I'm not even sure what your point is. Yeah I'd rather sleep with a dakimakura of my waifu Renge-chan than with some random 3D slut but that doesn't mean I'm desperate, it's the opposite, it implies that I have standards.
There are subs dedicated to absolutely illegal activities too... Shoplifting, various drugs, etc...
How are those any different and why aren't they banned?
In most of the world it's not illegal to be a nazi (however immoral it may be) but it is illegal to shoplift. I'm not saying that /r/nazi shouldn't have been banned but perhaps the admins need to apply their policies a bit more fairly...
Surely if this was a concern they would ban the subs devoted to connecting drug dealers with drug buyers. I think its pure strain incompetence at this point, although most definitely with a heavy helping of laziness.
I'm semi-convinced that they one day they took a look at the /r/Drama mod team and decided:
"We could be like them. We could be the laziest shits on the planet, do nothing but remove dox once in a while. Everybody would hate us just as everyone hates them, but I don't get paid enough to deal with this shit."
There are subs dedicated to absolutely illegal activities too... Shoplifting, various drugs, etc...
There are subs where people straight up advertise selling drugs. I suspect they exist because Reddit's management just straight up doesnt know its users are up to in the more nooklike crannies of the site. Theres absolutely no way in hell a sane management team would let their site be used to facilitate the sale of various drugs no matter how much bullshit theyve talked about free speech in the psat.
Going forward, we will take action against any content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual or a group of people
Please try to pay attention to what is actually going on before you comment. In what world does the shoplifting subreddit meet the criteria for the current purge?
No? I'm showing you how the nazi and the shoplifting subreddits are different when you look at why that admins are banning the subs they are banning. Isn't that what you were wondering? And, stop giving the admins ideas, please. One day I may need to know what to do with a bunch of stolen gift cards, or want to buy some drugs, and I want reddit to be there for me.
Whataboutism (also known as whataboutery) is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument, which is particularly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda. When criticisms were leveled at the Soviet Union, the Soviet response would be "What about..." followed by an event in the Western world.
The term "whataboutery" has been used in British English since the period of The Troubles conflict in Northern Ireland. Lexicographers date the first appearance of the variant whataboutism to the 1990s, while other historians state that during the Cold War Western officials referred to the Soviet propaganda strategy by that term.
Going forward, we will take action against any content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual or a group of people; likewise, we will also take action against content that glorifies or encourages the abuse of animals.
OK, put your money where your mouth is and start banning subs, but not just right-leaning subs. If this is the policy then it needs to be applied fairly to every single sub.
There are plenty of left leaning subs calling for people to punch nazis but I guarantee you they won't get banned. Same with subs based around minorities that have posts that suggest violence against white people.
/r/Incels preaches violence against women, why isn't it banned?
Some of the far left leaning feminist subs suggest violence against men, again why aren't they banned?
The point is, a left-leaning sub isn't going to get banned for doing the exact same thing (sometimes worse) than what a right leaning sub does. I'd have a hell of a lot more respect for Reddit admins if they would just admit that this new policy won't be applied fairly instead of pretending it will be.
Right now they're banning super easy targets, gore subreddits and blatantly offensive shit. They won't dare go after shit like T_D or anarchism, and they don't want anyone to realize incels is a thing so they won't ban it unless it gets anderson coopered like jailbait.
They aren't going to ban a subreddit dedicated to a sitting president, no matter how much they want to. Besides, banning /r/The_Donald would cause a huge shitstorm and public relations nightmare. In theory it could be enough to ruin reddit.
That's my point, there are subreddits (not just T_D and not just on the right) that are basically untouchable because of the backlash they would deal with, and others they won't touch because they reallllllllly don't want people realizing they exist. Like S4P was pretty comparable to T_D, and it was just as untouchable until revolution messaging shut it down.
T_D is a big circlejerk for the current president, and Reddit’s “management” want to avoid a 3am tweetstorm from the shitter in the Lincoln Bedroom, but no negative PR is going to come out of banning anarchism because anyone who’d be mad is already subbed there.
Banning the subreddit doesn't ban the users. Remeber the FPH shit storm? If a subreddit throws a sperg out like that, they'll wind up banning a lot of users.
That sub existed to dare admins to ban it. The admins also emailed me saying it is just satire before following through. It only took several OC videos about wanting to kill specific users.
Yes. True Aryans won't have sex with any other human because of the risk of polluting their gene pool with inferior non-wypipo genes. This is what Nazis believe.
"Of these, the largest had under 7,000 subscribers and the smallest had just 25"
Has anything larger been banned since or is this officially just reddit posturing? With the rampant nazi scourge going on in the US right now I'd expect larger subs than 7k to fall to the crusades

You're falling into the media trap of actually believing that there are a ton of nazis and white nationalists around. In reality, there aren't. 7000 sounds about right for that sort of sub.

It makes sense once you realise reddit the company is only concerned with two guiding principles:

- Avoiding lawsuits/bad press

Drug addiction is violent... have you ever seen what it does to the human body? It's violent.
Shoplifting, while not typically violent isn't legal and shouldn't be condoned on reddit.
Most Nazis aren't violent either, nor is it technically illegal.
