First they came for...

Twitter just announced something similar, and Imgur's acting the same the past few days. Looks coordinated to me.

http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/10/8761231/twitter-block-lists-share-import-export-social-media-trolls

Twitter is letting you and your friends join hands to block trolls and miscreants Overdue support for blocking large hateful groups on the social media platform

Twitter users will now be able to export and import block lists, the social media company announced today. Any user can curate their own list of users they block on the service, then export the list and share it with others. This will, in theory, help those in the Twitter community receiving harassment from similar sources, allowing users to collaborate on block lists spanning entire groups, not merely individuals.

God forbid some person adds to you a popular list because they misunderstood a joke or just because....

...the fat haters, but I wasn't a fat hater.

[–]BloodyParoxysm 31ポイント32ポイント  (8子コメント)

The scariest part about this isnt the subreddits that have been removed. Bizarre choice when so many more inflammatory subreddits exist, but that's not that bad. It's how they're presenting it that turns up the dial. If you go to /r/fatpeoplehate it says what they say in the announcement. It's done to 'keep people safe'.

Correct me if I'm wrong but nearly every fucking thing that reddit has collectively stood for in opposing, SOPA and all the other shit bills, were all done in the idea of 'keeping people safe' but were just limiting free speech. Isn't that what reddit just did? Limited free speech? Granted it's shitty things to say but shouldn't they be allowed to say them? What's to stop this from extending further and applying to more and more subreddits? I'm not condoning the behavior, just the right to at least speak their mind. We all have block functions, we can use them. We can ignore them. They're not on the front page or anything. They're routinely downvoted or at least lambasted in comments.

Anyone have a replacement to reddit?

That really disgusted me as well. They aren't even trying to hide their ideologies, anymore. Reddit has become total trash and I don't understand how the mainstream users cannot see this.

www.voat.co

[–]BloodyParoxysm 2ポイント3ポイント  (5子コメント)

What is this Voat? It seems to be loaded with traffic. Barely loading on my end.

[–]AustNerevar 5ポイント6ポイント  (4子コメント)

It is for me too. I browse there slightly less than I do Reddit, but it's never been this bad. There was talk of FPH coming to Voat if it was banned from Reddit (I really just hope it doesn't), so maybe these events has caused some kind of overload at Voat? I don't think if there was some kind of exodus that it would be happening this quickly, though.

[–]BloodyParoxysm 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, I'm all for leaving. If this seems viable whenever I can get it to load, then there I'll go.

I like reddit. I've been here for 7 years across a variety of accounts. A few days ago, I got my account shadowbanned for calling out a very famous karmawhore on reddit. Not gonna name names, but if you saw him you'd recognize him. I didn't follow him or bitch him out, just if I happened to see him on the front page (at least 5 times a day) then I'd comment saying "Goddamn <name>". Got banned from /r/Woahdude first, where he's extremely popular, then shadowbanned entirely.

I was barely doing shit. Just said someone was a karmawhore if I saw them being a karmawhore. I expressed an opinion and moved on. I got shadowbanned for that?

I love this website but fuck it. I see no point in staying around if they're not even going to vaguely attempt to hide what they're turning into. Everything that they hated. Everything I'm pretty sure that Aaron Swartz would have hated.

[–]superprez 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

From what I have read, voat is slow because of the exodus from /r/fatpeoplehate

[–]AustNerevar 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Which kind of blows because with that large of an influx of users, the entire front page of voat is going to flooded with pure hate. I mean, I can just block that subreddit, but now anyone who considers voat as alternative is going to be met with that toxicity.

The FPH crew deserve to have their own space, however. I'm more than disgusted with Reddit at this and I feel like it's time to jump ship.

[–]superprez 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree with that. I did lurk once or twice on FPH and made the mistake of saying a girl wasn't fat. It was full of twisted fucks, but it seems the owners are being very subjective. Hopefully voat gets it shit together and someone makes an app for it. Then it'll be adios reddit

[–]lilTyrion 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

it's "sex sells"...everyone knows it's a thing but it still works regardless. clamping down on things for reasons of "safety" or "the children" is freshmen year manipulation but it still works especially when those clamping down are the venues that set the parameters of the debate.

