Thry allowed the jailbait subreddit for years, nearly subreddit of the year at one point. It was a subheader for reddit on google even. Big news report? Now its gone.
They allowed Fatpeoplehate for years. One of the most active subs on the site, and absolutely poisoned the rest of it with their rhetoric. Then they went after some imgur staff and got banned with the quickness... and a few months later you could host your images on reddit. The lines there aren't too difficult to read between.
The_Donald was allowed to be shit for years, but once Trump was on his way out, then they banned it.
reddit operates reactively, not proactively.
Cause companies like twitter, facebook, and reddit love right wing extremists.
They post a lot, click lots of ads, and are heavily engaged. Far more than any left winger.
They are the honey pot from which the money flows. So they get the special treatment and protection.
Which is why its so funny when they cry about persecution and victimhood. Cause anyone else doing what they do online would have not only been banned years ago, they'd probably get regular visits from police and possibly even arrested for things like "Terroristic threats"
The only time they face any punishment whatsoever is when they go ridiculously overboard, like actively planning an attack on the fucking capitol building and the attempted assassination of political leaders they disagree with.. and even then, its a slap on the wrist compared to what any other group of people who tried to do the same would face
Reddit had a sub called r/sexwithdogs for a while too. It was exactly that, I thought it was a joke and clicked it once. It was not.
They had a group of subs for a fair while early on collectively known as the chimpire, and no, they werent fans of curious george.
Omigod.
I was there before HydroHomies renamed itself to that. I was also there for the /weed implosion, and resulting /trees opening, only for actual arborists to show up a couple months later, and snarkily opened /marijuanaenthusiasts
sexyabortions was one
also a hell of a lot of subreddits having to do with black people. the subreddit for hating fat people was banned before the subreddit for hating black people if you can believe that
