earlier i googled to find out what happened to a racism subreddit and the top result was a discussion of that subreddit in something called /r/rage in 2014 and it was both remarkably chill and aggressively pro free speech 2014 wasnt that long ago. hmmm

I was thinking about the decline of reddit a few weeks ago, trying to sketch a timeline in my head. The ousting of VA seems like the beginning of the end, in hindsight. Also, remember SRS? It's bizarre to think they won so decisively the entire site is now to the left of them.

oh yeah i looked at them a year or two ago and the subreddit seems dead

You could for sure make a good case that the r/jb debacle created the modern relationship between journalists and internet moderators.

IMO this relationship was healthy for a while. Take the boston bomber incident for example; the media criticized internet moderation in a way that it hadn't done before (and which nowadays is only done w/ extreme partisanship).