[–]SnowyGamer 86ポイント87ポイント  (8子コメント)

This is clearly just the beginning. By the end of the summer, Reddit will not be a safe space to go against the grain. It'll be Digg version 2.0, tumblr style.

Try making an conservative argument in politics...

try claiming that the robots won't come to took err jeeebs in futurology

FPH was great motivation every day to stick to working out... sad that it's gone. I love how people are claiming that it promoted brigading, when one of it's top rules was don't brigade, don't link elsewhere. Meanwhile srs is an entire subreddit dedicated to highlighting disagreeable comments...

[–]chealsearock 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Even in subs like /r/unitedkingdom

[–]SnowyGamer 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Try claiming basic income isn't the only reasonable economic policy for all future economies in that sub. I was banned over there for saying that it was a bad economic theory and shouldn't even be discussed in the sub.

You know that tumblr has lots of actually fascist blogs, right? Dude, tumblr is mostly highly controversial, the reblog encourages that.

[–]Mrcnutty 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Redditors don't get how Tumblr works because we don't have to. Every single Tumblr blog/post/whatever is shown in /r/tumblrinaction. Duh.

[–]ATiredCliche 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

haha, yeah, so many people have this impression. When I show links to popular tumblrs like redbloodedamerica.tumblr.com it blows their minds. Vast majority of tumblrs are like the vast majority of subs- they're for fandoms or hobbies. Not social justice.

Where do we go this time? Last time it was pretty much you were on Digg or you were on Reddit. Now there is only Reddit. Is there some new up and coming site out there?

[–]turdovski 56ポイント57ポイント  (20子コメント)

www.voat.co

At least until that turns into the next digg/reddit...hopefully a long time from now.

[–]bunk3rk1ng 30ポイント31ポイント  (15子コメント)

Well first they would need to invest at least several dollars in some infrastructure. That site is slow as fuck.

[–]lavaisreallyhot 31ポイント32ポイント  (8子コメント)

It probably has to do with the massive influx of new people

[–]bunk3rk1ng 4ポイント5ポイント  (7子コメント)

Well duh, I would think they would be ready for this kind of thing. It's not the first time a big sub has been banned and voat.co has been the recommended alternative.

[–]lavaisreallyhot 15ポイント16ポイント  (5子コメント)

Yeah probably but /r/fatpeoplehate was one of the most active subreddits on reddit, like 3rd or 4th most active (even though it paled in comparison, subscriber-wise, to other subreddits).

[–]ZippityD 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

Really? That's a lot of people. More than the defaults?

[–]lavaisreallyhot 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

No, it had around 150k subs, but it had greater activity than many of the defaults.

So in this list: http://redditlist.com/

It was within top 10 on the left list, the "Recent Activity" list.

Edit: Oh hey, even though it's been banned, it's still ranked 13 in Recent Activity. Look at that.

[–]ryan-ryan 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Literally, the most active.

[–]turdovski 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's run by one guy right now. The more people flock there the more help/funding he might be able to get.

[–]Crackmacs 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

[–]butter14 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

No, it's because of the massive influx of people visiting the site because of these new rules. Reddit is becoming the new Digg.

[–]duglock 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It is getting hit hard by traffic from reddit. It is a new, growing site. I've been on it a few months and it is normally just as fast as reddit.

[–]SnowyGamer 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I've visited this site a few times, and for a complete knock off it sucks. Maybe it's because the user base is so small, but it's so bad.

[–]turdovski 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Reddit was exactly the same in the beginning. Chicken and egg problem, site will suck until more users come, but more users won't come until site doesn't suck.

[–]iTrollYhu 15ポイント16ポイント  (3子コメント)

Come on.. Really? To keep everyone safe? What, do we need a white padded room and jackets now just to make sure we don't accidentally pull a muscle typing or that we don't get hurt because we see our reflection in the screen?

I understand the things about banning homophobic subreddits, that's nothing that can be helped because you don't just choose to be gay. Things like /r/fatpeoplehate should be left alone. Sure, people might not like that idea. No one says that you have to visit there and it's definitely not a default subreddit. Obesity isn't something you're born with, it isn't something to be proud of. You might as well be injecting poison in your body slowly because it's just killing you.

