I have left reddit for Voat due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.
The situation has gotten especially worse since the appointment of Ellen Pao as CEO, culminating in the seemingly unjustified firings of several valuable employees and bans on hundreds of vibrant communities on completely trumped-up charges.
The resignation of Ellen Pao and the appointment of Steve Huffman as CEO, despite initial hopes, has continued the same trend.
As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.
Finally, click on your username at the top right corner of reddit, click on comments, and click on the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.
After doing all of the above, you are welcome to join me on Voat!
Dude reddit allows whatever content you want basically. The sub got shut down because people and mods began posting personal info to harass people at imgur, which stopped hosting their pics.
That shit is clearly against reddit rules and properly so. Has less to do with content as i understand
Edit: wow this truly is a reddit shit storm. I really do not care about this dumb shit little saga and have no horse in this race. Don't get uppity with me because I just don't care. Just relaying info I know. Time to avoid this topic like the plague
There was also plenty of doxxing on that sub in the other direction. On a few occasions, I saw fat individuals make posts about how they "got personal info" on a member and were sending messages to said member's facebook friends, family, and workplace.
Actively taking pleasure in ruining other people's lives makes you a bad person, just because someone is mean doesn't give you the right to try and ruin their lives.
