Reddit had the problem of some stuff needing to be pruned but the people on top really not understanding that they gave a shit way too late in the game.

You can't have a "free speech" anything goes atmosphere with no real moderation (because the mods tend to be part of the circle jerk that is the sub to begin with) and then be surprised when harassment becomes part of the equation. The only real conclusion to hate speech or implied threats is action outside the sub and douches trying desperately to one-up each other.

Thing is Reddit is not a forum. It's a platform like LiveJournal or Blogger, but for communities.

Technically, you can make your own subreddit in seconds. The same moderation concerns you mention don't really apply.

It's not like GAF, which is basically EL's benevolent dictatorship.

That autonomy gives you great subs like askhistorian but also garbage like fatpeoplehate.

Nailed it. Even if you don't want reddit's server space: https://github.com/reddit/reddit <---Compile reddit's code and go from there.

 :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol People staying at voat after they "got their way" with Pao resigning when she and she alone wasn't the MAJOR cause for most of reddit's bullshit. It was the board and other factors. When the new CEO pulls the shit the board wants him to... oh boy. The popcorn.  :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Eh you can make your own subreddit but reddit can squash it like they have done. They wanted to pretend like they didn't know about cp trading and harassment offsite which is quite the farce.

Zuhzuhzombie!!, NeoGAF's smartest Marxist, got banned in the Ellen Pao thread for speaking truth to libertarian power.

She was a woman of color in a position of power and attempted to clamp down on the good ole boys club that spent their time organizing real life assaults on people.

She had to go, you see.

She's a venture capitalist, so she's one of the worst types of people.

But there's some cognitive dissonance going on that just drives Libertarians up the wall. Ellen Pao and Reddit's maneuverings over the past few months have been the operating of a private entity and using their private property in the pursuit of higher returns and a more comfortable position in the market. It is 100% capitalism, 100% the invisible hand of the market. But Righties can't recognize a market as flawed and dangerous to themselves so they have to invent a Left Wing/SJW conspiracy.

evilore needs to just make a thread "please be smarter gaf, you've been embarassing for way too long now please stop, just stop."

That would require him to stop doing whatever important surreal 1%er stuff he is doing.

Fuck this Reddit drama I just want dank memes and cute animal pictures.

And butt sharpies.

interim ceo does a bunch of shit nobody likes and is replaced by old, known ceo? :omg What a hero he will be if he manages to turn the big wheels and undo some of the damage done!  :-[

This happened like a week ago in my company too. But luckily the old CEO loves the stuff my team is doing so it seems like a good move, the guy who was replaced seemed to be pretty stuck in the past and unwilling to change.

To be honest having a passing feeling of uneasiness about it is completely fine. As long as one is aware it's not their business in the end. Which is exactly what the OP said. It's something new, sounded like it came out of nowhere, and may be conflicting with any ingrained social, cultural, or religious principles. Being a little conflicted is normal. Then again internet peeps expect everyone to be same theory robots in real life situations.

Now, I haven't followed the thread aside from the OP, so I'm assuming it snowballed because GAF. And a frustrated EL is once again flexing and taking it out on his punching bags.

Depending on the place you can make like 75 a class modeling nude. The real hard part is probably keeping a pose for like 20 min at a time.

I don't get why it's even disturbing? Does everything have to be clouded in that lens? It's a bunch of pokemon mascots not dudes in fursuits.

The current mods are fine. The problem is the userbase, Evilore in general as the head, and the tone set for the community, and just its general size.

You can have great mods but if most users are console warriors or just general idiots, it doesn't matter.

The modding in general is much better than it use to be and certainly when I was there and it hasn't noticeably improved the quality of the site. The mods are an easy target and of course there are occasional stupid bans and such but if we are being honest, that's not the problem.

Lore should just replace the entire staff at this point, along with rebooting the rules. So much inconsistency, so much questionable decision-making. Maybe keep Stump, Ghaleon, Cyan and Cornballer,

You're forgetting Nirolak, but: ...Yes...
