Analysis Reddit turns down moderators who want action on Covid misinformation

Reddit, the sprawling social media site known for its community-guided ethos, rejected a plea from moderators of a pro-vaccine forum to do more to combat Covid-19 misinformation. Instead, Reddit doubled down on a well-worn “open forum” argument that has practically become a Silicon Valley cliche.

    If Reddit started disallowing all of it’s toxic and misinformed communities it wouldn’t have much audience left.

    Well, when Fark banned misogyny, a huge group of asshole Farkers started a subreddit explicity for Fark exiles. They all showed up at some Fark party and they were PISSED. They knew that one of the moderators had complained about misogyny to the site’s owner and they wanted revenge for not being able to say horrible things about women in general.

    Fortunately, they had no idea what this moderator looked like. The site may have fewer people, but it’s a hell of a lot nicer. Except the Politics tab. That place is a toilet.
