#3Relevant context: recently, former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao called out Reddit for their policies after Reddit did a statement on Black Lives Matter:
> I am obligated to call you out: You should have shut down the_donald instead of amplifying it and its hate, racism, and violence. So much of what is happening now lies at your feet. You don't get to say BLM when reddit nurtures and monetizes white supremacy and hate all day long

#4I really don't know what they want anymore. How much cleaner than Reddit does it get? There is nothing left that is even remotely controversial. I'm so confused.
The way he said BLACK candidate also feels really weird. We get it - you want to virtue signal. Make it a little less obvious.

Are you joking? There's a huge number of cesspools still on reddit. Stuff like thedonald, theredpill, all sorts of blatantly racist/misogynistic communities.

TD is gone for a long time now. r/protectandserve is a reddit for police officers as far as I know? Not sure what's controversial.
