New Reddit CEO is doubling down on maintaining sections of the site dedicated to hate speech by simply hiding them from their advertisers.

Reddit's “quarantine” strategy badly misunderstands the problem. Racist subreddits function to reinforce and encourage hateful individuals.
-
Racist subreddits work to transform individualized hate into collectivized hate and those groups then use the forums to organize cyber mobs.
-
Reddit isn’t obligated to provide space for racists and misogynists to congregate, organize and recruit. The company is choosing to do that.

@CringeChannel are you seriously that dense? There's an obvious line. One side is hate speech, on the other NO FUCKING HATE SPEECH! - 20 more replies

@femfreq Large swaths of Reddit also function as ideological incubators for censorship which then bleed over into the rest of the internetThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq reddit is a microcosm of the world... not sure that getting rid of those areas on reddit is going to change anything. -
@SweetChuck@femfreq Not true, reddit's userbase is predominantly young white males in massive disproportion with the rest of the world. -
@JulianNotaro1@femfreq with that exception granted, I think reddit is more like a microcosm than not. -
@SweetChuck@femfreq That has big implications. Means reddit certain ideas are much more likely to be accepted on reddit than elsewhere... -
@SweetChuck@femfreq Could be as benign as support for a fringe candidate like Rand Paul or as malignant as rascism/misogyny. -
@SweetChuck@femfreq *Ron Paul not Rand Paul. Though idk maybe reddit likes him too.

@femfreq That's what happens when you create a website focused on creating a bunch of echo-chambers for every view imaginable. -
@trufflesguylaw@femfreq Isn't that just a definition of the internet as a whole? -
@simone_s_86 Especially Reddit. Subreddits makes it so you can have forums for very specific topics, creating that echo chamber effect. -
@trufflesguylaw And so on... and echo chambers affect all ideologies and are something we should all be aware of as a source of fallacies. -
@simone_s_86 I agree 100% with what you're saying.
