Time for Reddit, Inc to ban another wave of subs now that the mainstream media is reporting on them.
Same story with /r/n***ers (allowed to exist on Reddit until 2013), /r/CoonTown (banned in 2015, was literally just all the refugees from the previous sub), /r/FatPeopleHate (2015 ban wave), /r/ConsoomProduct (weird alt-right takeover of randomly named subs, banned in 2020).
Reddit, Inc does not care about this stuff until it attracts them negative attention. Any statements about "addressing hate speech on Reddit" always have and always will be performative reactions.
