https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/hi3oht/update_to_our_content_policy/In a move long anticipated, Reddit has cracked down in advance of the election by banning any political expression outside its permitted neoliberal orthodoxy. Its their biggest banwave of all time.
There were some leakers warning people this was coming today, and turned out OP was not a fag for once.
The new content policy bans all "hate speech" and redefines that term to say "hate speech" doesn't count if its targeted at a "group in the majority" or "hateful group", in which case its allowed.
They are rapidly knocking down subreddits, with 2000 getting the axe in one day, with The_Donald being notable but purely ceremonial as they were inactive for 4 months after leaving for their own platform
Lists are just pouring in now, meme subs like /r/consumeproduct and /r/bruhfunny, and political ones like /r/rightwinglgbt among them, with /r/chapotraphouse being their obvious token ban for the left, apparently kept alive only to sacrifice today.
genderritical, wojak, thenewright, smuggies, looks like anything 4chan related except 4chan sub itself (?) also campusconservative, soyboys, whitebeauty,
This was all pretty easy to see coming. Reddit admins weren't going to let their site host anything but Biden loyalists going into the 2020 elections. With the George Floyd cancel culture providing good cover, it was time for something they were planning for a long time anyway.
Nice maybe a little even playing field considering how much republicans randomly throw out baseless slander and lies.
Typical Republican in their natural habitat which is exclusively bitching about change, regardless of where it is.
dont think its gonna do too much harm by not promoting dumb shit like the people above say.
