Wow man. Is this reddit or the fucking stormfront forums?
 
Looks like the #gamergate mention clock had gone too long without a reset on reddit. An entire front page thread sperging about Daily Stormer and it's connection/celebration/recruiting campaign from Gamergate.

...and then there's this. It wouldn't be a proper reddit circlejerk if half a dozen troons made it about themselves.

AgainstHateSubreddits might just be one of the worst subs there is nowdays. That's a pretty big accomplishment considering all the faggotry that clusters together on that site.

TIL seeing a happy merchant meme instantly polymorphs you into a Nazi. It's not like you just roll your eyes and go "oh this faggotry again."

I can't believe people are still talking about GamerGate.
I also can't believe people get paid to review video games.

In my mind, I group the AHS and FTAR subs together because of the overlap between users. That mod is truly insane though. Can someone tell me what the fuck kind of insult "pajama Nazi" is supposed to be?

The only reason I still visit reddit is for combatfootage and watchpeopledie. If I need a laugh, I'll post some imsane, off the wall anti-Trump shit on politics just to see how many updoots I can get.

I googled "pajama Nazi" and just got a bunch of images of people in concentration camps, so maybe they mean Jews? Either that or KKK members cuz of their outfits
 
r/SubredditCancer 's mods are shutting it down.

https://www.reddit.com/r/subredditcancer/comments/9uhbz6/important_announcement/

https://web.archive.org/save/https:...ancer/comments/9uhbz6/important_announcement/

It is with a great deal of reluctance and disappointment that we have decided to close r/SubredditCancer from this point forward. The moderators here have discussed this at great length and come to the inescapable conclusion that reddit is no longer a place for free discussion or the open exchange of ideas. The writing has been on the wall for a while now and it's time to face it.

As a consequence we are locking and archiving the subreddit. You will still be able to view the content, but we will not be taking new submissions from this point forward. All threads other than this one will be locked and this thread too will be locked in around three days

We've never been enthusiastic about heavily moderated platforms, but the precedent set by the reddit administration has made it abundantly clear that if we wish to stay out of quarantine (or worse) we have had to compromise those principles and to our great distaste give certain "celebrity" redditors preferential treatment.

We see no further point relinquishing our guiding vision and turning this subreddit into another "safe space" for "acceptable" opinions only.

For a while we had some hopes that things like the administration's healthy communities policy would signal an attitude change in the right direction, but it's obvious now that it was little more than hot air that would only be enforced very selectively.

This subreddit has had little effect and has just become an exhausting list of the abuses of moderators and the outright indifference (at best) shown by the administration to this pattern of behaviour. Rather than being a place that might turn things around or shake reddit out of its apathetic decline into another Facebook substitute, we've been little more than a palliative care unit for people to congregate and watch it happen.

There have been other problems our contributors have brought with them. This subreddit was never intended to favour one side of politics over another, yet posters and commenters seem to think this is the place for pushing their personal agendas.

There are other subreddits and websites for that sort of thing.

I'd now like to include closing statements which were prepared by some of our other moderators in discussing this announcement

Rather than selectively editing their statements, I'll let them stand as they were written:

( from u/FreeSpeechWarrior)

The hostility of Reddit's administration and the inexorable advance of moderator censorship render their verdict: we have chosen to discontinue treatment and archive r/subredditcancer

The banning of hateful subreddits, or admins dismissing our concerns with dehumanizing language are not the hills that r/subredditcancer is dying on, they are the canaries in the coal mine that indicate the admins have no more sympathy for the views Reddit grew to prominence under and will never reverse course.

The recent focus on hate communities on Reddit has deceptively fostered the false impression that Reddit still supports freedom of speech independently as an ideal to strive for.

But our opposition to "cancer" on Reddit started as and has always been primarily subreddit cancer: the trends of insular, nepotistic moderation culture on Reddit censoring content in ways that lead to bias whether intentional or otherwise.

For the past 5 years our community has worked to bring attention to this problem that the owners and administrators of reddit have refused to confront and instead choose to enable.

In this time we've seen the admins turn a blind eye to the abuse and punishment that power mods dispense upon the average reddit user. They've encouraged communities to automate abuse through the use of software, allowing them to police the website in very dystopian ways under the banner of protecting people from words that have not yet been written.

We've seen a succession of failed CEOs who have made the website progressively more user-hostile. The actions that led to the reddit Blackout of 2015 created a rift that reddit has been unable or unwilling to heal. Instead of standing up to mods who were holding the website hostage reddit capitulated and committed to building tools to help mods to further consolidate control.

