So, the original reddit of congenial discourse that everyone is so nostalgic about was only that way because of spez's careful manipulation of speech? Hilarious.
Honestly, I didn't leave reddit because of the cries of censorship (except for /r/news constantly deleting posts about the TPP, that pissed me right off and is true censorship if you ask me). I left because the discourse was so very, terribly toxic. To the point where i would censor myself by not posting something I really, really wanted to, in order to prevent those neckbeards Yishan was talking about from downvoting me while piling on the insults and threats.
Being a woman on reddit is really, truly scary today. Especially after the gamergate fiasco.
Depends on which corner of reddit. I keep mine pretty safe and I don't even need to moderate it much for it because it's not very problematic if you never let it take root. But Snapzu had no dangerous corner so it's even better.

I truly hope that this community itself doesn't and will never care about what gender a poster is.
