Complete bullshit. Reddit's /r/news, /r/politics, and /r/worldnews (which are default subreddits focused on politics) are regularly raided by Stormfront . Just this week the Reddit administrators finally got it into their heads to ban /r/niggers, which had functioned as "Stormfront on Reddit". This won't accomplish much, since subreddits like /r/WhiteRights or /r/newright remain alive and serve much the same purpose.…

The fact that you are so hostile to these politically incorrect subreddits and blanketly label them all as "Stormfront" makes it clear that you are not in a position of rationality. None of those groups ever "raided" anyone, unless you define it as linking from one subreddit to another. None of them ever encouraged downvoting, or even participation (although you can't expect them to not participate at all). Some -- o…

> It's fine for Reddit to make a decision to ban a subreddit because it might garner some bad press. However, it is ironic that Reddit call, or even consider itself a bastion free speech. They have banned other politically incorrect subreddits before (jailbait).

A lot of people saw this coming when jailbait was banned. As abhorrent as it was, they were the tip of the iceberg in the Great Purification of Reddit. Once that door is open, the admins at Reddit HQ have to meet and defend the content of subreddits instead of merely evaluating the legality of their existence. Which is why I'm not surprised /r/nrs was banned this week. There's plenty more subreddits that will be equally difficult to defend in a corporate meeting.

Sure it was. While being more abhorrent to most people's moral sensibilities than the hard drug forums, the activity going on there was no more or less illegal.

The whole of Reddit is PC. SRS is violently PC.

There is a subreddit devoted to beating women. What is your definition of PC?

The purge of Reddit will continue. Don't worry, /r/beatingwomen will be gone soon.

> */r/shitredditsays ... it's PC... I wouldn't quite say they PC... but I don't know what I would call them. I don't think there is really a term that adequately describes using shock tactics, belittling, and bullying to further an otherwise commendable cause. They are "Un-PC about being PC" I suppose.

Some days ago I saw an ad for DuckDuckGo on 4chan and found it pretty funny. A squirrel was searching for "traps", "clop clop", etc. and the duck anonymized the search. If the add was really made by the DDG guys they earned some respect from me for having a sense of humor.

You're missing two and you could have just linked to them directly.

The anonymous "reddit" search on 4chan is quite funny.

4chan has been struggling to break even for years, mostly because no one wants to advertise there. So I think these "self-serve" ads are a great idea because they engage the community. After all, 4chan's biggest strength has always been its users. Now that I think of it, this play was probably inspired by the recent 4chan banner/ad contests that drew thousands of submissions, many of them quite high quality. I'm exci…

It will be interesting to see how many ads will be put up purely for the sake of trolling.

>much of what goes on there is illegal, and a substantial portion is immoral or malicious. Most, if not all, of your so called "illegal", "immoral or malicious" behavior comes from a certain handful of boards, of which there are over fifty. For most, the only illegal/immoral stuff they engage in is piracy and just generally being assholes, both of which can be found on almost any online congregation. In short, lel.

Ok, here's the thing: I don't even have huge moral problems with piracy, but it is very illegal. And "just generally being assholes" should damn well be labeled as a guilty pleasure, at least as it regards 4chan's interaction with the world outside 4chan. Likewise, many people have no actual problem with smoking crack. That doesn't mean it's not illegal, and it doesn't mean there's no good reason people don't want to…

> Ok, here's the thing: I don't even have huge moral problems with piracy, but it is very illegal.

Ehm. Yes, piracy, as in armed robbery on the high seas, is indeed "very illegal" [sic]. Copy-pasta culture with images is arguably very close to fair use, so close that various aspects (sampling for music, being the most prolific) have been deemed legal.

Are you saying that you know of 4chan boards dedicated to (actual) piracy?

I would think hate speech is generally held to be "more" illegal than digital piracy in most countries. Copyright infringement is largely a civil matter, not a criminal matter.

By the way, I still want that word: "piracy" back. I do not, will not, accept that the copyright lobby has gotten away with stealing it.

So that others don't have to search, it's brony porn, where 'brony' means 'middle-aged man who's obsessed with the "My Little Pony" television show. NSFW, obviously.
