let's continue on voat.co

voat.co is just the same. And it doesn't work most of the time.

yes it is same with one difference. it is not moderated and they are allowing discussion about pretty much everything. also fph moved here. I know, that is almost everytime down and slow and their android app (Versa) is quite slow and shitty, but they are just starting and I with them luck.

there should be some platform without censorship (anyway, of course that nazi stuff or child porn should be banned everywhere..)

That's random. Where do you draw the line?  It's not legality, because nazi stuff is legal in most countries, but if you ban hate speech in general there's no room for FPH.

line is already drawn and respected and majority of forums for couple of years and is called Godwin's law. more details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law

anyway, everybody should have some piece of common sense inside and decide be own, what is still acceptable and what is behind border. those discussions are not about mods or rules, but about behavior, manners and maturity of users..

Some of the subreddits have now gone back to public, such as /r/science and /r/gaming.

/r/pics deleting anything with 'Victoria' in the title and banning the poster.


******

Can confirm was banned for the use of "Victorian"

***

Hm, so the site renowned for not being censored is now being censored. This is actually really sad...


**********

They are deleting all pics with any reference such as this one even if the word is not in the title. I haven't been banned or blocked though.

That is actually quite sad, the use of censorship. Post with "Vict0ria" instead of "Victoria" if someone really wants to post about Victoria. (You risk getting banned, post about Victoria at your own risk.)

That's amazing how such a large amount of sub reddits have chosen to go dark in protest.

Reddit is hard at work pushing its public valuation to DIGG territory.

I don't like Ellen Pao, but I also don't like how the moderators of reddit are acting.

Of course they are not getting paid for the right of making decisions about what's allowed to post by millions of people ...


Enjoy.

I didn't expect that:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BringBackPao
https://www.change.org/p/reddit-bring-back-pao

Waiting for her to sue reddit for sexual discrimination or something...

I don't think that's going to happen.

Don't pay it no mind. Got a little riled up in his hate fantasy.

You are doing just fine. Every troubadour needs a fan club anyway...




I'll stop right there as this is not my thread and do not want to pollute it any further...

Just as long as you bow out after getting one last obnoxiously large picture in, you wouldn't want to risk over-polluting the thread!
