The discussion here in this specific chain of comment started because I responded to this: > I would like reddit to be a place for completely free, uncensored expression. By saying…

I guess that might be something to worry about if it starts to happen. But I think it's a pretty poor argument to say "well if they ban racism , what's next?"

Maybe it's not as troubling if it needs to be searched for. But it doesn't need to be searched for. It's everywhere on the defaults, that's the troubling part. You don't have to go…

That's true, but it does make it clearer that they aren't welcome on the site. If Reddit deleted the subs that I visit and care about, I'd definitely feel less like giving them pag…

They wouldn't be, but neither is that hate speech limited to the subreddits that are dedicated for it. I am 100% certain that I could go to the comments of any top post on pics, vi…

There is no containment. There is a comfy room that the FPHers or the stormfronters can hang out in and pat each other on the backs, and then there are open doors to everyone else'…

But there's obviously some middle ground between 'free-for-all' and 'only your subreddits' that allows for moderation of the subreddits that are literally evil.

> they will lose the tasty morsel they could currently be enjoying. That tasty morsel of hardcore racism, rabid misogyny and all sorts of other fun hate groups, and the people that…

> I would like reddit to be a place for completely free, uncensored expression. This is nice in theory, but it basically requires defending the rights of hate groups to silence tho…

Except that's not a fair analogy to what happens on reddit. Sure, the shouty horrible people have a corner that they hang out in, with couches and televisions and snacks. But they'…

Maybe admins don't want their site to be somewhere that stormfront considers to be their biggest recruitment center. It's not like the users who subscribe to coontown etc keep thei…

> Companies that 'actively look to correct that imbalance' make things worse and reinforce stereotypes with token hires. Looking to correct the balance doesn't mean having some sor…

If I have a list of true statements, that is a list of facts. If some of them become no longer true, and some other statements become true, the facts have changed.

So what if some company did something similar to Zediva, but with a model where customers "buy" the DVDs and then sell them back to the company when they are done streaming it? Bas…

Whoops, sorry guys engaged in the main attraction, opening up a 98 year old time capsule is too boring for this audience. Go backstage and come back later to tell us what the inter…

Is the text in italics from an earlier version of the council's statement? The linked page seems to have language that is as supportive of the student's blog as is possible.

30 EMTs posted at the event. Concussions considered normal. Player on the author's team still hasn't regained full use of his right arm after tearing his bicep off his shoulder. Bu…

This looks really interesting. I've also looked at a few of the other virtual tabletop products out there and not been super happy with what I've seen. Making a note to myself to m…

It looks like his argument is that somehow combining results from various detectors/measurements ends up with sigma > 3. I don't understand why that would be the case, but he isn't…

Interesting, all of the 'subscribe' and 'login' buttons in the article area are served by the doubleclick network. So anyone with adblock enabled just sees a partial article with n…

Isn't SpaceX scheduled to make a resupply flight to the ISS this November? I'm not sure how we get from that to "We will have no American access to, and return from, low Earth orbi…
