Remember when the previous CEO said this?.....

We will not ban questionable subreddits. You choose what to post. You choose what to read. You choose what kind of subreddit to create and what kind of rules you will enforce. We will try not to interfere - not because we don't care, but because we care that you make your choices between right and wrong.

WTF went wrong?

Alright, I'm going to go three quarters RIDF here.

I disagree with the banning of FPH, but they've done some pretty horrible shit, like the mod endorsed harassment of some autistic girl for being fat whilst sewing a dress. /r/Tranfags was also banned a couple of months ago when some of their mods were going to doxx in the modmail, but I guess they were allowed to have their sub back before being banned again.

I have no idea why /r/NeoFAG and /r/ShitNiggersSay were banned.

Hopefully the admins will reallow the subs, but with clearer rules on what constitutes "allowing communities to harass individuals".

Here's a quote from two hours ago by admin "krispykrackers" which I can't link to and am too lazy to archive:

When we are using the word "harass", we're not talking about "being annoying" or vote manipulation or anything. We're talking about men and women whose lives are being affected and worry for their safety every day, because people from a certain community on reddit have decided to actually threaten them, online and off, every day. When you've had to talk to as many victims of it as we have, you'd understand that a brigade from one subreddit to another is miles away from the harassment we don't want being generated on our site.

To my ears, that sounds almost word for word like the language that's been used to target GamerGate. Given that the media narrative that's been spun around GamerGate is that it's all a giant conspiracy to threaten and attack women, I would bet money that this sub is one of those that will be specifically targeted for the next wave of bans. In fact, I think we're one of the primary targets, and the only reason we weren't the first to go was because they thought the agenda would fly better if they banned some really indefensible subs like ShitNiggersSay first.

[–]sgx191316 27ポイント28ポイント  (1子コメント)

We're talking about men and women whose lives are being affected and worry for their safety every day

Paranoid people worry about their safety all the time. People whose livelihood depends on being seen as victims claim to worry about their safety all the time. Neither of those things have to do with ACTUAL danger. We're essentially on the hook for something we have absolutely no control over, which needn't reflect any actual danger or even any actual fear, and which is purely self-reported by people who hate us.

Krispykrackers makes me worry about my safety every day. Prove me wrong.

Calm down everybody. The ban seems to be triggered by an admins photo posted after a fight over imgur homepage that removed their pics. So this can be against the distribution of personal informations of a private person, very basic Reddit rule. They shot themselves on the foot with their post.

    What they should be worried about isn't that they'll lose the bulk of their users. Their worry should be that they'll lose the bulk of their content creators. They have to regularly rotate default subreddits because defaults always go to shit, because of the consumption time/production time of low quality content versus high quality content.

    Without a strong base of middle-sized subreddits to rotate through, site quality begins to degrade pretty badly over time, and the people making the mid-sized subreddits are the most likely to move over to voat, since they're not as phased by smaller communities, and might actually be attracted to them.

    Admins might try to use the recent /r/planetside drama.

    [–]Landeyda 41ポイント42ポイント  (2子コメント)

    They could, but it was an image post without any direct links. Also most of the 'brigading' was done by /r/all, along with members of the Planetside community.

    But, yeah, that could be used as a very weak excuse.

    Someone posted a picture of their Planetside cosplay. People called him/her a trap (the crossdressing kind). Moderator started banning a bunch of people. One person asked to be unbanned, mod tells him to write a 500 word essay on transproblems. People went nuts and the KiA thread on it got the front page of /r/all.

    The KiA thread.

    Some people on /r/planetside are blaming KiA for brigading.

    still are, I just popped in there a few minutes ago and it's currently full of mental gymnastics on how we are all of course, transphobes and misogynists.

    I've been subbed to Planetside for a long while and saw the whole thing go down. I didn't start voting until I saw the modmails. In which case I will admit. I went through and upvoted all the criticism and downvoted the shitty responses. But that was my right as a user of reddit to express my opinion. Not my action as a brigader.

    Just for people who may not know, the unwritten rule KiA is not allowed to post companies public contact information. Gamergate was doing that not for harassment but to let companies know that if they valued our dollars advertising on certain sites was a waste of their money.

    Reddit admin and founder Alexis Ohanian (kn0thing) about a week later broke that rule, thus confriming it only applied to us.

    Here is the thing, I'll use Github as an allegory.

    Github, beginning with the efforts of a single SJW employee, decided GG was to radical to be there. Now we have GitGud, a GG made repository that doesn't have to adhere to the same rules it was abiding by at Github.

    Now, just how stupid would you have to be to push perceived idealogical enemies off of your site where you can, to some extent, control them, to a place where that you cant? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, you know?

