There’s a new sheriff in town.

WCCO:

The new CEO of Reddit said the popular site is going to clean up its act.

Co-founder Steve Huffman, who has returned to the CEO position, said Reddit will enforce stricter policies on what can and cannot be said on the site.

This includes banning everything from spam to discussions of illegal materials. It would also ban confidential or private information about individuals, as well as harassment and bullying.

“As Reddit has grown, they’ve seen how totally unrestricted free speech can make Reddit a less enjoyable place to visit, and can even cause people harm,” Huffman said.

And there has been a threat of purge.

But CoonTown remains, as mighty as ever.

The ashes clear, but there still stands the shining city on the hill: CoonTown.

Pao is now whining that she was forced to resign by trolls after saying that she thought certain forms of “harassment” should be banned.

I know that some viewed it as a victory when Pao resigned, but as I have said, I think this nutty Chinawoman was the only thing allowing freedom to continue to march, and she was basically just appeasing the media when she told them she was going to do something about speech.

Obviously, it is a serious corporate problem for Reddit, this SJW agenda against them, because if you start banning people for various forms of speech, the censors just keep asking for more, and then you don’t have a site anymore because if people wanted to deal with that crap they’d have stuck to Facebook.

What Reddit has now done is removed ads from CoonTown and other related subreddits, like “well yeah, but we’re not making money off racism.” But what it looks like to the SJWs is that they aren’t making money from it so they are doing it as a free service to evil racists, meaning they themselves must be secret racists.

Because the concept of free speech means less than nothing to SJWs.

The entire SJWeb is now exploding with calls to burn down CoonTown.

They really screwed up when they banned r/fatpeoplehate, because now it looks like it is against the rules to hate fat people but not Blacks, Jews, etc.

I can’t say for certain how this is going to play out, but it is really a novelty that a site such as Reddit continues to host aggressively racist content, and I just can’t see them holding out for long. Though I expected a serious purge as soon as Pao quit, and it doesn’t make sense you would let it drag out like this if you were planning on acquiescing.

So we’ll see.

For now, visit CoonTown, GasTheKikes and WhiteRights while you still can.

The end of your funtimes of pure racial hatred on Reddit have just come to an abrupt end.

Time to head back to /pol/, fags. You never should have left.

Ellen Pao resigned as acting chief executive of Reddit Friday in the latest sign of turmoil at the site, recently roiled by the firing of a popular employee and ongoing tensions over the limits of free speech on its social-news platform.

Reddit co-founder Steve Huffman, also a co-founder of travel site Hipmunk, will become chief executive. Alexis Ohanian, another co-founder who has been working as executive chairman of reddit, will work “alongside” Huffman, said Reddit board head Sam Altman in a statement on Friday.

Controversy erupted around Reddit last week when the company’s director of talent, Victoria Taylor, was dismissed. Site volunteer moderators temporarily shut down around 300 discussion sections in protest.

That controversy did not factor into Pao’s departure, Altman said in an email.

Pao, who battled her former Silicon Valley employer in court earlier this year, said in a separate statement that she was leaving Reddit because the board had asked for higher growth than she thought was possible.

For reasons unknown, Pao was our true champion, an aggressive defender of the rights of racists. But with her gone, it will probably only be a matter of days before all of your racism is gone forever.

Presumably, r/GasTheKikes will be shut down, as well as r/CoonTown. And then they will continue to move through and cleanse all of our Reddit spaces.

Of course, I hope I am wrong. But the pressure was really mounting against Chairman Pao, and I think a big part of why she was forced out was that she was so supportive of free speech in an age where this is a very big no-no.

Hopefully, Pao’s litigious Black husband will help her sue Reddit.

Please consider 8chan as an alternative if all hell does break loose on Reddit.

Note: I am obviously (I hope) being sarcastic when I say Pao was our champion. However, I do think that her being in charge is the only reason that these racist reddits remained active, and I am not joking when I say that most likely a great cleansing is coming.
