This is insane. Imagine devoting resources of your public university to surveiling people who protest a genocide.

Shame

I really feel like it peaked in 2012 or 2013. Hot on the heels of the "rally to restore the sanity" (which proved the true power of Reddit, but was co-opted and defanged)

Lots of big AMAs but they could be very chaotic.

Allowed content wasn't quite as wild as two years previous but it was still possible to find some real taboo/NSFL/disturbing/subversive communities of all sorts.

The userbase was large but still most of your friends would make fun of you for going there, and your parents didn't even know it existed.

The admin team was still pretty small and they even would make a point to hire users who understood the culture and spirit of the site.

I live in Jeju, South Korea. There's a local development bubble that's going to pop, centered around a boondoggle called the Global Education City.

Yeah... People lose their goddamn minds over minors and sex, like they were never minors themselves 🙄😮‍💨

I got banned for the telling a teenage OP in /r/sex that her yeast infection was probably caused by her boyfriend's dirty fingers. I told her to emphasize cleanliness and hygiene ahead of future encounters. She said she couldn't ask her parents for sexual advice and also couldn't consult a doctor, so I tried to give her immediately useful advice

I was banned for "encouraging sex acts with a minor" but not before a bunch of people called me rude names for "imagining her sexual encounter with her boyfriend"

Throw out seasons... Just do each book however they need to be done. The comic was supposed to hold this promise. I have no idea if they ever finished it though
