Reddit Updates Content Policy, Bans More Subreddits
AmiMoJo writes: Reddit's new CEO, Steve Huffman, announced new a content policy and the banning of a small number of subreddits today. Additionally, some subreddits will be "quarantined", so users can't see their content unless they explicitly opt in. "Our most important policy over the last ten years has been to allow just about anything so long as it does not prevent others from enjoying Reddit for what it is: the best place online to have truly authentic conversations.I believe these policies strike the right balance."
The names of the nixed subreddits make clear that they're not exactly neighbors exchanging pleasantries.
So just like in real life, where when you are talking to people you must be extremely careful not to threaten to rape and murder them, or start spouting racist/homophobic/sexist abuse etc. Because that might make them want to stop talking to you, and might also be against the law.
Seems reasonable. Even on 8chan you must be careful not to post illegal images or dox people accidentally.

So - you're saying "anything allowed anywhere, anytime"?
You're definitely a dick. Are you a member of Westboro?

If you use this, it's most likely because you are a horrible person and you are counter-attacking someone for pointing that out.
The irony is that you have also become a "warrior" for your cause. The main difference is that you're defending trolls and sociopaths.
