Re: Reddit is dangerous. The admins are out of control. Humanity needs a alternative
#12Lists the problems & benefits of reddit, and argues for the need for viable alternatives. It covers reddit retaliating against me (seemingly illegally) for being a long-time public critic of theirs. They did something similar to the /r/WatchRedditDie founder. Is anyone familiar with US laws related to Reddit admins using their position to try to harm me in an act of revenge? Surely there are some limits on what they'…
Don't waste even a second on a lawyer. Reddit is a private corporation that is a silo, you have zero rights. It is not a public common and no contract is entered into by being either a user or a mod. All rights belong to the corporation. Your rights are basically limited to that they are not allowed to engage in activities that are already illegal in common law, e.g. publishing your residential address and inviting p…
Really, y'all need to stop this stuff. You scare people from action and so things only get worse.

You do have rights regarding issues of libel and slander, which seem to be the acts Reddit staff engaged in according to the description the user provided. (The language implies explicit acts in public intended to cause harms) Really, y'all need to stop this stuff. You scare people from action and so things only get worse.
(Unless you're referring to the situation with Apollo's developer and the recorded conversations. That might. Maybe.)

Absolutely nothing in the linked article rises to the level of libel or slander, as far as I can tell. Perhaps it's hiding behind "I don't want to publicly share the details". (Unless you're referring to the situation with Apollo's developer and the recorded conversations. That might . Maybe.)
The topic ain't what's in the article, it's what the user says they experienced...
Right?

Lots of mean, bad things are still entirely legal.

The user won’t say what they experienced . “reddit retaliating against me” could encompass anything from “they gave me a flair that said ‘poopy head’” to “they sent assassins to kill me”. Some of that spectrum is legal, some isn’t. Lots of mean, bad things are still entirely legal.
