You know mediamatters wrote that article before Reddit took action right? Reddit used that article as the justification for something they clearly wanted.

It was the Oregon GOP rep that said [If you send the police to get us, send bachelors].

I think it’s a little more complicated than you make it out to be.

It’s a larger discussion of what can mods with a large subreddit be responsible for. Is it reasonable to assume that in a sub that is typically pro police that some users that posted comments get the sub shut down? If that is the standard, can we prove mediamatters didn’t make those posts to point to for effect?

Maybe you are right; but mediamatters is BEYOND extreme bias so let’s not use them as an authority, and there is clearly hypocrisy at Reddit if threats against police “were” a problem.
