If someone is behaving like an idiot, and I call them an idiot, am I to be banned? Is that "hate speech", despite how true it may be? Yes, that person will likely not like that I said it, but if you censor it, then you are engaged in censoring truth. I know it's a slippery slope fallacy, but it is how mass censorship gets started. Other users have pointed out that this is your house, and you can make the rules, but let's not call it anything other than what it is.
And to ensure that you will not respond to this, everyone is fully aware that you are doing this in order to make Reddit more appealing commercially. Look back over the recent changes. If I were to make this site more lucrative, I would do EXACTLY what you have done. The next steps would be to ban those subs, to give the mods SOME new tools (likely, not nearly enough) and then to do a mass press release on a platform that isn't reddit touting your accomplishments to the world. So why, then, are the admins of reddit still denying this to be the case?
Sound about right?
There's nothing here!