[–]Providentia 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Which is incredibly ironic considering what a shitfit FPH threw if you brought up smoking, which basically is injecting poison into your body and carries a shitton of health risks and costs like obesity does.

[–]iTrollYhu 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

That does sound very stupid. I've only visited that subreddit a few times, so I wasn't familiar with that happening. Pretty weird to not be against both. I know I am.

Cause the majority of users are interested in these harassment and bullying focused subreddits in your eyes? O_o

[–]ThrowawayShitlord777 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

No but the majority of people do not want censorship, the main reason this site got huge in the first place. It isn't about my views or your views, but once one thing gets censored, a lot of stuff gets censored, not only the "hate speech" you are talking about.

[–]AustNerevar 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have to be honest, I kept saying that this was coming, but I guess I just wasn't thinking about what would happen when it did. This website is total shit.

I don't see any anti-female/feminism subs in that list of deleted subs, so I don't understand your comment. FPH was an equal opportunity hate sub for the most part, I believe.

[–]Amannelle 10ポイント11ポイント  (36子コメント)

It was an amazingly encouraging place, imo. They were all in arms against one thing and one thing only-- obesity. They were quick to snuff out any racism, any sexism, any ageism or homophobia. They were quick to uphold and compliment people who overcame their obesity. They simply targeted one thing, and that was HAES.

[–]Sallum 17ポイント18ポイント  (15子コメント)

They were quick to uphold and compliment people who overcame their obesity.

You are joking right? They didn't care if people lost the weight. FPH's motto: once a fatty, always a fatty

And I love how people are forgetting how often people were banned there. So much for free speech.

[–]Lovelandmonkey 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

They still make fun of you if you are still overweight. That's how it works. Once clinically deemed not overweight, you're back in the club. People thanked them for straightening them out.

[–]Amannelle 6ポイント7ポイント  (12子コメント)

I was banned there too for being slightly overweight. Doesn't change the fact that it was a sub that let people express their disgust in a world where they are otherwise powerless to do so. I don't blame them. In fact, I hope to join them as I keep losing weight. They actively congratulated people who lost weight, and even one woman who talked about her cycling routing (once having been made fun of) was being heralded as an "up and coming shitlord" that people hoped to have join them someday.

[–]Melkor_Morgoth 10ポイント11ポイント  (11子コメント)

How heartwarming.

[–]Amannelle 0ポイント1ポイント  (10子コメント)

Haha yeah, it really isn't an encouragement sub. It's nothing like /r/fatlogic, /r/fitness, or /r/loseit

[–]Sallum 2ポイント3ポイント  (5子コメント)

...but you say you hoped to join them.

[–]Amannelle 6ポイント7ポイント  (4子コメント)

It's not an encourageMENT sub, but it was encouraging to me personally, because it gave me a brutally honest look at just how sickening fat culture could be. It made me disgusted with myself, and helped me realize that I need to pay attention to what I'm eating. Everyone there talked about how these people were fat because they were lazy, ate too much, or didn't have any self-respect. It was encouraging to me, because that told me that if I ate better, or did more, I WOULD be fit. It made me realize that I'm not overweight because of something out of my power. I DO have the power to fix this. I DO have the responsibility to myself and to others. It was a really empowering thought, and it has pushed me in a direction towards better health and self-care.

I don't recommend other people go to FPH if they have fragile egos. It helped me because it snapped me out of my delusions with a jolt. It was encouraging to me, but it's not a place of encouragement.

[–]ShaidarHaran2 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

It's nothing like /r/fatlogic

Which was also banned, funny enough

[–]Amannelle 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Not banned, just made private for a bit. :) I love /r/fatlogic.

[–]ShaidarHaran2 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Oh, cool. I wonder if they're wisely ducking out while this ban stuff is going on, only to come back later.

[–]hellshot8 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Except the post that hit the front page there, complementing a gym for not letting in fat people. But yeah, no, they were always helpful

[–]CoolDeal 7ポイント8ポイント  (5子コメント)

They also did things like take a progress pic from a weight loss sub and use that to harass that person. Also took a pic posted in the sewing sub that showed the OP sewing and put that in the fricking sidebar of the sub. They also outright banned anyone trying to make a point against the hate.

