Im sure you know all about these situations. Im sure at no point has a site like Tumblr gone through the exact same issues with NSFW and publicly discussed that they faced these issues because of investors and credit card payment processors. Nope, I must be some poorly informed naive person who is accepting what Spez said uncritically rather than comparing it to a well documented similar problem that another website faced.
On the issue of direct targeted death threats why not try making one similar to those posts in a different public forum like facebook and see how fast your account gets banned. This one is common sense as you cannot legally call for the deaths of a specific person in the usa. If you lack the ability to read between the lines Im saying I believe the new accounts were created to make these threats so the sub could get shut down because WPT was anti-Musk/Trump
Nothing you list would make you informed about these situations. I modded subs for years so you aren't taking about hidden knowledge there.
Knowing admins means what exactly? They aren't having the conversation about if porn is on the platform or not. They likely aren't deciding which subs get axed either as that should be handled by an executive not an admin.
Im not arguing Huffman is a good person only that Reddit wasn't acting entirely unreasonably in these cases again based on publicly available information regarding why Tumblr axed porn.
Says the guy whose POV is “trust me bro I know people who have nothing to do with these decisions”
I’ll continue thinking you have no idea what you’re talking about compared to the information you can find online about these situations.
