      Reddit fears retribution, especially the fiscal kind.

      The fediverse is not immune to bullying by powerful people, but it’s much more of a pain as we more resemble a hydra.

    No offense, but r/TheDeprogram was actually a pretty toxic community. It doesn’t surprise me that it got banned.

      I hope it doesn’t surprise anyone it was banned. But let’s not pretend its because they were toxic. The only reason Reddit has ever pumped the breaks on a toxic community that wasn’t politically left is when they were dragged over the coals in the mainstream news about it and it threatened to hurt their advertising revenue.

      TheDeprogram’s ban is political censorship. If you don’t embrace late-stage capitalism, it is not safe to build a community on Reddit.
