Does this mean, we don’t have to follow certain rules and we can conduct massive raid reddit operation? We can literally do that since there is no rule about that.

    Turns out there’s lots of stuff Reddit admins don’t like you saying

    • Death to all slave owners
    • Nazis get the pit
    • Founding a social website posturing as a free speech space so that you can facilitate child pornography rings is bad and makes you deserving of painful death

    You know, stuff like that. Stuff they have a personal stake in.

      At this point it genuinely wouldn’t surprise me if that was one of reddit’s intended purposes

        Reddit was actually really good back in the day when digg shit the bed. But then it got too popular and it became a target of astroturfing from mostly Western anglo countries who identified it as a prime tool for modern viral propaganda.

            yeah, the good old days when r/JailBait was on the front page every single day and nobody did anything about it until the media found out

        At the very least, they knew about it early on and did the bare minimum that they were legally and financially obligated to. Their pivot as a startup may as well have been banning r/jailbait

        Yes, making money off degenerates is definitely intended