[–]Amannelle 10ポイント11ポイント  (3子コメント)

Did they actually harrass those people PERSONALLY? Like, message them, follow them, downvote brigaide them, etc? Talking about it on their own sub is their own business, or are we policing conversations too?

[–]TheKnarkDnight[🍰] -1ポイント0ポイント  (2子コメント)

Honestly I just want to say as someone from an European country with strict laws about your own person (aka no one is allowed to post a picture of you online without consent) it seems so alien to me that they can take these pictures posted and harass them and also put on their sidebar.

[–]Blowsight 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

The photo is already posted online, so re-posting it does not break these consent laws.

[–]tangerine13 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Also, not like it's a point or anything, but I've noticed they mostly ridiculed the ones who didn't make any progress in losing weight but created a comparison photo all the same.

[–]nope_nic_tesla 1ポイント2ポイント  (4子コメント)

Are you serious? I saw multiple posts there where they were making fun of fat people they saw at the gym. There was one recently with over 1000 upvotes. It was literally nothing but a fat person at the gym being made fun of for being fat at the gym. This whole "they are against obesity" thing is bullshit. It was a hate sub for hateful people and nothing more.

[–]Amannelle 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

Oh, I hate those. I always downvoted those ones, unless they were sitting at the gym eating or faking being at the gym (like the ones of Tess Munster who was later found to be lying about working out-- I upvoted that one). But the ones making fun of people who were ACTUALLY trying to lose weight, I would downvote those. Like I said, I hate obesity, but I love people. The sub was encouraging to ME, but it wasn't a sub about encouragement. It made me believe that my weight was my choice, and I had the power to be fit.

[–]quicklypiggly -1ポイント0ポイント  (2子コメント)

This is ridiculous sophistry. There was absolutely nothing encouraging about that place, and this disingenuous promotion of "acceptance" alongside hatred in an attempt to dazzle and confuse the viewer is lazy and uninteresting.

FPH was a terrible place that targeted individuals for mockery at the slight benefit of boosting the incredibly fragile egos of a group of people who seem to think that body image is more important than humanity. It was in fact so cancerous that r/fatlogic--a sub who truly adhered to the anti-HAES purpose that FPH apologists are now claiming--is now private. I had no problem with seeing fatlogic posts on r/all. However, fatpeoplehate was one of the most disgusting, repulsive dens of invective in which I have ever stepped foot. Users were banned immediately for any consideration of the obese as people.

[–]tahlyn 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

We are only temporarily private. We'll be back soon. 150k very angry fathate users wanted to make fatlogic their new home... and it was making moderation a headache.

[–]Amannelle 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think you visited FPH, did you? The people there didn't seem to have any sort of fragile egos in the slightest. To be fair, we know that bullies often have some of the highest self esteem, so that isn't surprising. I found it encouraging because they were consistent... at least with me. I was overweight according to my bmi and waist measurements, so I was banned. It gave me a goal to reach to rejoin them. Now I'll never get to. I do follow /r/fatlogic though. :)

And you can consider obese people as human, but I agree that FPH took it really far with making "defending hams" a bannable offense.

[–]Maria-Stryker 1ポイント2ポイント  (4子コメント)

I only found out about the sub when a blogger I followed explained that photos of her friend had been used without permission. It was after that when I decided to browse the sub for the first and last time. There were a lot of creepshots there. Even if you're being nice, I feel that taking and sharing photos of people without their permission counts as harassment.

[–]Amannelle 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

I personally can't see how it is harrassment when there is nothing linking them to the physical person (no personal information, contact information, nothing but a face-- or even no face, just a body). But I can see where you're coming from. I wonder if they'd allow the sub if it required heavier censoring of identities?

[–]clouds_become_unreal 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

What if a pictured person say, followed a link from an article to find their image the subject of incredible amounts of cruel commentary?

Whether it fits the legal definition of harassment or not, you can't see that as anything but unnecessary and hurtful in the extreme.

[–]Amannelle 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

True.... you make a really good point. I'm trying to think of how people would be able to have a public forum of some kind while still being able to vent without hurting anyone who might be mentioned. I can't really think of anything other than some skillful face or identity censoring, but even then it could be identifiable. I guess this is the dilemma of an era where everyone can see practically everything.

