It’s a lot more nuanced than that. The Chapo mods wanted to follow site-wide rules but reddit refused to explain what was in violation of them.

Reddit actually has a weird history of flipflopping with the banhammer.

Back in the day, the XKCD subreddit was run by a guy who linked a Holocaust denial subreddit and the red pill in the sidebar. Reddit didn’t do anything about this. In fact The Red Pill still exists.

But then when the subreddit owner closed KotakuInAction, suddenly reddit doesn’t mind interfering with the free market of ideas.

Is it my fault if my coworker decides to live twice as far as I do?

I’d rather just let them sit in traffic thinking they gamed the system.

The school has an obligation to educate students to the best of their ability.

Good luck enforcing that.

Why don’t they stop making education stupid, then?

That’s kinda historically illiterate. The reason people tolerated Capitalism in the first place was that it smashed old forms of oppression and replaced them with less bad forms of oppression.

Yup. That’s what I like about the Fediverse.

Methinks perchance they’ve been imbibing the 40-rod.
