Beginning of the end of the site, my friends

Reddit sold itself out to the SJW and media hivemind and incomes the one sided censorship and thought policing

5 subs got the boot last week, and now /r/CoonTown, a sub that followed all the rules of the site, is now gone.

Cant wait to see the site die and go the way of Digg

I'd still like to know how it ever became popular. That site is an eyesore.

Why not? /r/CoonTown has been the litmus test and center of attention for the past month and was the bellweather on the direction reddit is going in terms of censorship

Now that it is banned its a matter of time before "less offensive" subs get banned

The Internet is taken really seriously. You know what'll happen when reddit dies, as all things eventually do? Another site will pop up.
