How dare they prevent Reddit from making advertising profits off of these Mods volunteer work.

Astounding that volunteer moderators cave into such demands. I had no idea people were so invested in their subs.

About this sub

This is a subverse for pointing out faguettery and censorship on Reddit, but also for popular and relevant content.

Posting tips:

After posting a link, don't forget to back up your shared link into at least one web archival service, such as the Wayback Machine (Web.Archive.org) and Archive.Today (Archive.Today).
- Optionally, apply the ?limit=500 URL parameter to archive more comments of a large conversation.
Feedback about this subverse is welcome. Add the “Meta” flair to your post.
To historical posts, preferably add a date at the end of the title and the flair “Historical”.
Note to readers: Posting title does not necessarily constitute endorsement.

Faggit being Faggit.

Why Reddit can not be trusted.

In November 2016, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman (/u/spez) (old.reddit.com) edited comments of users criticizing him. (theverge.com)

Putting words into user's mouths, which means making them appear like they wrote something they never actually did, especially on sensitive posts, is one of the greatest violations of user trust possible.

Although shortly after he applogized and promised never to do it again, it clearly gives away how Reddit tends to handle criticism.
