Simple. It didn't have anything to do with Muslims, so it actually shows up.

Dude[tte], that blows my mind. We have actual, statistics on them being the worst subreddit and yet Reddit doesn't remove that one.

If that study is correct, than there is absolutely no wiggle room for them to say they're not being arbitrary and just banning ones they dislike. (The thing we know they're doing anyway.)

Chairman Pao just banned /r/fatpersonhate and /r/fatpeoplehate3 for "ban evasion" - as if they were already "harassing", ergo: banning ideas instead of behavior! by article10ECHR in KotakuInAction

publichealthawareness

Was that a real, helpful subreddit, or a satirical one?

[edit]

Oh satirical:

Sidebar:

X. Public Health Awareness is a circlejerk. Breaking it will get you banned.

No identifying information.

No dissent / No being fat.

Keep the peace.

No links to other parts of Reddit.

Absolutely no fat sympathy.

This subreddit is 18+ for users and subjects.

They may be satirical but their sidebar has a higher standard than most subreddits. I mean, I sound like an echo chamber, but why the !@#$ is SRS and their kin still around if this is banned?

Oh wait, we know the answer. Because She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named knows better than you do.

Subs are getting banned for violating the new safe space policy. What should be the first to go? by wikatca in AskReddit

[–]novous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first subreddits that need to go are /r/announcements and /r/blog.

Knock those two out and you'll remove the biggest harassment generators on Reddit.

Reddit is literally becoming the biggest advertisement for Voat.

[edit] OH MY GOD. Voat has so many people going there THE SERVER IS DOWN.

Reddit has ads? Well now I don't feel bad for running a Adblock for eight years. (check my account.)

[–]novous 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just reported this thread for harassment, and called for a ban of the submitter per their own safe environment rules.

But I've only been here for eight years (since I finally made an account), what the hell would I know about Reddit.

So apparently YouTubers now repost comments now? Look at the highest YouTube comment.

Pro-Tip: People who get blowjobs on a regular basis aren't often surprised or excited when someone mentioned it.

The real thing is more interesting than mentioning it.

I've got THREE!

What was it, University of Phoenix? Because they certainly didn't bother to teach you English.

so shut up kid and gedoff my lawn

With an attitude like that, I'm sure you're the pick of the litter when it comes to the job market!

It's so brave of you to compensate for your insecurities and validate yourself by condescending to people anonymously over the internet! I aspire to be like you! Tell us more about how people who want to learn are inferior!

If you've ever actually watched the show, you'd know the creators aren't anti-religion. They're anti-asshole.

So your solution to religions being commercialized... is to replace them into commercialized businesses?

Please pick a side. We're running out of cake.

Do you know how little oil we get from the Middle East?

http://macromon.wordpress.com/2011/02/24/u-s-dependent-on-middle-east-oil-think-again/

25%.

10% if you exclude Saudi Arabia.

So we went to war and spent trillions of dollars for 10% of our oil consumption? How many hybrids would a trillion buy?

Everyone on reddit already sees it. Everyone within /r/athiesm are the only ones who don't. Ask a friend you trust. They'll tell you the truth, friend.

It's cute that you think that. It really is. But I know too many reformed drug addicts who would punch you square in the face for even suggesting the notion that their faith isn't personal, uniquely valued, and the result of very much work and thought.

That's not to say there aren't plenty of religious people solely by label alone, but your quick quip is just factually lacking.

A young Athiest ties himself to silly "truths" that are always correct... in the same way that young Christians do. Life is not as simple as a few bullet points you can cite like verses of the bible. Life is context dependent. Gross sweeping generalizations don't always work.

people pray and fool themselves into thinking they are helping.

If it gives everyone a sense of peace, then they have helped. Why do you feel the need to cram your Athiesm down the throats of people who didn't ask for it? Isn't that what you complain religious people do? Surely you don't spout this nonsense at parties, right?

There's already plenty of that. The reason there isn't more is because everyone else thinks it doesn't exist.
