I'm kind of appalled at how all the stories I've seen relating to this are giving credence to the various claims made here, such as how Reddit has "entered into a new age of censorship", without even making the slightest attempt to contextualize or explain how <i>absolutely bat-shit nutty it is to make that claim</i>. Reddit enforced its rules and shut down a few vile subreddits that were explicitly and unrepentantly harassing people. That is unambiguously a great move by Reddit. But a lot of people are suddenly screaming "censorship" and, if you read nothing but the news stories, you'd come away with the idea that those screaming "censorship" are right.<p>This actually feels a bit reminiscent of GamerGate, which for a while was able to have news outlets report on them as if their stated goal of ethics in game journalism was actually what it was about.
