Steve's take on Reddit these days almost seems like he's doubling down on the whole "free speech" thing for better or for worse.

I personally left the site after eleven years. Steve actually permanently banned me after I had pointed out a few instances where racism was not only allowed to live, but seemingly encouraged.

I can think of at least one subreddit that often hits the top of r/all that will limit posts only to people who have sent a picture of their forearm to the mod to verify their race. Somehow that is allowed. Literally submitting a picture of your skin for the color to be judged. headdesk

Why not, forearms are still pretty identifiable, all the pictures of forearms, user names, and IP addresses will subject to administrative subpoena the next time something happens.

Or if someone feels like it.

What keeps me on is staying out of the r/all subs. Ever since forums have pretty much waned (rather SEO buried them from the light of day) subreddits are all that's left for niche interest forums or local groups. It's also painless to make your own subreddits.

Occasionally I'll be logged out of reddit and see the new defaults and my god, I feel like I'm getting dumber.

Permabanned by an admin and founder after 11 years as a user? That's actually quite impressive, unless you did something obviously outrageous.

Turns out he doesn't enjoy being tagged in the racist comments.
