It was gutsy to leave coontown be in their own quarantined place. Pao's "banning behavior not ideas" was simple to apply broadly. Your "banning ideas that make Reddit worse by offending" is a nightmare to apply broadly.

More than a practicality issue, there's an ethical one: free speech--a good rallying point for the front page of the internet--exists to protect unpopular ideas. Pao's policy sent the message that Reddit and the internet was firstly a vehicle for free speech. Your policy sends the message that Reddit is firstly a vehicle for victimhood--those that successfully argue themselves to be the biggest victims control content.

Will it still appear in /r/all if they are subscribed to it?

That's not what it says in the /r/changelog thread. May wanna clear that up either here or there.

If you were previously subscribed to a quarantined subreddit, your subscription will persist, but you must opt-in before the content will show up elsewhere on reddit, including your front page.

What if you're subscribed, but browsing via https://www.reddit.com/me/f/all?[1] That's how I do 99% of my redditing.

What about /r/all? Or will there be a new /r/everything or something that will include quarantined content?

A bit of a different question along the same lines, will the Quarantined subs still be available as normal for multi-Reddits to use?

I tend not to be subscribed to very many subs due to the way that the smaller subs rarely make my front page, so everything I do is under content-grouped multi-Reddits. Having to resub to some 150 subs just to get to the content again would be a nuisance, especially when it's easier to just go to the smaller sub on its own (since a smaller sub struggles to break through over larger subs).

WHY THE FUCK DO WE NEED TO GIVE YOU OUR E-MAIL ADDRESS TO SEE THESE "QUARANTINED" SUBREDDITS? Do you not immediately realize how fucking sketchy that seems?

If I subscribe to too many quarantined subreddits will I eventually be shadowbanned? I can see that happening since each quarantine subreddit must carry some form of "taint" with it.
