"Criticism of Reddit" as new article

This has likely been brought up in the past but "criticism of Reddit" could be its own article. It is different to Controversial Reddit communities as it more specifically concerns criticism of Reddit's management, of which there have been a LOT of incidents. I have done some restructuring on the Controversies section but wanted to start a dialogue. StewdioMACK (talk) 09:51, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

I agree. To add to this dialogue, Reddit moderators censoring anything they don't like and having no accountability is worth mentioning--I just don't know where I would put it. Lovelaces17 (talk) 22:06, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Conservapedia. You put it on Conservapedia. Or complain about it on X. Wikipedia goes by reliable sources and much of the criticism of reddit that is covered by reliable sources all speak of insufficient moderation, and the allowing of the existance of far-right troll farms on their site. 46.97.170.199 (talk) 08:58, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Arbitrary censorship with no accountability does not mean that the censored material is for conservapedia. You assuming it as much to then say "complain about it on X" shows that you're acting in bad faith.

Often, the line in which comments that violate subreddit rules and comments with valid criticism are blurred, resulting in the censorship of minority opinions.¹ Furthermore, while the level of perceived censorship can seem overblown, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University found that "users holding minority views are more likely to be moderated, even after accounting for levels of potential offensive behaviors across groups".² This type of over-correction, in turn, can often undermine the diversity of opinions needed for social movements to evolve and push forward, impeding its progress.³

Criticisms of Reddit's moderators are warranted and have been discussed in numerous researched studies. Your response by disregarding the critiques as "conservapedia" material while assuming that "much of the [reliable] criticism of [R]eddit...all speak of insufficient moderation [that allows for] far-right troll farms" is, in the most charitable light, willfully ignorant. I hope for further discussion with this topic by those that are less inclined towards their own predilection.

Rules

Although the "rules" are mentioned throughout, there's little discussion of the nature of some of the site's more contentious rules. For example, the rule that new posts are automatically removed because they have "zero karma" or fall below some arbitrarily assigned level of "karma," which "karma" is only to be gained by posting at subreddits which in turn may or may not allow it, has been ridiculed by many commenters on reddit itself. 70.69.20.216 (talk) 05:11, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

change "The platform intends to sell 22 million class A common shares" to "The platform intended to sell 22 million class A common shares", as this event has already occurred and should be in past tense. DZ24 (talk) 19:26, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

First sentence

"proprietary" and "aggregation" is almost all social media, especially the forum type, same with "content rating", especially when there is just upvote and downvote, I don't think it is necessary to include all these word as if you're seo farming or listing investor buzzwords. Perhaps find a source that sort of "explain the internet like I'm a boomer" instead of randomly picking words to describe the site? 103.66.132.62 (talk) 01:15, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Even if you don't change the wording, please fix the MOS:SEAOFBLUE. 103.66.132.62 (talk) 01:19, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
