SRDines pine for the good ol days of fat people hate

https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/tsybcw/a_trip_down_memory_lane_when_fatpeoplehate_was?sort=controversial

Apparently the removal of dramatic subs was a good thing for SRD. Still a reminder of how spicy drama used too be on the internet before everything mildly offensive got removed.

Thisโ€™ll be unpopular, but Iโ€™m not sure how different HCA is from FPH in this approach. Plenty of sidebar messages saying โ€œtotally donโ€™t harass people you guiseโ€, butโ€ฆ if you run a community that winks at it (and posts easily-identifiable screenshots of peopleโ€™s accounts on Reddit or elsewhere) that kind of thing happens.

Good recap OP. That was a fun time on reddit. I'm no longer ashamed to mention I use reddit irl nowadays. And now I remember why I didn't want to admit it prior to 2018. Reddit was a bigotry factory before admins started banning subs like fph.

The whole internet changed a ton the last four years. There used to be very little rules about harassment. Now you get your Twitter account banned in the blink of an eye.

It's not just that it got worse, it's the constant denial about how things used to be that gets to me.

This but. Like seriously you can see the reddit boogyman swap when Daddy Trump comes around. It used to be SRS run by Hillary and Soros. Now it's Alt right subreddits that harras poor defenseless redditors.

It was a huge 180ยฐ cultural shift in the Internet. Up until that point, anything remotely pro-feminism on reddit was laughed at and downvoted into obscurity. All that weird gendershit and lefty sneeding? No chance. Heck, back then Pepe was a mainstay of black people twitter.

It was a smaller section of the internet than youโ€™d think but yeah, things used to be like that.

Reddit hates free speech and will go through great lengths to censor. Is this what the internet will become?

if only that guy knew how bad things would get

There are old AskReddit posts about "what will be the downfall of reddit". A common answer is "too many f-slurs". These zoomers don't know how wild it used to be.

This disproportionately affects the black community.

I was looking for all the black wojaks and and an amazing amount of the original artists have been suspended from twitter. You're only allowed to have "civil disagreements" like some kind of posh lily white colonizer in a top hat. Twitter also has ZERO respect for the nuances of AAVE, and as a result, brother words are getting banned as for being "g*mer" words.
