Now Reddit are coming for the individual personal subreddits

> And they should reign in the moderators, their abuses have angered way too many users.

Moderators are always going to be hated by some segment unfortunately.

There will always be people who just want to show up in a space and act like an asshole, then cry "censorship" when they are asked to leave.

I kind of want moderators on Reddit to stop moderating just to show how quickly it would kill the platform. Popular subreddits would be overrun with bots and hate speech within a week. Then the real user exodus would begin, meanwhile Reddit has to try and convince their remaining advertisers that bots and racists are worth advertising to.

Who is an asshole is an opinion. And no one likes being censored. One man's hate speech is another man's basic truism. It's why there is no federal law in America against "hate speech" because there's no objective way to classify it. Your disdain for people who disagree with you says nothing about them and a great deal about you.

It's an opinion... but there is still a somewhat rough sort-of-consensus. It's not what you say; it's how you say it. It's how you treat other people.

You totally miss the point. It's not that they say things that people disagree with. It's that they're being a jerk. And then, often, when they get booted, they say "you censor people who disagree!" No, we don't. We get rid of jerks because they're being jerks, not because of their ideas.
