I think that particular subreddit is being generous about the issue because they overwhelmingly support the Antminer manufacturer on a completely separate issue (increased block sizes). That issue is more-or-less the big schism at the moment between /r/btc and /r/bitcoin.

If that's confusing, as a hypothetical example: You just linked to an /r/conservative thread about Trump's alleged Russian ties.

The opposing subreddit (i.e. the /r/politics thread) is much less forgiving about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/67qwqv/antbleed_ex...

The analogy helps a lot. Funny how that reality distortion field effect kicks in for something that seems obviously bad.
