I'm going to take your claims at face value. Let's say this is all 100% correct. Maybe then the prudent action is not to ban a subreddit that is a valid topic, but instead to ban users who have a history of behavior that's not acceptable?
In fact, Reddit does ban users including u/soccer. To conflate r/911truth and r/Holodomor isn't fully honest.
This looks like a joke comment. If you're not going to add anything please comment elsewhere.
It's not a joke sub there are people who legitimately believe this. And the point it's illustrating is that even if it's a "joke" some "jokes" are more well tolerated by Reddit than others. My original point is that there is definitely ideological biases at play in what is/is not bannable on reddit.
No, when I say it’s a joke sub I really mean it’s a joke sub. Just like https://old.reddit.com/r/EmpireDidNothingWrong/. There might be people who actually believe that Stalin was a saint, but they’re not the ones posting memes about it.
I agree; r/Holodomor should not have been banned but should instead have had its moderators replaced.
That Stalin sub's creator and sole moderator is already banned btw, so I'm pretty sure they just missed banning the sub or something. And it hasn't had any activity in 7 months so at least it's not active.
