Geezus the day Reddit userbase becomes the same as TikTok is the day I'm fully migrating here.

#24Reddit is now banning folks for upvoting content!
Im on mobile, but there is a screenshot of huffman promising for life to not delete content by users.
Reddit is a propaganda tool 100% now.
(There is another post by him saying as so, they removed both)

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
Reddit gives random moderators (who are often affiliated with companies or governments, without disclosure) the power to do all this and lots more.
Yeah, but it also gives any user the ability to start their own sub if they want.
Yep, make your own sub!
And then they shut it down, take it over, give it to other people, or quarantine it if they don’t like what you are saying.
The comparison to TikTok which is popular despite being Chinese run and Reddit which is acting in a way that makes me wonder if they are Chinese run is curious.
I wonder which service really has less free speech atm.

#26TikTok: get in trouble if you criticize the Chinese president
Reddit: get in trouble if you praise the American president

#27I'll take TikToks 'parasitic' over Reddits toxic negativity any day of the week. Go look at the front page of Reddit, then look at what's trending on Tiktok... From my humble perspective tiktok is a pretty positive place. Reddit on the other hand seems to have been overrun with political fighting and cynicism about literally everything. It may not be popular among the tech crowd but for where I am in my life that is…
Reddit is the worst.
Catering to constant conflict. Always testing limits of what is technically legal and what clearly falls under hate speech laws; all under the banner of free speech.
Reddit would love to be as technological advanced as TikTok but will never adopt their heavily edited approach because they know that there are far more eyeballs and moneys in constant conflict.

#28don't worry guys, I'm creating the new reddit. It's called fuckkit

#29Not that I disagree, but for some context, this is coming from the man who said "We know all of your interests. Not only just your interests you are willing to declare publicly on Facebook - we know your dark secrets, we know everything"

TikTok banned pro-LGBT content (until they were called out on it?), TikTok bans a bunch of things in countries that aren't illegal there (or in any civilized country, for that matter), TikTok bans criticism of certain political figures in some regions, so forth. Positive, but at what price? I don't like reddit, either, to be fair.
The front page of hacker news is heavily moderated and political discussions are quickly gone.
You can either have productive interesting discussions (or in TikTok's case fun videos) or you can have free speech.
