Other than the loud minority of trolls trying to get revenge by flooding other subreddits, what I have found distasteful is the lack of consistent enforcement. I certainly disliked jailbait and creepshots and fatpeoplehate, and I can see why they would be banned and can even get behind some of the reasons. The thing is that almost all of the given reasons aren't really the case or else places like srs would have been shut down too, as they have a long history of inciting harassment of individuals including doxxing. All that said this isn't going to be the end of reddit, just like every other scandal that seems to pop up around once every 3 months fails to be the end of reddit. I just know that I'm personally sick of both the admins' wishy-washy rule enforcement and the trolls petty revenge.
Consistent rule enforcement, what a dream. I like to think that if SRS had been in the group of initial bans, this whole outpouring/protest wouldn't have had nearly as much steam. As is, with them only banning non-politically correct subreddits, it's obvious that this whole thing wasn't about saving people from harassment, it was about cleaning up ugly stains on reddit's front page. I loved "the fattening" because even if it was under the guise of saving one dumb subreddit, it was basically a huge protest against the bad practices of reddit admins.
I agree to a certain extent. I think it's really easy to forget that reddit is not only a company looking to make a profit, but one beholden to a board of directors who are looking to be able to sell it off and make a profit. The best way to do that is to make it seem like it's a safe place, but not actually do too much to make that a reality as that would be expensive.
