The reddit administration honestly does very little active moderation. It's a shocker that they actually enforced their rules in the title.

Almost all censorship is moderation. And that's "decentralized" and not part of the company itself.

Honestly, Reddit would be better if they started laying down the law.




Reddit removed The_Donald from showing up in All, changed their search algorithm, and changed the number of active users showing up on T_D (they screwed up and you could see the true number on their ad buy portal).

Those were all 100% admin actions to censor, not moderator actions.


And T_D should be banned years ago for blatant doxxing, brigading, and threats of violence, all clear violations of Reddit's rules.

The admin has repeatedly been too scared to enforce their own rules, just doing half measures like that to pass the buck.
