you've already lost countless wars.

/r/fatpeoplehate has been banned due to violating the reddit rules based on the harassment of individuals.

So, I know I'm gonna eat shit for this, but if that quote is accurate then whatever it did violated the rules of the website. If that's the case then there's your problem, Pao has little to do with it as interim CEO.

Also in this thread we're all foaming about FPH being banned, but citing Coontown as an example of a worse sub, and I'm frankly not sure what the point is. Coontown doesn't seem to directly encourage harassment and brigading like FPH did.

Also also, if /r/coontown were banned, you don't think we'd be complaining about that, too? I understand the difference of opinion on how to run reddit, but it's like in this case there's no way the admins can win. They either blatantly allow the rules to be broken and allow harassment and violence to be incited on their web service, or they enforce the rules and now they're against freedom of speech.

velodev · 25分前

Cmon r/conspiracy, where is the flair?
OK so I admit to lurking on FPH, for a variety of reasons. Mostly I saw it as the extreme opposite reaction to the other extreme opposite thing happening, in which obesity is a worsening problem that is getting a bunch of new social acceptance. It was both funny and hateful- look but don't touch for my money - I prefer the ethos of being the change you want to see in the world. But it was a source of some information and an artifact of our culture.
Yesterday I happened upon a FPH post of a pamphlet found in a doctors office - the OP claimed to have briefly confronted the doctor about it - it was HAES (health at every size) propoganda. The comment section zero'd in on the possibility that Nestle co. was distributing these to doctor's offices, and incurious staff members might make them generally available to the public. This is potentially a public health issue - even if it's taboo to tell people to not smoke or be fat in social settings, at the doctor, the science should rule.
So! Where are the good conspiracy theorists speculating that nestle or kraft or coke or pepsi might have something to do with this - advertising dollars, deals, etc? Reddit is a company - AFAIK it's not a non-profit...
