Reddit has a very specific policy prohibiting people from threatening bodily harm or attempting to incite violence. It uses this policy as the basis for banning individual accounts, discussion threads, and whole subreddits. Basically if you cross the line, you’re gone. Unless you’re a member of the r/TheDonald subreddit.

A Redditor who posted information about a Jehovah’s Witness-affiliated organization has won the right to defend themselves in court under a pseudonym. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which represented the user known only as Darkspilver, successfully argued that unmasking them put them at risk of being cast out by their Jehovah’s Witness community.

2018 and part of 2019 was called "the crypto winter" by many due to huge losses. Bitcoin tumbled from its all-time-high of nearly $20K during December 2017 to $3400 in roughly a year. This massive market reversal caused many newcomers to the cryptocurrency space at a loss. These losses have caused a lot of anguish and personal issues to investors and individuals. Many have reported massive losses while expecting gains. It appears that it may have even broken up a marriage or 2.

My years-long journey to the top of Reddit's karma leaderboards has only made me feel more alone.

Reddit is raising $150 million to $300 million to keep the front page of the internet running, multiple sources tell TechCrunch. The forthcoming Series D round is said to be led by Chinese tech giant Tencent at a $2.7 billion pre-money valuation. Depending on how much follow-on cash Reddit drums up from Silicon Valley investors and beyond, its post-money valuation could reach an epic $3 billion. As more people seek esoteric community and off-kilter entertainment online, Reddit continues to grow its link-sharing forums. Indeed, 330 million monthly active users now frequent its 150,000 Subreddits.

Who really thinks about where the money is coming from as long as you get the money?

What happens when the front page of the internet is funded by the company that made the Great Firewall in China? Reddit, the internet forum for communities, posts, and news, is currently fundraising to keep itself afloat, with a $300 million goal. Half of that goal has already been met, thanks to a massive investment of $150 million from Chinese censorship company Tencent.

An investigation by Engadget and Point has unearthed troubling details that show several Russia-linked propaganda websites and trolls are continuing to influence pro-Trump communities on Reddit. Last September, numerous posts on Reddit's "The_Donald" forum were discovered to have originated from the websites brutalist.press and usareally.com. Both of these domains have been linked to Russia's Internet Research Agency and individuals under investigation by Robert Mueller's team. This latest discovery shows the problem is much worse than originally believed.

Artist Alex Biagi refuses to let a disease that nearly robbed him of the use of his limbs prevent him from giving back to his community. Biagi, 38, earned Reddit’s adoration February 16 after he shared a photo of him painting a fox for an event benefiting the animal shelter Life Is Better Rescue in Denver, Colorado. What struck a chord with redditors on r/pics was the sight of Biagi painting with a brush in his mouth.

“Bad enough to have to deal with Russian Ops and the Alt-Right, but now we have to deal with Chinabots as well.”

Reddit may make $119 million in ad revenue in 2019. The popular online social platform is also on its way to more than double its ad revenues by 2021, according to market analysis firm eMarketer's forecasts. "As a mix of forum and trending news site with a bit of social network, Reddit has operated on an 'open internet' ethos," Monica Peart, director of eMarketer forecasting, said in a statement. "Reddit's users are tech savvy and highly engaged, making them attractive to advertisers."

The Internet may have already begun exploding due to April Fools' Day pranks, but one site's April 1st gesture is decidedly not a joke: the temporary closure of Reddit's "r/games" channel. An 8pm ET post on Sunday confirmed a united front by r/games' moderation team to shed light on the "condescending, dismissive, vindictive and pessimistic attitudes we see in our day-to-day activity." Instead of being able to create new topics or post comments, the community's 1.6 million subscribers will be left reading a locked moderator post that describes an average day's discourse on the site—along with the mod team's hopes for change.

Ellen Pao sounds tired. “I actually haven’t been on Reddit in six months,” she says, a remarkable admission for the company’s former CEO. She says she’s tired; tired of her old colleagues’ decisions on hate speech, tired of similar decisions from other social media giants, and tired of being harassed online. It’s been almost four years since Pao led Reddit. Since then she’s navigated the fallout of an unsuccessful sexual harassment lawsuit she brought that left her ostracized in Silicon Valley circles.

Carl Herold was known to fellow Reddit users as CarlH, a popular poster who helped teach computer skills to others. But to police in Alabama Herold is a man accused of committing unspeakable acts of torture and rape on his own 9-year-old son, including producing photographs and video so disturbing that police had a difficult time even viewing them.

Reddit really needs no introduction at this point. However, if you’ve been living under a rock over the last few years, …

The MPAA has asked Google to remove a Reddit community from its search results over piracy concerns. The movie industry group lists the "FullLengthFilms" subreddit in a recent takedown request, alongside several notorious pirate sites. Thus far Google has refused to take the page down, and Reddit hasn't taken any action either.

Reddit vows to protect user privacy—but not if you're Jennifer Lawrence.

The popular message board Reddit has agreed to a preliminary deal to sell 10pc of the company for US$50m at the same time it locks down attempts to share recent celebrity nude images.

The front page of the internet has a lot more money in the bank, with Reddit confirming $50 million in new funding. More interesting than the amount raised, however, was that investors promised 10 percent of their new equity in the company will be shared with community members, a highly unusual move.

Several weeks ago, I wrote about the birth and subsequent charity efforts of the Fappening, Reddit’s newly created subreddit (which later became multiple subreddits) devoted to housing celebrity nudes. The Fappening subreddits popped up when nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities were leaked on 4chan. They were controversial from the beginning,

Like many terrifying rumors, it started on Reddit. Redditor joes_nipples posted an image Thursday of a Doritos-flavored Mountain Dew tasting table, aptly called Dewritos with the caption, “It actually tasted like Doritos.”

It's one of the most popular podcasts ever, and amateur detectives are trying to get to the bottom of the true-life murder at the heart of it. But how is social media sleuthing influencing the case and the real people caught up in it?

Five subreddits – including r/fatpeoplehate and r/hamplanethatred – removed from social news site as site chiefs say: ‘We’re banning behavior, not ideas’

I know that most of the people on Reddit jumped ship to Voat, but that place caved under pressure almost immediately. Their voting system is also quite questionable, with the requirements to attain a certain amount of votes before you can vote yourself making it easy for some users to have extra power over the others. I'd like to know however, do you feel like this is a suitable replacement? This is merely for conversations' sake. It looks more media / pictures oriented, so it makes me wonde
