View submission: Removing harassing subreddits

View parent comment

hypocrisy of the Admins

What part is hypocritical? From my perspective their rationale is clear. The fact that the venn diagram of offensive subreddits and harassing subreddits doesn't completely overlap doesn't make them hypocrites in my eyes.

something you love

This is strange to me. What I enjoy about reddit is the community and the people I engage with. I'm here to talk about diet and exercise, and little else. I've been here for nearly 8 years longer than you, and have been doing this the whole time. Yet I would still not describe reddit as "something I love". The forum for discussion doesn't matter as much as the topic and people involved, in my eyes.

Could you elaborate a bit more on why you would describe reddit as something you "love"? I checked your post history and all reddit seems to do is irritate you.

I was referring to what I thought the motivation was for the previous poster.

Just because you have been here forever and don't "love" the site doesn't mean that other people can't and therefore that somehow invalidates their passion for it.

As to myself, I enjoy reading things that I might not agree with and not just things that don't challenge me, which is why I might come off as irritated. I really really like Reddit, the good, bad, and the ugly. For instance I am not a fan of SRS but I wouldn't just want to ban them because I disagree with them.
