    Reddit made it clear where they stand when they left coontown, fatpeoplehate, jailbait, and others on the site for years before finally removing them around the same time as OG hexbear birthplace, for the crime of what? Having a communism? Enjoying a succulent Chinese communism?

      It used to be that every time Reddit removed a community it was strictly because it got them bad press. The original founders were all about free speech absolutism except when it got them in hot water on CNN.

      Then the founders left and got replaced by CEO-brained CIA alumni, who remove subreddits for basically the same reason but more proactively in order to try and keep the site's value high for the elusive IPO that's always on the horizon.
