They'll either ban it, or the jannies will cave and allow it to be turned into a leftist circlejerk.

The same thing happened to r/smuggies - they banned that, but r/smugideologyman exists and is full of leftists posting smuggies about "MAGA chuds".

Reddit is (supposedly, foolishly) planning an IPO pretty soon, and having your website usurped by a cabal of jannies on NGO and corpo payrolls to ban subreddits they dislike for political reasons negatively impacts your company's valuation.
Banning wrongthink on your own terms is one thing, having it dictated to you by your users implies your site is a bad investment because a bunch of tranny jannies can throw it into disarray at whim.

EDIT: This take certainly aged well, lol

Reddit is going to be one of those sites that sells for 10 billion and is worth $43 a couple of years later

Right authoritarianism is (at least nominally) to protect the children. Left authoritarianism is to protect the child-predator troons.

I don't like authoritarianism in any guise, but I know which I'd prefer between those two.

What's weird about it though is that about every 30 minutes to an hour, I get a new message about this as yet another account was yeeted. I don't know how this works, but it doesn't seem like an automated system; surely it would have taken place quicker if it was an automated system. Instead, it seems like my accounts are literally being tracked down manually. If that's the case, and I'm hoping some more website-savvy kiwi might be able to clarify, my sides will be in fucking orbit as it means me saying child rapists should be executed literally triggered a Reddit admin so bad that they are tracking down every Reddit account I ever touched to delete it

Were these accounts on separate machines/VMs? If not then chances are you've probably got cookies in your browser that mark each of your accounts. At a guess they may have a process in place to look for machines that report multiple cookies (i.e. indicating this machine was used by multiple accounts). It would be a simple SQL query. It's possible they're being banned manually, or it could just be that emails confirming your bans are queuing up and being delayed (including delays from passing through your ISP's craptastic spam filters).

This is why if you're going to run multiple accounts you must always, Always, ALWAYS...
1. Use a different email address
2. Isolate any cookies (preferably by running the whole thing in a container/VM)

It is bordering on a weird reputation that's for sure. Most people who aren't old and explore the net would know what Reddit is and when social media is mentioned on the internet chances that Reddit will be one of them alongside Twitter and Facebook. Yet, few journos take stuff from Reddit compared to the other two sites. Maybe it's because it's more "anonymous" than other sites and pretty much anyone there could lie especially with the karma system. That and maybe the format of the whole site turns away anyone else, I guess.

Well Twitter lends itself to short sound bites, and has APIs for embedding tweets into a site that wishes to quote them. Makes it really easy for journos to report on what's said on it. Facebook has better support for longer posts, but still lends itself to sound bites a lot of the time. It's API isn't as good for embedding as Twitters, but it's useful enough, plus there's a lot of general integration for advertising purposes on Facebook. Reddit largely lacks in those departments. It's designed to link to places, not for specific posts to be linked to or embedded. It's designed around text, so lacks the same amount of in post image and video support of FB/Twitter and generally leans somewhat less towards sound bites. Also Reddit's division into subreddits makes it easier to see when someone's talking to a small audience, while FB and especially twitter you're left with the impression that it's being broadcast to the entire userbase.

So a journo looking to stir up outrage clicks can easily find a controversial tweet, embed it in their news article to be easily read, and call it a day. They can't really do the same for Reddit, so they just ignore it.

It would just be a bunch of people standing around the meetup spot, pretending to be there for some other reason “Kiwi Farms? Never heard of them. So what’s your username on this bird farming website?”

Oh no! You’ll infect us over the internet! Shouldn’t they be encouraging unvaccinated people to stay home and spend time on reddit? I thought they wanted to save lives.

I don’t understand Reddit’s either-or attitude about vaccines and potential antiviral treatment options like ivermectin and HCQ. We really need both. Areas that don’t have access to the vaccines (like India), children, and people who can’t get the vaccine for whatever reason can benefit from curative treatments, ntm that the Delta variant doesn’t seem to give a shit whether you’re vaccinated or not.

more importantly, facebook and twitter are person-centered while reddit is content-centered

like, twitter is organized into user profiles and their feeds. facebook is organized into user pages and their timelines. reddit on the other hand is organized into threads centered on discussing a specific thread subject

the person centered approach is much more appealing to normies, especially women, while the content centered approach is much more appealing to autists, especially men

>they banned NNN for brigading when it was subject to a sitewide brigade from powerjannies
I take it back, IPO as soon as you can, I want to watch this site's stock value sink below a dollar per share within six months. Force the market to tell Spez and his buddies how worthless their life's work actually is and how many years they wasted working on it.
