Reddit illegal criminal anti freespeech censorship through karma downvoting

Redditeers hate the truth, so they love to shoot the messenger telling honestly them something sucks, that they love, for example EndeavourOS linux. Its not just the laziest unevolved linux, no, its one of the most dangerous data loss failures in history. Plus its an Arch linux, everyone should be warned of getting daily 500 mb updates in comparison to a debian linux, which break the system sooner than later. I havent survived an arch linux longer than 5 weeks max. Plus linux is not a safe user friendly mac os, where everything is secure and protected. The risk to lose data from a linux distro is much higher than on mac. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:DC:CF2E:2200:51D1:C297:4466:D345 (talk) 10:10, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shadow banning

Reddit frequently commits shadow-banning, or removing user posts without notifying the user. Often it is by bot. Examples can be seen at reveddit.com -- as such, it should not be used for any important communications, it is unreliable. Wikinetman (talk) 23:47, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of how frequent it is, I don't see how this is relevant to improving the article. ― novov (t c) 03:56, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How does it not improve the article to have accurate information about the site included? 2600:1700:1B00:15FF:DB5D:EA38:AADD:EB38 (talk) 17:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My impression was they were just making a comment, not asking for changes to be made to the article. ― novov (t c) 22:11, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the 2017 subsection of the "other controversies" section please could you remove the line On April Fools' Day, the collaborative project and social experiment r/place was held for the first time. This is not a controversey and duplicates the content of the "april fools" section. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:43, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merging List of Reddit April Fools' Day events into this article

Right now the list of april fools article is essentially a worse version of the April Fools Day section of this article. There is a lot of primary sources, not enough WP:RS and a lot more WP:Fancruft details than necessary. A merge may be better Soni (talk) 11:31, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the other hand, covering every year directly in this article seems a bit extraneous. Yeah, the successful ones, like the Button and Place, were covered widely enough to warrant a mention but the less successful ones aren't really that much more noteworthy than what any other company does for it's April Fools.

Personally, I'd slim down this article to just have a paragraph on April Fools, and make the list better. ― novov (t c) 08:06, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I somewhat agree with Mir Novov; we could make the list article better by moving the section in this article off into the list, then make the section only a surface-level description. Rusty4321 ^{talk contribs} 15:57, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
