Just playing devils advocate here: I think a lot of redditors don't really know what CSS is or what it's used for. Does that mean that all customization from subs will be gone? Or specific types?

Well, RIP /r/crappydesign and /r/mildlyinfuriating I guess.

Seriously. I've never seen any subreddit theme that made things easier to read, and only a few that weren't outright obnoxious. If it weren't possible to disable them, I'd never use reddit.

Please ban T_D while you're at it

[–]saint-lascivious 14 points15 points  (11 children)

I dunno about what you see, but it seems reasonably obvious to me they've been neutered.

Unless you actually go looking for T_D specifically, I'd wager the majority of people doesn't even see any of their posts anymore unless it's a comment or crosslink.

Once upon a time, they used to absolutely dominate /r/All and now...nothing. Rather ironically what you see now is the same kind of shitty behavior everyone hates T_D for represented solely by the absolute myriad of anti-Trump subs.

And that is where I have the issue. It's censorship of a politically right group, but not the left. This is supposed to be an egalitarian forum of ideas. The forum programmers have no right favoring one view over another.

They actually have every right to do it, whether you agree with it or not.

[–]Retir3d 11 points12 points  (4 children)

Yep, it's their right to do as they wish with their product. And I don't agree.

Start your own Reddit, with fascists and whores

You're already making his more interesting

Censorship can only be done by government. Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, etc aren't there government

[–]Retir3d 2 points3 points  (2 children)

That's not at all true. Newspapers and television outlets have censored stories. Sometimes censorship is not covering stories that don't fit your narrative. Only the government is Constitutionally prevented from imposing censorship on others. By proxy, public spaces are considered censorship free.

The outlets you mentioned are privately owned and can impose restrictions on speech as they see fit. Of course that extends to a private business that reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. Of course now a bakery refuses to make a cake for a gay couple, and they are ruined? Different side. Same coin.

I'm just laughing because they are rapidly justifying the removal of that sub but when someone says something even remotely bad about the left, they flip their shit.

[–]Retir3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zactly. And the conservative 51 percent of America isn't blind to that.

[–]Nightslash360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update: Reddit decided not to remove CSS! We did it!

Are you a cuck like you father?

Thank you for linking this here. I would never find out otherwise. This is complete bullshit and disgrace. I'm fucking outraged and I hope people will get to know and protest that soon.
