What is a shadow ban like on Reddit?
User keeps seeing their comments, but other users cannot see their posts or their user page. Only Admins can shadowban. Mods can use a tool called automoderator to remove posts by certain users but only in their subreddit.

You don't have to visit to get bullied. They were literally posting people's Facebook pages, images posted in other subs, and original photos they took themselves. There are numerous incidents of harassment against other users on Reddit, and even off of Reddit. The admins said themselves they received numerous complaints.
You can turn off messages + friend requests and make your entire FB page private. You can also change the URL. It takes all of 30 seconds.

meh. Mostly from r/punchablefaces which is another hateful subreddit.
Yep. It's just a nice reminder for me to quietly stay subscribed to r/scala, r/learnprogramming, and r/AskHistorians.

Are you seriously trying to blame the victims of the bullying and suggest they disconnect from the internet..? I literally cannot comprehend where you're coming from.
This isn't real life. It's access via a screen. In real life, my argument wouldn't stand. On the internet, you are given tools to weather the storm. Shitty people will always exist. Everyone else now has to suffer as casualties of the wide net cast in hopes of eliminating a vitriolic idiots because of a few victims.
Notch has the right idea. Why not just block the subreddits you find offensive? https://twitter.com/notch/status/608706518972788736 Reddit just put the world on notice that they are willing to become user babysitters, and historically this has never ended well for the company involved.
AFAIK it is literally impossible to ban 150,000 users from your reddit viewing experience or whatever. The issue wasn't with the subreddit, it's with what it was doing outside the subreddit.
This is like dream come true for voat dot co. I highly doubt there is going to be mass migration like it was with Digg but Voat is going to get quite a few users in the near future for what it's worth. In any case, Reddit has become a new mainstream site full of propaganda, censorship, shadowbanning, hand-picked news, etc. I've noticed a sharp decline in the last year or so. It's not even their new policy, it just fe…
A dream they weren't prepared for. The site has been in failboat mode all day. Should have designed to scale for all of those users that want to hate on fat people.

You've got to give Christopher Poole credit, he was never dumb enough to try to police 4chan. This is as laughable as trying to get rid of trolling on IRC.
Reddit is a venture-funded company with a large staff that needs to monetize. Nobody wants their ad next to a post fat-shaming someone. I don't agree with censorship, however the two sites aren't comparable.

Pao is attempting to "clean up"... in an environment that cherishes its traditional freewheeling and unrestrained discourse. Even if the stuff getting cleaned up is just the stuff that most people agree deserves it - for some value of deserves - it's a troubling precedent to set. Some people find themselves wondering what opinions will be deemed unsafe next. The policies are not exactly clear-cut, and neither are the…
> what opinions will be deemed unsafe next. I think this is a little dramatic. It's not about censorship of "unsafe opinions" - you are free to hold your opinion and talk about it, just not on Reddit. It's akin to a hotel owner disallowing a Klan meeting in the conference room. I think any business owner deserves that right. > The policies are not exactly clear-cut I dunno, the blog post seems fairly clear cut to me.…

I've seen plenty of these claims but far less in the way of actual removed content. My sense is that this is largely a myth used to stir up outrage.
It's a bit harder to link to this type of stuff because by definition its been removed, but for example, this sub has been banned today: https://np.reddit.com/r/paoiskillingreddit here's a thread regarding a joke removed about two weeks ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/378smw/a_jo...
