    Right, but Reddit’s whole schtick was that it was more of a free speech sort of place, so long as you didn’t do anything overtly illegal. That’s the user base it built. When you get rid of your user base, you typically destroy the site.

    Just look at LiveJournal. Chased out the users because they wanted to clamp down on the gays in Russia, and I haven’t heard of anyone with a LiveJournal in over a decade.

      When? 10 years ago, it was already a hunting zone for moderators. Not as bad as nowadays, yes, but bad nonetheless.