    Banning KiA would be a masterstroke of idiocy.

    Take this with a grain of salt since I'm posting as anonymously as I can...:

    I ended up in a position where I hold a very large sway over a large/rich company's next source control tooling. Github Enterprise was on the table, but I nixed it in favor of Gitlab/Others just because of the bullshit they pulled with the GG repository. There is always a chance we would have not gone with it even if it was on the table, but it removed the chance of giving them $100k+ and a multi year support contract.

    For those unfamiliar with GamerGate or who might be aGG reading this, I want to point out, the KiA community is concerned about being banned, not because it endorses harassment, but because GG have been discriminated and slandered against, LABELED as harassment with out substantial evidence to support it (because the allegations are false)

    Nerd Cubed recently graphed the topics discussed on KotakuInAction which CLEARLY show there is no harassment ever discussed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlPLEf5z-g4

    [–]princetrunks 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Yep, I was a regular on Digg before Reddit. Being that Reddit did manage to get larger than Digg ever was it will still take more time but I remember still being on Digg and watching the ghost town the comments became as everyone moved to Reddit.

    Now's a great time for a forum/post site to come out and open the doors for the influx of people; given that they have modern site features, old forum openness and of course drop the SJW narrative (but still give a place for anyone on any side). There's Voat and 8chan but I think the door is open for other sites to catch what for Reddit will be a downward spiral.

    Hell, big sites like YouTube recently crapping on animators for example is bringing some new life back to Newgrounds.com of all places.

    No matter how big a site gets, as you said, the user content based ecosystem can be delicate if messed with. Take it from somebody who started a site in 2002 that could have been so much bigger had I followed through...hubris in those who mod/admin these sites is a cancer and could turn a once good thing into a pile of crap. We've seen it from Digg, Kotaku, Neogaf, imgur, various subreddits, theGuardian, 4chan and others and will probably see more. They need not forget who are the site's traffic & lifeblood.

I'm sure he's noticed the traffic spike, the traffic and bandwidth use there has been going up by 400% from month to month so this isn't unexpected. He'll need to call his cloud provider and shell out some cash for the upgrade. By tomorrow I expect it'll be fine again. I suspect performance tuning is about to take a front seat on his agenda.

    One only needs to go to /subredditdrama to see how the vast majority of users there not only wish for the banning of KiA but completely buy into the narrative of this being a "neo-nazi, hateful, sexist, racist bigoted" sub. The reason i bring SRD up is because they have a lot of influence(possibly more then any other sub on reddit), and their minds are quite set on many issues. As of the banning of /r/fatpeoplehate SRD has now 15000 active users there, receiving one side of the narrative.

    Since this sub's creation, I haven't posted here, for some kind of bizarre fear that my post history would get stalked and I would be some kind of Reddit pariah for the mere fact of browsing a sub. I've followed all of the news, though. I would like to identify myself here as one of the silent supporters of gamergate in anticipation that fairly soon, my Reddit account won't matter, because I (and most everyone else I would care to interact with here) will have abandoned the site. I've already had reactionary_bot called on me in the tf2 sub for an unrelated issue, and I'm just about done with hiding from people on this stupid fucking site.

    Keep digging, keep finding somewhere to go, and I'll keep following. I know there are plenty of people that will do the same.

    To be honest, I welcome reddit's self induced implosion.

    Reddit is not special. It is a message board. It is little evolved from the USENET in all honesty. Sure, it's more interactive, etc. but this software technology we're using here isn't exactly mind-blowing. It's not particularly advanced, it could be done better. Maybe now is a good time for someone to do it better? Reddit could disappear like a fart in the breeze.

    Rant: time and time again, KiA strongly discouraged brigading and harassment. GG has helped with charities and some of its most vocal supporters are those who fall under NotYourShield. After raising money for a disabled mother, encouraging women in the tag without making their gender as a token, helping raise money for a gang rape victim, & forming friendships with one another, how the fuck does one go into GG and think "wow, what a bunch of harassers. They hate women!!!"

    Every single time the conversation turns to ethics, a random nobody comes in and seeks to cash in on the easy PR GG comes with as a result of the "won't somebody think of the women and children!!!" paranoia of media.

    If KiA mods double down on modding these next few days, making sure the basic rules are being followed while being fair, I think KiA will be just fine. AND if KiA gets banned anyway, think about the media firestorm. SJW news outlet will try to celebrate but the gg tag will go nuts. More people will see, more people will support us.

    Do remember your subreddit's supposed stance on brigading, and how you all had a nice sticky last year telling you to not do so.

