Look, I honestly don't give a damn where I read the news. Reddit is convenient because it's all gathered into one nexus of information, with each specific interest having it's own little mini-dimension that I can hang out in. If you folks continue to fuck up (as has been the trend over the years), and a better, more convenient, site shows up to replace you, I have no qualms about leaving.
Also, shitty decision with krispykrackers as "Moderator Advocate". You should probably look into the history of these people on the site, to determine their level of expertise in "advocating" for anything or anyone, let alone moderators.

Seriously, 8 year club member here, about to hit 100k karma, mod of /r/ireland, have made scores of custom snoos for our sub, have endured death threats for the sake of our sub and I *still* do not give a flying fuck about reddit as an entity.
I am in it for the dopamine and the craic, nothing more, nothing less.

Our new Moderator Advocate /u/krispykrackers responding to a user asking about the depth, quality, and results of an investigation into harassment, link[1].
Your skepticism is definitely warranted, and much appreciated. For how many times I've had to bite my tongue at someone claiming things that were absolutely false, I wish more people had a healthy sense of cynicism.
We are going to start being a little more liberal with this in the future. If people are falsely creating FUD, we are going to reserve the right to clarify truths.
That said, I'm not here to offer transparency with specific cases of harassment from FPH and similar subreddits that we shut down on Wednesday, so instead I'm going to be honest with you: I don't want to. I don't want to violate people's privacy, I don't want to risk re-victimizing those who might read my "evidence" and know it's their story I'm telling, and I don't want to open up old wounds. It was painful for all parties involved, much of it is deep and personal, and I don't feel that the risk is worth the reward.
You don't have to believe me. Maybe you shouldn't, I don't know. I have given you zero reason to, instead I only have to offer why that is. But I'm also not here to lie to you either. I do this job because I believe in the reddit community, and it's not my intent to poison it with lies.
Unbelievable. This is her honest opinion. She doesn't care if the evidence is fake, she and reddit will apply it when they want to and how they want to depending on how they feel about the situation. That's not editorializing her opinion, that's what she wrote in her own words. Yes,I understand reddit is a company and they are not legally required to be open and transparent when they make decisions, but this is no longer the community I signed up for five years ago. Reddit is continually piling on the the straws, my back is broken, when will your's break?

One of the old founders of Reddit named Aaron Schwarz invented a technology called RSS. You should look into it, someone like you would like it.

You should care if your news is being processed through a filter like happens on reddit.

Voat. Just give it some time to upgrade to handle the increased user flow heading over there.

Funny, nothing the admins have done have affected your content, unless you were subbed to FPH. I mean sure, AMA was down, but it was back up and running in like only 15 hours. I'm assuming you even care about that sub. None of your "mini-dimension" subs were affected, unless the mods decided to go private for "solidarity".
