Today reddit rolled out its new anti harrassment campaign and banned 5 subreddits with it, including fatpeoplehate.

1 subreddit I created and 1 subreddit I modded were among the 5 subreddits banned.

This isn't going over well and will backfire IMO. This is reddit's first step from being a place of open ideas and free speech to a Stalinist censorship hellhole

Oh man. /Fatpeoplehate is a huge one. I'm not on reddit but I know some people who go on there for a laugh. I bet Tess Holliday is responsible.

You started this thread to brag that you are a part of 2 of the 5 subs that were banned. That's if you actually had anything to do with them, which I doubt. But congrats buddy

I don't understand how taking unsolicited pictures of people just to passive aggressively make fun of them on the internet is a free speech issue when it's done on a privately owned forum.

Rejoicing because Reddit no longer has a place to poke fun of you at?
