not all of them were participating in illegal harassment tho? i've never actually visited the thing in question but it sounds like originally they were just posting pictures of fat people and making fun of them in their own little contained space, which sounds hilarious + awesome

now if this were say a community that you yourself didn't support or a community that targeted you for ridicule how would you react?

are you really making a degree argument when it's already accepted that reddit can do whatever they want with their property. they are legally within their rights and the story ends there. theorycraft all you want about what percentage must be harassers before you would personally shut down a subreddit, but know that it makes you look like a pedantic alarmist and even bigger idiot than usual

wtf are you talking about? i don't want to shut down the subreddit at all. i've already acknowledged that reddit is perfectly within their rights to ban whatever subreddit they want; what i'm saying is that it's lovely of them to do that and nobody should expect them or want them to

man what the gently caress did you think i was going to say to this? "oh yeah, good point, there are people i disagree with. thanks for reminding me that i might want to have them silenced one day"

i guess i forget that some people sincerely believe that people with Wrong Ideas shouldn't get to express them

this seemed like it's edging towards a beep boop 'if harrassing members > 50% close subreddit' argument.

why wouldnt you expect them to shut it down? what about modern corporations and their well known risk-averse nature would lead you to expect them to keep shitholes like this open?

i'm positing an ideal world where people believe in the societal ideal of free speech rather than the narrow "it means the government can't put you in jail and nothing else" definition, so they don't care that a communication medium allows people with distasteful ideas to communicate

anyway i think i'm done here because nobody's going to change their mind and i'm seriously bummed that someone thought "well what about when YOU want to shut someone up" was a good argument

free speech does not mean forcing other people to publish it

i imagine most people here are versed on the difference between confused 1st amendment claims and the considerably more complicated free speech in society with chilling effects, shifting mores, pornography vs obscenity etc arguments so you just came off as needlessly contrarian because i think we can all agree that whether or not these subreddits should be allowed to exist, they are pretty loving unhealthy and weird

jesus we've been over this. he knows that, he is using a different, more general, perhaps useless, concept of free speech not the typical US constitution concept

lol but it's quite literally what he's advocating: that instead of just wiping out the Fat People Hate subreddit, they should put in the effort to specifically remove the illegal content and to do otherwise would be "lovely"
