What was illegal should already have been banned but the removal of non illegal but objectionable (to many) content stuck at the heart of what Reddit was, of course it's their platform and they can do as they please but I often enjoyed debating with people holding diametrically opposite views.
I mean I entirely get why they would do it from a business point of view but it was a stark sea change from what they'd done up to that point.
Throw in all the other odds and ends and Reddit just feels different.
The constant nagging to install their app, the hilariously bad redesign and handling of the redesign etc it just adds up.
Cool. Nice to have this discussion with you. It felt like there was remarkable consensus on reddit while these changes took place, with remarkably few people who took a more principled (in a free speech sense) stance. So I’m glad it’s not just me. I’ve been questioning whether I am in the wrong for not wanting to censor unpopular or heinous opinions.
