  • Trump supporters create social media platform tailored for them

    A new social media platform for supporters of President Trump has emerged as his backers continue to migrate away from traditional forums such as Reddit. The new website, thedonald.win, was created by users of the r/The_Donald subreddit after Reddit became more controlling about what content could be posted in the forum. In June, the company announced that the subreddit would be “quarantined.” The quarantine, which is still in effect, doesn’t ban the forum but removes certain features and restricts how its content is shared. It also includes a warning about viewing the subreddit. The new website is structured similarly to...

  • Buddy Fletcher and Ellen Pao’s marriage ending with mudslinging and acrimony

    New York Post ^ | August 16, 2019 | 10:34pm | Updated | Carleton English and Emmett Berg
    Buddy Fletcher is so broke he can’t afford his divorce from Ellen Pao, The Post has learned. The former high-flying hedge fund manager — who once rubbed elbows with Lauren Bacall and Roberta Flack — has no lawyer and is representing himself in a divorce from Pao, the former interim CEO of Reddit. He claims in court papers that the divorce, which is ongoing, left him “homeless” at one point, including a period of living in his car. The couple — known as much for Pao’s Silicon Valley gender discrimination claims as Fletcher’s financial downfall — have been slowly working...

    “… we definitely help divide people”Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s CEOIt is impossible to understand the current state of social polarization while ignoring the Internet, and its especially toxic part, which should be called anti-social media (“ASM”). ASM includes Twitter, Facebook, Google, and Reddit. ASM distorts our social and political communications in many ways. The mechanics of ASM generate misunderstanding, hatred, and polarization. ASM leaders multiply this damage by denying that and falsely pointing fingers at Trump and Trump supporters. Lack of Empathy Aggravated by AnonymityASM is not and has never been social.

  • Reddit user offers to pay for sister’s abortion but won’t give same amount to help her choose life

    live Action ^ | AUG 5, 2019 | Cassy Fiano-Chesser
    Why do women choose to have abortions? Often it’s because they think they have no other choice; perhaps they’re struggling financially, they have little to no support from their families, they’re being coerced, they fear their education or career will be compromised. It’s frequently a choice made out of desperation, not desire. With better support, women wouldn’t feel compelled to have an abortion, and a story told on a Reddit message board is a perfect example. A woman, posting under the name “Fruit_Enthusiast,” wrote on a Reddit message board dedicated to finding out who is wrong in an argument, that...

  • Reddit Quarantines Trump-Loving Subreddit The_Donald After Calls For Violence Against Police

    Reddit has moved to quarantine the Donald Trump-loving subreddit r/The_Donald after a spate of messages calling for politically fueled violence. The subreddit, which has been promoted as the largest online community for supporters of President Trump, had seen a surge in posts regarding the recent political standoff in Oregon, which has been marked with tensions and threats of violence. Many of the posts and statements from users made threats against police officers, some vague and others direct. Those who tried to access r/The_Donald were met with a message saying the subreddit had been quarantined for these threats of violence against...

    Reddit’s “The_Donald” group claims 740,000 subscribers, or “patriots,” as they call themselves. This raucous corner of the internet is home to all things wonderful about Trump and tends to get slammed by critics as toxic to the public discourse. From Islamophobia and misogyny to disinformation and propaganda, the group is often called out for violating Reddit’s rulebook. Yet, even as more sites have been purged across social media, “The_Donald” is still going strong. But why? Let former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao explain it: ‘The fear that platform employees have of their users drives a lot of decision making in ways...
  • Reddit Page Bans White People From Posting

    A Reddit page dedicated to black issues has declared that white people are no longer allowed to post there anymore. The forum, r/BlackPeopleTwitter, posted an “important announcement,” which stated, “Due to the overwhelming number of white people and white opinions present on BTP, we are now restricting access to this sub for black folks only.” Non-black people then responded to the post by humiliating themselves, embracing their white guilt, and begging to be allowed to post again. “Super white dude here. I’d like to apply for the token white guy position,” responded one white user. “I won’t post or comment...

    Hong Kong Standard ^ | 22 November 2018 | Nurri Vittachi
    Users of Reddit, a rowdy international website, were shocked yesterday when someone posted a list of Hong Kong football teams with names such as White Youth and French Kiss. Before anyone complains, White Youth isn't racist and has Asian members. But still, Hongkongers probably wouldn't want to wear White Youth T-shirts when visiting Western countries, where almost everyone seems to have a desperate need to feel mortally offended all the time. At least our club names are not as awkward as Deportivo Moron of Argentina. The team comes from the district that houses the memorably named Moron University, an actual...

    Reddit CEO Steve Huffman on Wednesday detailed the "war room" the company has created to fend off foreign misinformation campaigns on the fifth most-visited U.S. site, saying the collaborative effort has helped the company address the issue. Huffman told NBC News that the company has multiple teams dedicated to addressing the spread of misinformation and protecting the site from manipulative behavior. The look inside the "war room" comes just a few weeks ahead of the midterm elections, which experts have warned are a target for foreign entities attempting to influence American voters. "They’re not simple issues," Huffman told NBC. "The...

    Chalet Reports has just been subjected to the most hypocritical, two-faced, bigoted, and abusive censorship that I have had the displeasure of witnessing in my many years as an editor. I normally don’t get directly involved in creating material for Chalet Reports because of my own traffic load in preparation of books for publication by Chalet Books, but this egregious abuse of the First Amendment by a forum that claims to be a champion of free speech is more than any rational human being who cares about freedom of expression can stand by silently and watch. David Reznor is among...

Top Reddit moderators made Big League Politics aware of the fact that “The Great Awakening” was banned Tuesday night at 11:45 PM. The subreddit has been down all day. The Great Awakening subreddit served as an informal platform for followers of the Q Anon movement, as well as for other independent researchers.

    On Sept. 12, European Parliament voted for the Copyright Directive. This updating of online copyright tries to make certain media companies and publishers are paid for their work when shared on Facebook or YouTube and aggregated by such sites as Google News. Articles 11 and 13 of this law has been harshly criticized both by internet experts and companies. Article 11 grants publications copyright over any online content sharing. In practice, this means sites could charge services like Hacker News and Reddit for aggregating their stories. This is being called a link tax. Article 13 requires content sharing sites to...

    Reddit has banned its subreddit devoted to QAnon conspiracy theories, stating that it violated rules against “inciting violence, harassment, and the dissemination of personal information.” NBC News reporter Brandy Zadrozny tweeted about the ban of r/GreatAwakening earlier today. It’s the second high-profile purge of a QAnon subreddit — a board called r/CBTS_stream was banned in March for repeatedly violating Reddit guidelines. Some of the subreddit’s users have regrouped on Reddit clone Voat, which takes a more hands-off approach to moderation. The QAnon conspiracy theory, which is based around cryptic internet comments from an anonymous poster known as “Q,” began on...
