I agree to a certain extent, but one of reddit's best attributes has always been having the freedom, as an average user, to speak your mind. Not that I support being an asshole on the internet. Like you said, there is some truly heinous shit on certain parts of reddit. I just believe that banning it tends to take us into an awkward grey area, in which site administrators decide which content is okay for us to see and we don't get a say. In a situation like that, the site becomes less user driven and more admin driven. That's what's been happening with reddit recently. It's no coincidence that this exodus began when the reddit admins began cracking down on subs like FPH. It's part of the larger issue of lack of transparency, commercialization, and censorship on reddit. Users don't feel that reddit is "theirs" anymore. And that disullionment all comes back to admin censorship of content. Even if said content is disgusting and immoral.
