Because on Reddit of all places, [i]this sure won't be abused.[/i] :rolleyes:
[QUOTE=Nuggi man;47729146][URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/fatpeoplehate"]www.reddit.com/r/fatpeoplehate 132k subscribers [/URL][/QUOTE] Man, I read that, and it's painful how vapid and retarded some of it is. I suppose I give it credit for how raw they are, but it's still pretty vile in areas. I'm glad I managed to lose 100lbs and still slowly working off the rest :v
[QUOTE=Handsome Matt;47729166]it must be public information if it's accessible by a link.[/QUOTE] What like a dox on a pastebin?
[Quote]Reddit's interim chief executive Ellen Pao - along with two other staffers - introduced the changes. [/quote] No kiddin'.... [editline]15th May 2015[/editline] I'm so glad I never hopped onto the Reddit bandwagon.
[QUOTE=Nuggi man;47729146][URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/fatpeoplehate"]www.reddit.com/r/fatpeoplehate 132k subscribers [/URL][/QUOTE] whats wrong with that?
[QUOTE=Melnek;47729233]whats wrong with that?[/QUOTE] It's circle jerking over hating on fat people. I'd be suprised if there was also a Anorexic hater sub reddit.
daily reminder that criticising ellen pao and her husband's shady practices can get you shadowbanned not to mention to the obscene amounts of censorship and hugboxing that goes on on that site
Yeah right, there was a subreddit where posting a specific member's name would automatically post a leaked picture of his dick without his consent, and admins didn't give a shit then. Do they now ?
[QUOTE]"We've seen many conversations devolve into attacks against individuals"[/QUOTE] Is this guy new to the internet or something?
Lots of people are transitioning from Reddit to Voat and I don't blame them.
I don't think criticizing someone for a dumb idea is wrong, it's usually fine. Consistent ridicule and harrassment on the other hand is something that destroys and can take lives. What I mean to say is that I support the measure to a certain extent. While the freedom to say whatever you want is definitely something still worth preserving, human beings are more so.
[QUOTE=Endzeit7;47729369]Is this guy new to the internet or something?[/QUOTE] "It's the internet, what do you expect" is such a stupid "argument". Just because things suck current doesn't mean you should stop trying to improve and make a change and give over power to trolls and assholes. That's such a cowardly, defeatist attitude.
I hate how moderation = censorship according to Reddit. I'm glad they're doing something about it because it's really easy to stalk and harass someone by former simply looking at their user account. That's why a lot of girls on r/gonewild inevitably delete their account. [editline]15th May 2015[/editline] And it's funny they're worried about pandering to advertisers. Reddit is [b]the[/b] advertising platform.
So, what's the Reddit staff and their buddy-buddy moderators gonna do about themselves then?
Reddit sucks anyway.
Meanwhile SRS will be allowed to do whatever they want, just like always
[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;47729219]No kiddin'.... [editline]15th May 2015[/editline] I'm so glad I never hopped onto the Reddit bandwagon.[/QUOTE] Funny fact, anybody who mentioned her name in the comments to their announcement were shadowbanned. (That were first-post comments.) In theory, this sounds good, in execution, I fear it will be abused heavily.
[QUOTE=Nuggi man;47729146][URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/fatpeoplehate"]www.reddit.com/r/fatpeoplehate 132k subscribers [/URL][/QUOTE] This is a great workout inspiration sub. Anytime you think about "hmm maybe I should skip gym today" you just go on this sub and get scared thin. I have a mother who is fat because of her antidepressives making her all swollen and shit but she knows she isn't 100% healthy and she recognizes it, unlike those planetoid looking motherfuckers who say "I'm such a chubby bunny <3". Fuck those people.
[QUOTE=Hamsteronfire;47729254]daily reminder that criticising ellen pao and her husband's shady practices can get you shadowbanned not to mention to the obscene amounts of censorship and hugboxing that goes on on that site[/QUOTE] There is a very large amount of shady shit in various subs that Reddit doesn't do anything about because they don't actually give a shit.

[QUOTE=Solo Wing;47730832]So you inspire people to be fit by shitting on their self esteem? What a shitty attitude to have.[/QUOTE] And one that doesn't really work to boot.

Shitting on fat people to make them feel bad is really of no use other than possibly entrenching them in their current positions. Some might be inherently lazy but there are others who have genuine problems.

[QUOTE=kweh;47730388]Reddit sucks anyway.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say that it sucks, it does defiantly has a place on the web. But the vote system should be looked at since most users use it the wrong way. (example. I DISAGREE WITH YOU = Down Vote) And that's not the only problem with it.
I seriously hope you guys aren't defending the slow extinction of the human race. These people won't change for anything because of the new hugbox garbage that is clotting up everything. These people are taking your taxpayer money and gobbling it up the same way they gobbled up food because they're "disabled". These people fucked up my mother when she worked as a nurse and make her feel extreme back pain day in, day out. Some of the posts in fatpeoplehate may be overkill, yeah, but overkill is eating yourself into weighing as much as a fucking car. I'm sorry if I offended any fat people, but this is just fucked up.
Fat acceptance is a horrible mindset and I'm all for shitting on people who perpetuate it. Only a small minority actually have genetic disorders that keep them fat, most of it is just dumb excuses because people are too fucking lazy to keep in shape.

Who cares? It's not your problem, don't go shit on people who are overweight just because it angers you.
