Reddit banned some subreddits & pissed off hundreds of thousands of people

[ShadowsfeaR]

Well the only reason you'd try and "police" our insults is because you care and it affected you directly. It's kind of pathetic you're trying to do it too. "JEEZ USE MORE RELEVANT INSULTS PROCURED BY MY WONDERFUL WEBSITE, IN THE MEANTIME, CHECK OUT MY DANK MEEEEEEMES."

an image that has... no conclusive evidence as to srs brigading

and a post full of topic that are over 2 years old





you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel aren't you.

you literally posted one image. of an after-ban brigade. a mass exodus.

there is definitely correlation, and moreover, plenty of readily available evidence.


this one is from a year ago http://www.reddit.com/r/SRSsucks/comments/1yhswb/a_brief_compilation_of_srs_private investigating_brigading_and/

5months, though it got retaliation brigaded and upvote brigaded after. http://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/2rzli9/top_comment_on_a_front_page_post_is_linked_to_by/

9 days ago, though it got voted back up after the brigade. http://www.reddit.com/r/SRSsucks/comments/385byl/srs_hits_a_weekold_thread_on_sweden_vote_brigades/

and a post by the gtav subreddit mods giving concrete evidence of brigading by fph. alright that was alt but it still counts.

literally no concrete evidence. and once again, srs didn't post pictures of encourage harassment of r/fatpeoplehate mods. you're comparing apples to oranges.

[Kimon²]

on a related note

[Donro98]

SRS encouraging harassment of fph mods is irrelevant. I'm showing evidence of brigading. Sure the mods didn't go "BRIGADE THEM!" but the subreddit is one that encourages that kind of behavior, and obviously the safeguards are not effective enough.

I know you love tumblr which its fair share of memes, but when you go posting something

step 2: delete all meme-related subreddits
step 3: delete reddit

you had to be shown the irony

Pretty much in every argument all my posts server either 1 or 2 things. One would be to defend something I believe in, the other to create change what I think is a positive change.

In every argument no wants to believe they are a villain, every seems themselves as a crusader for a good cause. I've often had long arguments with SeventhSandwhich for example over just everything ranging from conspiracies, to abortion, and gmos. I don't hate the guy or seek to go hurting him every chance I see him, but every time we had those large threads were fighting and defending our beliefs. He's got his heart in the right place and if anything, he has made me think back reevaluate some of my beliefs.

I don't want to see you roast, I want you to look at yourself and just evaluate the situation and decide if you want to change the situation or not. I believe in freedom and that only oneself can make a change, no one else. So I am showing you how I see you and how the community might see you. I'm not going to ask you to stop being this, but I hope you make the proper judgment to turn this situation around.

you're making this too damn complicated. i said delete reddit because it was a joke in a thread about reddit, then you said tumblr because Lol Kimon's Likes Tumblr, and believe me, we all know that Kimon posting is a go-ahead to make an obnoxious and irrelevant reference to tumblr

[SeventhSandwich]

What's your argument here, Kimon? I don't think anyone here disputes the fact that those banned subreddits were full of terrible people. However, what do you hope to accomplish by banning those subreddits besides setting as precedence for banning more content on the basis of ethical preference?

Like, I can understand having a little bit of animosity towards people who are starfishs, but banning their subreddits isn't going to cause them to re-evaluate their views.

are you referring to the right man in this post because i assure you i do not care about that argument

[Harm94]

Then which argument do you care about? What brought you hear and what is driving you to go on? What do you hope to accomplish?

Hey, people don't like Tumblr here. It's for good reason too.
