The Silk Road penalty was moronic. Now, online dealers have that much more reason to kill everyone who can implicate them.

Here's the Fappening story.

That would strike me as one of their tamer subreddits.

Looks like they deleted most of the subreddits that popped up today. /r/all only has a few threads about the ordeal.

Sucks because Reddit was mostly free speech without the bullshite you get on 4chan. Oh well. At least there is the OT.

WILL REDDIT REVOLT AGAINST ELLEN PAO?




quote:

When failed discrimination plaintiff Ellen Pao was appointed CEO of Reddit last January, many predicted that it would herald a new age of censorship on the link-sharing and discussion site. Those predictions appear to have come true, as a number of communities on the site (known as “subreddits”) have just been unilaterally shut down.


quote:

The crackdown came after a week of censorship on Reddit, including the mass deletions of links to media stories and even satirical cartoons concerning CEO Ellen Pao. There was also a bizarre incident in which a moderator of a gaming community demanded a user write a 500-word essay on trans acceptance before being unbanned. The user’s crime was using the word “trap”: a common, but not derogatory, term of Internet slang to describe crossdressers. Despite protestations from transwomen who said they were not offended, the moderator refused to relent.


She previously filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against her previous employer.

quote:

Ellen Pao, interim chief executive of Reddit, has lost her “landmark” gender discrimination case against venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins. Pao had alleged that the firm denied her a promotion and eventually fired her on account of her gender. But after deliberating for more than two days, a jury of six men and six women dismissed all charges brought by Pao against the firm.

The reddit enhancement suite for chrome or Firefox makes reddit extremely useable.

The biggest active user website there is thats in the top 30 in global internet traffic.Reddit hardly has any ads. They're mad because reddit is suppose to be a libertarian platform but they've been steadily banning sub forums that wont agree with potential sponsors.
TLDR
Reddit gonna make some bank

Looks like the threads are getting deleted now. But, Reddit has threads on the front page similar to the OT having threads on the OT page. On reddit's front page though, threads can be from any of the thousands of subreddits, which are like TD's MSB and outdoor board and stuff.

Looks like one of the subreddits was called Fatpeoplehate....but it got banned by whoever runs reddit I guess. People got all mad and made toms of Fatpeoplehate threads and stuff and liked it voted them to the front page.

The front page of reddit is always filled with really interesting shite, but for a while today was filled with 100% Fatpeoplehate stuff.

I think that's what happened.

Reddit is a piece of shite site. The design encourages echo-chambers and, as evidenced, is ran by SJW pussies.

4chan wins again.
