View submission: Will Men's Rights Be Next?
The chairman of the board, Alexis Ohanian called this specific subreddit a "Hive of Misogyny" of course you are next, they are just setting the playbook up and figuring out how the PR falls when they take down one subreddit that is easy to crush and keep most people out of the argument.
The reason they only took down 5 subs this time is because this is a trial run. Any sub can be filled up with subscribers working together to forge the appearance of harassment coming out of a sub and have it fall afoul of the incredibly vague new rules.
The admins just threw out the 'no brigading rule' by admitting in the post that SRS does a lot of it but is still not going to have anything done to it, aside from reddit inc working on 'new tools' in the distant future.
You are next because you are not monetizable in an IPO. Geico and Unilever want nothing to do with you and never want to risk having your content appear at eye-level with that which they are paying to put on the site.
I warned FPH in a meta post that front paged on that sub right after The Open Letter leaks came out and the mods said "We enforce the rules, we'll be fine", but didnt see that the whole point was that the rules dont matter, its all a sham in the face of getting reddits revenue inline with its traffic potential.
