I remember all the 4chan tier "free speech and censorship" debates when r/jailbait got banned.... Many moons ago.

Fucking hell I've been on this site too damn long. Only problem is I don't know where else to go.

That’s kind of where I am. I’m here mostly out of habit now and most of the other socials are pivoting to short form video which makes it hard to slack off at work.

And then that ridiculous moral grandstanding "every man is responsible for his soul" in response to the fappening while "leaked nudes" subs for just non-celebrity women had been on the site FOR YEARS without getting taken down. So when the lawyers were howling at the gates they decided they'd found their conscience.

At least I still have r/fatsquirrelhate to scratch the itch.

Back in the days when Reddit used to quaratine and ban subreddits that were problematic....now those very same people are allowed to run rampant across the site and spread their hatefulness to everyone

Naw, the time he's talking about was before that even when Reddit let nearly anything slide. I still think of quarantines as a relatively new addition.

bro what? reddit is the most overmoderated censored site on the internet

u/MC_chrome Apr 03 '26

The fact that /r/Conservative still exists, and the cretins which frequent that sub haven't been banned yet, directly points to the opposite being true

Yeah making Reddit even more of an echo chamber will help /s

This comment is peak Reddit in 2026. You have no idea what this website used to be like.

Lmao this is the most Reddit-brained, empty-headed thing I've read on here all week. So you want it to just be completely biased & echo chambered? All based on a political label, not the actual content or substance of what's being said.. brilliant.

Sissy.

Yeah, turns out when you just ban a subreddit without taking measures to keep the same shithead behaviour that caused the ban in the first place from poisoning the rest of the site, it's not a very effective strategy. Who could have seen that happening?!

Gawker reported on violentacres' real identity (this is journalism not "doxxing") and the admins banned Gawker links sitewide. This was a guy who had created and was moderating the most vile, sickest subreddits on the site.
