/r/fatlogic has not been banned.

We are currently still set to private as the fallout from the shitstorm rages on and we do not want to get caught up in it. We are also waiting to hear back from the admins on a few specifics of their harassment policy. We will reopen as soon as it is prudent to do so.
I am a mod for fatlogic.

REDDIT FUCKED UP

>>197779
Yep. They're tired and they're making mistakes of rage and judgement. More articles are dropping, tag is blowing up, and this shit is just horrifying and amazing to watch unfold in real time.
Imagine you condense the first week of GG into 1 24 hour period.
Boogie's vid has 500k views. IA's vid took a while to go that viral and even had a few weeks of stuff before that.
Reddit right now be all…
Their aRRows will blot out the sun, so we shall lol in the shade.

They banned fatlogic according to the live feed. Holy shit they are pouring gasoline by the liter in that fire.
For anyone that doesn't know fatlogic wen't immediately private to prevent sailing in that shitstorm and was way more focused on myths about being obese than about making fun of individuals.
So they banned a private sub that hasn't harassed anyone and existed long before FPH got banned (so no ban evasion). So much for "we ban behavior, not ideas".

That's what's huge here - see we didn't get that. But Reddit was right on top of this and at least got nearly a fair hearing.
They are using our playbook and it's actually working. Took all our trial and error to make it but this proves our playbook is the dank arts.
Like, we created this style of protest, for better or for worse.

/r/koans said it best

This may seem hard to believe, but when I first discovered reddit (back in 2006 or so) it propagated the classic "hacker culture" What do I mean by this? It encouraged creativity, intelligence, community participation- and above all else- discouraged censorship in any form.
I realize that sounds absolutely insane in the context of the Reddit of 2015, but its true. There was a time (albeit a long time ago) when Reddit understood that the freedom of speech was more important than the feelings of SJW's.
I do not care for the leadership of Ellen Pao. And I don't intend to rant and rave my own personal politics at you; you are all free to agree or disagree with me however you wish. But as for me- I simply refuse to spend any more time building content and traffic for an organization that simply does not share my core values anymore.
Reddit is filled- FILLED- with ridiculous, offense subreddits. This has been true since the moment I first arrived. I could link to the most vile, gross, racist, sexist, violent, mentally unhinged subreddits that exist, but rather than illustrate my point, that would only drive traffic to them, so I won't.
My biggest problem with the new pro-censorship policies of Ellen Pao is that they are inconsistent. I myself am extremely offended both by many of these remaining subreddits, and by the behavior of reddit admins. However, for reasons known only to reddit administration, some offensive subreddits will be banned, and other allowed to thrive.
I know for a fact that some people are offended by /r/koans here. They are offended by my habit, and they are convinced I "don't get it". Others are offended by non-Christian religions altogether. Yet others aren't offended by the koans themselves, but of the general "cultural conquest" as our primarily-white audience assimilates eastern culture. Point being: there is no shortage of potential reasons to be offended.
I believe that when offense occurs, the correct course of action is to either (a) engage in thoughtful debate to establish a better understanding and/or (b) ignore the bullies who are simply trying to get a rise out of you.
Ellen Pao and her staff elect instead for a policy of selective censorship- where some offensive things are removed, and other offensive things (things that personally offend the hell out of me myself) are allowed to fester. I am simply not ok with this. Who has the authority to decide what content has merit and which content does not? And just because I personally dislike or am offended by a subreddit, should I have the right to butt-in and shut it down?
This entire "victim culture" is absolutely poisonous and it does nothing but further victimize those it intends to help.
I am ashamed and embarrassed to have wasted so much of my time on this service. Rather than "offend" anyone further, I will self-censor, and this will be the last you hear from me.
If anyone wishes to take over this subreddit, send me a PM and I will happily hand over the keys.
Good luck to all of you with your additional study.

I want to share some facts, because I like facts, and I believe the truth will set you free. Besides, I've already completely screwed my schedule for the morning, so I may as well keep ranting into the Internet, just in case someone is listening.
FPH did not allow its users to link to other parts of reddit- nearly everything I ever saw submitted was a screenshot. They did not encourage "brigading" or interfering with other subreddits. I never intended to get involved in this debate; I'm not a member of FPH, but as an occasional lurker, I know this to be factually untrue. I don't like being lied to.
FPH posted a public picture of the people being IMGUR in their sidebar. The image was public. No personal details were included in that picture. No "doxxing" took place as far as I can tell. Again, I never intended to get involved in this debate; I'm not a member of FPH, but as an occasional lurker, I know this to be factually untrue. And I really don't like being lied to.
FPH was mean spirited, full of bullies and self-loathing fat people. I know this because I was one of them. I'm still very torn here. I feel guilty for having been motivated by it. Furthermore, it made me aware of things like "HAES" which I simply would never have been exposed to otherwise.

28 PEOPLE WERE SHADOWBANNED FOR THIS:


how can anybody seriously support a CEO that bawwwleets literally anything negative about her, no matter how joking it is?
