subreddits

In Reddit's case, it was banning subreddits making fun of fat people, whilst keeping racist and corpse-fetish subreddits around.

Directly connected are all subreddits, which again act as trees to connect all starting posts in one subreddit.

If they were actually telling the idiots to 'take it somewhere else' they'd ban all the subreddits.

Out of the listed subreddits that had banhammers coming, one of them had approximately 120,000 subscribed users.

The front page is in and of itself a separate phenomenon than the rest of the subreddits, in my opinion.

For many subreddits, there are truly fantastic discussions that are very relevant to the subreddit topic.

But you're right, if you customize your subreddits you can avoid a lot of the scum.

If you were a part of those subreddits, and they get banned, take your bullshit elsewhere.

Pun threads are everywhere and even the most serious subreddits appear to me as shallow ghosts of what they once were.

And many subreddits are extremely well maintained with a very high signal to noise ratio.

Real cross-posts could be modeled with a graph, where one post belongs to multiple subreddits.

Blocking subreddits from /r/all is basically essential for a decent reddit experience and is only available with RES or reddit gold.

The assumption seems to be "Reddit-as-imageboard," even though a number of subreddits are much more text-oriented where the large thumbnails serve no purpose other than to show fewer posts at a time.

But reddit's fundamental "asset" is its community, which came about (both implicitly and explicitly) from the idea that reddit is simply a technical platform and actual administration was done by subreddits (modulo the government-imposed censorship of any centralized site).

Every time i see a Soylent post in any non-Soylent corner of the web (HN, non-Soylent Subreddits, etc), there's always 1 (x100) posts of: "Why would you do this!?" I feel like i need someone to describe this to me.