[–]clouds_become_unreal 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

/r/fatpeoplehate was not venting. It was mean-spirited ego boosting. No one needs to "vent" about a stranger's appearance.

[–]funkybassmannick 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think I was banned from /r/feminism because of my username. Seriously, I make one super neutral post, and SHWOOP. Banned.

What if it comes down to someone really high up in reddit is really fat and just didn't like the sub. I'm not sure I would be surprised at this point.

This is about as sensible as saying that r/shitniggersay was removed because there must be a black person on the staff, implying that it was not removed because it is a horrible place that flies in the face of established societal strictures.

I can understand why the homophobic communities might have been removed (still, free speech?), but fatpeoplehate? Obesity is 99% of the time a lifestyle choice. Sexuality is not. Why are they being protected?

The other subs were only removed as a distraction. They all had so few readers that nobody knew or cared about them. This is completely about FPH

FPH had 150k+ subscribers. The second biggest sub that was banned had 3071.

[–]Zokhraso 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

And that second biggest sub was meant as a backup for when FPH was banned.

[–]TheKnarkDnight[🍰] 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Coontown has 10,000+ and the admins just ignored it and claimed like FPH was the only major discrimatory sub.

Because this is just the start. They are probably going to implement a lot of stupid shit this summer, essentially destroying their site.

[–]AustNerevar 6ポイント7ポイント  (5子コメント)

Fat People Hate is really a terrible subreddit...doesn't mean it should have been banned, however.

Most of the times I've tried to explain eating disorders to somebody from FPH, I get called a fatty. Seriously, any valid point you might have is met with ad hominems. It's like trying to debate an SJW, it's pointless.

[–]LightBetweenMirrors 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

Users on FPH more than likely understand eating disorders, but they're probably disillusioned with the masses of obese people who erroneously label their laziness and justify their lifestyles with "I have an eating disorder".

99% of the time, these people are just eating too much. And differences in metabolic TDEEs are NOT to blame. They vary maybe, at most, 20% from person to person.

[–]AustNerevar 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

You're giving them way too much credit. I don't approve of censoring them at all and this whole thing is frankly disgusting, but I don't have much sympathy for the majority of users there. They exhibit the same ad hominem-based/zealous fervor that I see from SJWs.

[–]LightBetweenMirrors 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Agreed, most of their comments and content are simply gratuitous, unproductive, and unnecessary. /r/fatlogic is a bit better with regards to being PC.

I suppose I'm just a bit annoyed at the censorship reddit is seeing lately. It's concerning.

Edit: /r/fatlogic is apparently gone, now, too. Edit2: Not gone, in hiding for the time being. Thanks tahlyn.

It's more than concerning, it's outright obscene. Go to /r/fatpeoplehate and you'll be told that it's been banned to "keep everyone safe". The pieces of shit responsible aren't even fucking hiding it anymore and they don't give a flying fuck about their userbase. Remember when Reddit blacklisted SOPA? Expect to never see that kind of thing again.

Reddit has whored itself out and I think it's time to finally jump ship.

Fucking /r/neofag wasn't even a harassing sub. They were banned simply because they're affiliated with GamerGate. Meanwhile, /r/gamerghazi, /r/shitredditsays, and /r/subredditdrama all remain.

Fatlogic is temporarily set to private. 150k very angry fatpeoplehate users decided that fatlogic was the next beset place to call home. They weren't exactly thrilled that we aren't welcoming their hatred (fat hate has always been prohibited on fatlogic). Moderation was becoming a headache.

We'll be back when things calm down a bit.

Having sex or attempting to live as another gender are just as much lifestyle choices as eating too much and exercising too little.

[–]Amannelle 4ポイント5ポイント  (9子コメント)

That is a good point, but other people don't suffer from transexual or transgender people. Having to reengineer facilities to accomodate extra-large people, capacity decreasing on transportation, clothing sizes becoming larger and larger (and harder to find for skinnier people), healthcare costs skyrocketing, productivity declining, not to mention the entire culture around HAES and the bodyshaming it constantly does at fit and skinny people. The whole thing is an issue that will only keep growing (no pun intended). Even though I still classify as overweight (and am working to become fit again day by day) I REALLY appreciated FPH. It was an excellent source of motivation for me and my mum, and it really made me realize how skewed my own personal view of "healthy" was.

