The reddit admins have officaly begun to selectivly ban communities for harassment. /r/fatpeoplehate is now banned. Is /u/chairmanpao next? How about /r/topmindsofreddit?

Reddit has sealed its fate today.
The fallout from this will be disastrous for the medium if this policy change is allowed to stand.

Six years here. Seeing "This subreddit has been banned for violating the reddit rules to keep everyone safe" is the end. Thanks for Destroying this once great website. Welcome to Digg 2.0

glad to see your kind go - you guys are really proving how you guys dont harass , brigade, or spill hate into other subs by.... oh right... just checked /r/all ...
Hopefully the mods clean up the FPH posts on here before /r/conspiracy looks like we actually support those idiots
0 club-mate 2015-06-10
This might have been the idea all along. To ban other subs (like r/conspiracy). And guess what, when these subs are banned stuff like fatpeoplehate will return.

good, hope you and the rest of the "shitlord" brigade make your way to 9gag

Whenever I see people waste their time on the internet to create a tribe, and make fun of people outside that tribe, it really makes me feel better about myself.

So it's kosher to draw Mohammed and speak blatant Islamaphobia. But, criticizing gluttony and hedonism is harassment. What core beliefs do these pigs hold?

Well if you're not a racist, you have nothing to worry about.

I think the downvotes were people who didn't get it. I see what you did there :)

I couldn't believe my eyes. This is definitely gonna cause some waves across reddit. I could understand jailbait, but everything else is a free speech issue. So now they're gonna just start deleting subreddits because they deem them to be "harassment".
I'm fat, I didn't mind fat people hate, I have perused it and it gave me motivation to work on my issue...
This is the first place I ran to after I read that post. I really hope they never take this sub away under the guise of harassment...

Makes you think about when they condoned draw Mohammed contests.
3 AggregateTurtle 2015-06-10
There is still fat people stories for now. It had a more helpful bent from the start but I imagine it's only a matter of time before their PC veneer is not enough to protect them from the banhammer.
2 JamesColesPardon 2015-06-10
As someone who could lose a few as well - I challenge you!
1 conscious009 2015-06-10
Yeah I lost so much weight when I subbed to them I'd rather not be part of their sub so I lost it all
20 efnex123 2015-06-10
The fact that r/fatpeoplehate is banned and r/cutefemalecorpses and r/gasthekikes and r/coontown and r/sexyabortions and more is not is bullshit, plain and simple.
12 AssuredlyAThrowAway 2015-06-10
And /r/topmindsofreddit?
4 [deleted] 2015-06-10
What is that one?
2 Alcorr 2015-06-10
It's a community that harasses r/conspiracy users, or makes fun of posts.
-3 [deleted] 2015-06-10
But what about safe spaces :(
Come on over to /r/gasthekikes for a nice safe space or how about /r/coontown if you are white?
2 efnex123 2015-06-10
Forgot that one.
1 blacksunalchemy 2015-06-10
I actually find that sub hilarious.
1 EndzeitNull 2015-06-10
Surprisingly, r/rapingwomen is still up, and that sub is way worse than all of the others combined, hell, FPH was even funny at times, and in spite of their harsh opinions towards obese people there was never a fucking manifesto advocating violent action against said demographic.
0 Shadow703793 2015-06-10
Don't worry, the Chairman will ban those in the next few weeks/months.
14 [deleted] 2015-06-10
Shit is going down as we speak. Goodbye reddit, fix this shit or me and the entire group of shitlords here will move from this site that is transforming into tumblr to a different site. I don't even care anymore. Fuck this.
-17 PREDICTARR 2015-06-10
Jesus fucking Christ, how many times are you going to threaten to leave before you actually do? JUST GO.
8 [deleted] 2015-06-10
Hi there angry fattie. As I just explained, I will leave if this situation is fixed. That is, reddit addressing the issue of free speech and continue to allow hateful subreddits to exist like they should:
Yishan Wong, the site's former CEO, has stated that "We stand for free speech. This means we are not going to ban distasteful subreddits. We will not ban legal content even if we find it odious or if we personally condemn it."
0 Shadow703793 2015-06-10
Ironic how he said those things yet gave a "personal recommendation" for Pao becoming the new interim (likely permanent) CEO.
-17 drogean3 2015-06-10
i dont think anyone really gives a damn if the shitlords leave
please, make your way to 9gag or 8chan
9 [deleted] 2015-06-10
Why are you in this sub?
You are obviously for censorship of subs that offend you, yet you go to subs that offend you to tell people to leave.
Is it the indignation that gets you off?
-11 drogean3 2015-06-10
oh shove it
you and your "shitlord" gang brigaded every sub and posted your anti-fat crap in every unrelated sub and unrelated topic
you guys made it a point to spread your crap as far as possible
6 [deleted] 2015-06-10
LMFAO.
I have never brigaded or crossposted anything from there. I'm not even subscribed to that sub.
Jesus fucking Christ, your world must be so scary and shitty. I feel sorry for you. I honestly do.
XD
You have to be trolling.
2 oblivioustoobvious 2015-06-10
FPH didn't brigade. Do you have any evidence it did?
1 drogean3 2015-06-10
wow you're an idiot
this has nothing to do with free speech, the subreddit posted pics of admins so they could be harassed because imgur didn't want to host their pics
THATS why they were banned
but dont let me ruin the circle jerk

