It’s gonna be this. You will see the most racist and hideous stuff. And when called out „muh free speech“.

I mean, I kind of appreciate the fact that the mods decided to do this, because they know very well how this'll turn out. Letting such a rancid community out of leash while many of the wholesome communities are on a break is going to be a shitshow worth remembering, and just the kinda stuff that's going to drop Reddit stock in the eyes of advertisers.

With corporate, appealing to morals or ethical conduct is usually pointless. Hitting their potential evaluation though...

Exactly. When this shitstorm gatherers enough strength someone will report about it. Since the jailbait debacle we know that Reddit doesn’t give a shit what happens on its site. They care when important sources from the outside talk about it.

Nobody will be there to call them out anymore. All the people with principles have left. I knew the right will see their opportunity to take over the ruins. So after twitter the second biggest social platform will become a right wing shithole. I'm not sure it should be left to those psychopaths. But since I have principles, I'll delete my account by the end of the month.

I guess that makes spez the balrog...or maybe the cave troll.
