  • If you want something changed on Reddit, pass it on to the press. Back in the day they let sexually suggestive material of minors on their site because it gathered clicks. Did you guys forget r/jailbait?

    They only stopped it when one of the mods got doxxed and it was reported in news articles.

    I repeat: Reddit stopped pedo shit only because it generated negative attention.

    I’m sure there are enough journalists out there who would love to write about Reddit allowing SA material on their website.

    You don’t have to censor the F word. Swearing is actually mandatory here.

    As for an actual answer: The company itself? Yes, absolutely! Them trying to become advertiser friendly at any cost combined with some of the dumbest and user unfriendly decisions drive the site more and more into the dirt. The very fact that we are continuously growing with each wave following some fuck up on their site is proof enough. The users are trying to resurrect motherfucking Digg for crying out loud! They rather commit cyber necromancy than putting up with Reddits shit!

    Anyway, welcome. Feel free to shitpost.



  • I completely agree with you. And I want to make one thing clear: I hope Goebbels, or any other Nazis, last hours on earth have been agonisingly painful in every form possible. Seeing them crispy makes me happy.

    But, and this is a pretty big but, there are people out there who lost loved ones in fires and stuff like this might trigger them and cause unnecessary pain. While “humans well done” don’t bother me much, there are topics that drive me up the wall especially when it comes out of nowhere.

    So while I can at least understand where (whatever his name was, I honest to god already forgot about him) their reaction came from, I also think it is important to show people the horrors of the last century. Because like you already said, politely talking about it in a SFW fashion clearly didn’t work.