You're forgetting the biggie -- preventable, obesity related disease costs the healthcare system $150 billion per year. That's $10 billion more than the entire federal education budget. Just so people can stuff their faces with shitty food.

[–]richard_m_lurkmoar2 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

that's a really interesting figure - is there a source for that? i'd like to tell other people and have a source to point to.

$150 B seems to be conservative.

Here's another interesting point:

Thompson and colleagues concluded that, over the course of a lifetime, per-person costs for obesity were similar to those for smoking. (10)

If we can culturally shame obesity as we did with smoking, not necessarily shame obese people, but obesity itself, we can hopefully prevent the unfettered growth in its populational rates.

I see your point is pretty good and well thought out, but there ARE issues when it comes to things like restrooms and the astronomical amount of diseases in the gay community, not to mention those that are "bug chasers".

[–]exvampireweekend 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

I don't think it's about who is the right victim to harass or not, it's the harassing in general, "but it's their fault they are being harassed" isn't a good excuse.

Biology is still a factor in obesity. Messing with the gut flora seems to be able to cause obesity. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-31168511

Of course you can look at how obesity rates have changed over time and see there's more than just what people are born with that's changed. But 99% I think is a stretch.

Well, it's not free speech on a privately owned website. They (reddit) can censor however they want. Free speech is only covered against the government.

[–]Lolicon_King 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Did they remove the number of up/down votes on the side? Last I saw it was like 145 up/7000 down. But now it just says 50% upvoted

[–]bildramer 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah, that's old news. There was massive uproar then, too (literally none of the top comments were agreeing with the decision), but the admins ignored that too. Look up (?|?).

[–]Lolicon_King 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

No not the comment up/down but the thread points on the side at the top. Like this thread has 201 upvotes out of 209 votes total.

Reminder to all those saying ban SRS, it's a shadow of its former self and everyone there wised up when bans came for bridging. You want to know where they all went? /r/SubredditDrama.

Enough is enough. Reddit was started to be a free and open site to communicate with others not a place that was constantly being monitored by admins that can actively ban any sub without notice.

Sure these subs suck ass, add nothing to the conversation and a generally bad places to visit but I would rather them exist then face admonishment of my first amendment rights ability to express myself freely.

This is how it starts people. I've been a redditor for over 5 years, made thousands of posts and I'm fucking done. I'm actively looking for another community.

We are temporarily private. The influx of 150k very angry fat-haters who wanted to make fatlogic their new home (when we explicitly ban fat hate) made for some chaotic times. We'll be open again when things die down.

One big reasons why reddit won over digg was the fact that you can isolate your self by unsubbing from annoying subreddits and go to places where it aligned with your interests.

That is no longer true. Reddit is becoming digg, curated content according to some agenda.

FPH was making a habit of brigading and not isolating itself. That ban was justified. I never heard of the others so I can't make judgments on it.

I hope they remove both AMAs from Westboro Baptist Church as well.

The usernames they used are /u/GodSentCTShooter and /u/WBCMembers.

I just want to say that someone posting with the username /u/GodSentCTShooter I'd ban them on sight. That kind of shitty username alone is a reddiquette violation.

I still can't believe the /r/IAmA mods let them come back a second time.

But hey, letting /u/shittywatercolour do an AMA... or any hobbyists for that matter... that's a bridge too far.

I am guessing now that reddit wouldn't allow such an AMA to take place under these new rules.

Then again FPH was literally reposting videos of fat people that had been removed for bullying by other subs.

Reposting videos other subs had removed for bullying.

Behavior like that its not surprising they got banned.

What in the god damned fuck. Good bye reddit, this is a god damned load of horse shit. Listen, so what they're making fun of people, whatever happened to the days where I could say whatever where ever and as long as it wasn't illegal nobody cared. And to top it off, they didn't ban any of the bestiality, incest or gore subs? This site can go fuck itself.

Jesus, guys. They haven't censored anything with any value. It's all inflammatory hate speech. (except neofag which seems like it could've been a mistake based on the name?)

This is a "ban the douchebags" initiative, not a new regime of fascism. It'll blow over and not mutate beyond that. I hope.
