I've notified the sub and left a recommendation to join kbin or lemmy. Curious to see if they also ban me from reddit over this, not that I planned on posting there again.

We trust them to maintain a non-evil platform

Reddit took money from Peter Thiel. That ship sailed a long, long time ago.

Perhaps. They also took money from the Chinese. Of course it's totally coincidental how anti-China articles sometimes seem to disappear for no apparent reason...

Just to be pedantic about it, because someone'll bring it up eventually: They took money from Tencent -- and a lot of it -- which, indeed, had close ties to the Chinese government (and now it sounds like the government owns a significant share of the company, but it didn't at the time of investment). Tencent absolutely looks out for things that could negatively affect its relationship with the government of China.

I don't mean to overlook the role Tencent has in enabling an authoritarian regime and papering over their authoritarian acts.

But they took white supremacist and actual fascist Peter Thiel's money like 5 years before they took Tencent's.