    [–]AntonioOfVeniceKarma King of late April 2015 35ポイント36ポイント  (5子コメント)

    What counts as 'harassment'? These faggot admins haven't even defined what brigading means, so why would we think that they are going to use any consistent definition for 'harassment'?

    They won't. They'll use it to ban subreddits they don't like.

    [–]GG_MeowIt's about meowthics 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Well, think of harassment how SJW's think of it; calling them out on their fucking mental rants about the patriarchy and the undercurrent of racism, that seems to pass any kind of standard definition of racism. Everyone else's idea of harassment is a sustained campaign of contacting people when it is not wanted, telling them to kill themselves and other things of that nature. The redefining of words by SJW's sickens me to no end.

    [–]mrplow8 9ポイント10ポイント  (16子コメント)

    Personally, I think we should just look for a new site to use. I think it's only a matter of time before they find some excuse to ban KIA no matter what we do. I recommend moving to a Google+ group, since most people already have a G+ account anyway because it's the same as your YouTube account.

    [–]HeadHoffer 17ポイント18ポイント  (1子コメント)

    I don't really like the idea of a common Google+ group because it takes away too much of our anonymity, which happens to be one of our greatest assets against the SJWs.

    I guess I'll be creating a new account for voat when the site comes back up then. Let miss Pao nuke this place for all I care, it won't stop us, it'll actually give us more freedom from the corrupt admins.

    Google+ group is a good idea, but like last time i'll suggest gamergate.community.

    I also don't think Gamergate will be banned here, this is a containment sub after all. So I won't worry like last time.

    [–]mrplow8 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Like I said, a Google+ group would be my suggestion. Most people already have G+ accounts, so it'd make the transition easier than if we pick a site where everyone has to make a new account.

    I don't know if it's paranoia. It's like they don't care about saying there's no freedom. They're outright just doing it when they shadowban people and then other power mods asking for essays and crap. This sub's very likely to get banned since we've a few things that go against the ideas of "no harassment." If we end up banned here, watch subreddits against what we're for remain unbanned.

    [–]motherbrain111 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

    [–]cantbebothered67835 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

    Enough of this voat shit. The whole gist behind a gamergate sub on reddit is that here we get a ton of visibility and traffic, precisely because reddit is huge.

    Furthermore, if you guys, the mods, are contemplating watering down KiA to remain in the good graces of the admins, then maybe KiA getting banned is not such a bad idea. The absolute worst thing that can happen to the gamergate community is a slow death brought in by mounting impotence and abiding to our enemies' attempt at restricting us.

    The whole reason this sub has existed for so long was that the admins wanted a place to contain us. They were right to fear the implications of hundreds of thousands of GG supporters running around willy-nilly on reddit, posting our dangerous and incorrect ideas. Weather or not they are planning to ban kia, it's all to our advantage; if they don't, we still have a unified hub to do our own thing. If they do, then the entirety of reddit is going to be gamergate central.

    The only danger is letting them water us down or, worse yet, us doing that for them. This is a situation where "you have nothing to fear but fear itself" is perfectly applicable.

    [–]kiwikku 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

    I think the key is that we need to start demanding that they tell us, concretely, what constitutes "harassment."

    I doubt there is a single subreddit with more than 1,000 subscribers that couldn't, somehow, be accused of "harassment."

    [–]Soupias 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Well, if they ban the sub I will just move somewhere else. I do not like being censored so I will find another place to frequent. It is not like reddit is a monopoly or something. I will continue speaking up my mind and if someone gets triggered they can ban me to protect their precious little feelings.

    I am just happy that I find this whole sjw attitude in reddit and nowhere to be seen in real life, at least where I live. They can have their safe place but they will have to operate with less than 10% of the current user base. I just hope alternative sites will have the capacity to accommodate the mass exodus. I am not talking just about our sub. There are going to be many more people leaving.

    [–]RoryTateOG³: GamerGate Chief Morale Officer 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    A well considered and thoughtful post. A ban on KIA is a possibility, but any reasonable person should see that our behaviour and activities don't fall within the guidelines currently being used to ban subs. However -- and this is why I put an emphasis on the word "reasonable" -- since there is a very big target on this community, I believe a corrupt process for banning subs could easily make this happen with no other justification than "everyone knows that sub was about harassment".

    <sigh> I guess all that will remain then is to point out the inconsistency in the application of the rules, unfortunately. It's very frustrating when there is evidence we have of other subs doing this kind of thing right out in the open, but they get a pass because "safe spaces" is actually a dog whistle term for something completely different.

    I'll be interested to see if some of the subs that actually do target and harass (but are friendly or popular with admins/mods) get banned, or at least have their rules and enforcement brought into agreement with this policy. That will be a fair indicator of what this really means.