That's not to say that the admins and moderators bear all of the blame for the current state of reddit. There are users who abuse the platform and actively try to make it a hostile place for others. These days they're consolidated in the political subreddits and they are here only to attack and harass others. Some of them are welcome in the mainstream political subs because people agree with their particular brand of hate. There are others who are not so welcome, and as a result they're seeing their gathering places on reddit banned and quarantined. They're increasingly moving into r/subredditcancer to abuse our subreddit as a platform to harass others. As we observe the behavior of reddit wrt quarantines and bans it is our belief that SRC will not be allowed to exist for long outside of quarantine or ban if current trends continue.

So it is with great sadness we acknowledge that reddit is beyond saving. We are at a point where the admins endorse the abuse of part of the reddit population by activist moderators. We are at a point where the admins are trolling our team here for daring to stand up for openness and transparency.

We'd rather peacefully end the sub on our own terms in a way that allows our documentary efforts of past abuses to stand for posterity without giving pretext to censor and mischaracterize our past efforts as has happened to other controversial subs.

We are immensely grateful for the support of those who have been with us as we tried to remain true in our mission to stand against abusive moderation of reddit.

We don't know what the future holds, but we hope that everyone finds peace in whatever is to come.

Those who are not ready to give up, we encourage you to find more effective outlets for expressing your frustration with the reddit community:

Admin sponsored subs:

Community subs:

Those who are ready to move on, we encourage exploring alternative platforms that are still committed to freedom of speech online:

You may find others in r/RedditAlternatives, but you will have to use your discretion.

( from u/Reburninator)

Over the years we've seen the admins turn a blind eye to the abuse and punishment that power mods dispense upon the average reddit user. They've encouraged communities to automate abuse through the use of software, allowing them to police the website in very dystopian ways under the banner of protecting people from words that have not yet been written.

We've seen a succession of failed CEOs who have increasingly turned the website hostile and have worked to erase the vision that Aaron Schwartz had of a platform for open communication. The actions that led to the reddit Blackout of 2015 created a rift that reddit has been unable or unwilling to heal. Instead of standing up to mods who were holding the website hostage reddit capitulated and committed to building tools to help mods to further consolidate control. Steve Huffman, aka u/spez, violated the trust of all reddit users by changing people's words and then went on a campaign to erase one of reddit's most popular subreddits from visibility. He oversaw the sunsetting of the defaults, and at the same time, lifted rules that limited the number of the largest subreddits people could moderate. This solidified the power consolidation and that was the beginning of the end of reddit as a platform for open discussion.

That's not to say that the admins bear all of the blame for the current state of reddit. There are users who abuse the platform and actively try to make it a hostile place for others. These days they're consolidated in the political subreddits and they are here only to attack and harass others. Some of them are welcome in the mainstream political subs because people agree with their particular brand of hate. There are others who are not welcome, and as a result have become so hateful that they're seeing their gathering places on reddit banned and quarantined. They're increasingly moving into r/SubredditCancer and abusing our subreddit as a platform to harass others.

That's why it is with great sadness that we announce that we are archiving r/SubredditCancer. We aren't going private. We aren't going to try to get it banned to prove a point. We are going to turn it into a museum that showcases our lone attempt to try to preserve what made reddit great. Why? Because we've simply realized that reddit is beyond saving. We are at a point where the admins endorse the abuse of part of the reddit population by activist moderators. We are at a point where the admins are trolling our team here for daring to stand up for openness and transparency. We know there's nothing we can do.

So, in closing, we want to thank those of you who have been with us as we tried to remain true in our mission to stand against abusive moderation of reddit.

Some other mods may choose to leave comments regarding all of this in the thread itself.

Finally, I'd like to thank our genuine supporters and even our constructive critics, but mostly I would like thank the mods here who have done so much to help out. Several have already abandoned reddit and there was the one particularly bad apple, but that's history now.

Comments in this thread will be censored more heavily than usual to avoid hateful speech and harassment out of an abundance of caution to avoid any potential pretext for quarantining or banning our community.

This thread will be kept open for three days, we ask you to remain respectful and pay your respects or say your piece in the comments below.

P.S. Reddit has a long tradition of April Fools gags so I thought I would close this subreddit with the joke that came true.

Trying to wade through that wall of text, I can't even work out what the specific beef was. Seems like just "other subs got banned a few months back, so fuck it- we're out, and we're taking our bat and ball with us". They're refusing to hand over modship to r/SRC regulars who are willing to take over. So basically mods chucking a tantrum.

r/SrC inevitably turned into a partisan shithole (probably still better than 90% of reddit tbh) but I can't think of any other times I've seen mods announce they're closing like this, rather than the sub just getting privated or banned. Kinda fucked, though, seeing as it was the main sub for addressing censorship, sketchy mod practices, etc on reddit.

tl: dr mods = fags

I recall browsing that subreddit from time to time to witness any good mod drama and some brigadings from other subreddits. Missed the guy that literally thought a lot of Reddit mods are Muslim including the ones at r/the_donald (no, seriously):