One more thing. You should talk to atko about developing advertising revenue. I would pause adblock for a good cause. I'm sure many would. He definitely needs more server space.
2 Kabuthunk 2015-06-10
Kinda thought it was going slow today. Aaaand then I found out what was happening in r/all.
1 [deleted] 2015-06-10
Yeah, I hope they get it sorted fast. I have no love for subs like FPH, but the amount of people here who are for banning unpopular opinion is creeping me out.
I need to figure out how I can easily delete all of my past comments when I delete my account. I don't want to leave any organic content behind for these fuckers when I go.
9 pumpkinrum 2015-06-10
Of all the damn subreddits they could ban, they ban /r/fatpeoplehate. Not /r/picsofhorsevaginas? /r/CuteFemaleCorpses/?
If you don't want to read about fat people getting bullied, then stay away from the goddamn subreddit. It's not that hard.
"Ohhh but they're so mean. HAES HAES blarg blarg"
It's an opinion. Some people don't like fat people. Hell, some people don't like thin people. "You need to eat more!" "Real men loves curves, not sticks and bones like you!" "You don't look like a real woman!" "Omg eat a burger trolololol".
Are thin people rallying against it? No.
Well it's probably cause it's not negative to be thin so ofc they won't rally against it!"
No, they don't rally against shit like that cause everyone's entitled to their own opinion you fucktrumpet. Hearing shit like that is not kind, but to each their own.
Fatties gonna fat.

I would argue that by allowing people to think that being fat is ok, they are intentionally damaging their health and social esteem. If we can get enough people to say any sub is offensive, it will be removed. Why not create a fatpeoplebeauty and post the same content?
2 ErgoNonSim 2015-06-10
http://www.reddit.com/r/paoiskillingreddit/ has been deleted a few days ago, and the mod said there was no activity there. SO they banned a sub for its name. Yet there's others with offensive names who are still up and running.
I think Reddit has one or more buyers for a few $ billion because of its large user base and is now experimenting on controlling that user base, something that a potential buyer would probably like.
2 pipispapas 2015-06-10
don't waste your breath reddit is no longer speaking english. only North Korean are acceptable under chairman Pao
2 blacksunalchemy 2015-06-10
I personally would love to see all the racism subs banned, they represent the worst of what Reddit has to offer. And their subscribers regularly come to this sub to talk about Jew hate.
r/coontown
Would love to see every person on that sub banned

Doesn't matter, all they have to do is follow where a handful of the top posters go, and they've found the next sub to ban.
1 Sketari 2015-06-10
Isn't it odd that all this happens just as FPH uploaded a picture of the IMGUR staff for censoring the pictures that were uploaded to that subreddit?
1 Fupanova 2015-06-10
To be fair though they did the same thing to a lot of pork gorgons before without issue

There is only one group that can stop this. It is the biggest long shot you know of. If it works it will save reddit. If it fails it will save reddit. Back them up and change the world.
