about 50% content is like this, no matter what view you select. I think /r/pics has the right idea; it is so dominating. Other subs should change their post to be like this (with their own messages) I think.

Also, what sub did spez mod in 2008?

    CW: horrible subs Yep! Heres a brief list of subs they were forced to ban (I say forced because it took significant pressure always):

    • jailbait and its friends
    • coontown and its friends
    • fatpeoplehate and its friends
    • the_donald and its friends after inciting an insurrection (remember trumps AMA on it? Well you’ll never guess what was being promoted on it in the lead up to january 6th)
    • All of the cartoon CSAM subs
    • I think they enventually banned the beastiality subs after inventing quarantining for them (or was it for fatpeoplehate? I forget lol)
    • During gamergate there were lots of “organizing” subs which were enventually (after the massive amount of damage had been done) quarantined/banned years later

    Stuff they banned to look neutral:

    • chapotraphouse
    • me_ira
    • fullcommunism

    My memory is a bit hazy, but they would always trot out the big leftist sub at the moment for punishment in a spactacular “two sides” moment. The cherry on top is that redditors would always cry and nash of teeth “what about shitredditsays”. Honestly, spez has always been a libertarian ass and aaron swartz derserves better
