I'd also say this - making moral judgements about humor content, and then attempting to suppress it for violations of your code is exactly what Reddit does. See the migration of s/TumblrInAction. Frankly this seems awfully hypocritical of a judgement for someone who claims to support free speech and internet. Have you ever seen South Park or Dave Chappelle, the best comedy always offends someone

There’s so many people begging to censor said it.

It’s so hard to believe this is a refuge from Reddit.

There’s a block button. Instead of been by a whiny bitch, they can just use the block button.

Yeah, but a block is a quiet thing. A big-ass protest post gets attention, and that's the goal.

We can't down vote it off the front page.

If we block him, he will continue to destroy the front page whether we can see it or not. Degrading the site as a whole.

Is it censorship to insist someone posts adult content to appropriate subs?

u/HongKongPhooey simply has no self control, and sees no reason to use any judgment or discretion what so ever.

Yes it is.

And is it bad?

[–]hfxB0oyA 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun -  (6 children)

In my opinion, yes. If people want to filter content to "appropriate" subs, there's Reddit. The price of our chaotic freedom is eternal vigilance from becoming a buttoned-down site like Reddit, ever tightening the definition of what's appropriate until all expression is strangled.

Any place with unrestricted free speech is a place that is quickly being subverted by enemy agents. UNLESS the participants are extremely educated on the ills of subversion.

Well then, I guess the onus is upon each of us to educate ourselves.

[–]Alphix 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, but how thoroughly can you count on >95% of the userbase of any site to fully educate themselves on this topic?

[–]Musky 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Well said.

Okay, but unless there's some secret "Content that I don't want to see" sub that he should be using to avoid offending your (in the general sense, not you specifically) sensibilities, then as far as I can tell, he is posting his stuff to the appropriate subs. And unless he further has a serious level of behind-the-curtain site access, his stuff showing up on the front page is no doing of his.

[–]Questionable 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (5 children)

He doesn't need to post shit here at all. Does he NEED up votes for some reason? You want to read the dailymail? It's a major site. Just bookmark it, go there and rub the feces in your eye sockets.

[–]hfxB0oyA 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (4 children)

The block button exists, dude.

[–]Questionable 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Yes, it exists. And so does 4chan. I go there for shitty content, and not here. And I don't want this site to become 4chan. So if I use the block button, he will continue to bring down the quality of this site. Only it will be happening out of site, and out of mind.

You are literally exalting the virtues of ignorance, dud.

[–]hfxB0oyA 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Well, my suggestion is to drown him out by presenting better options.

[–]Alphix 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

The guy posts some worthwhile thigns, though.

True enough. As the saying goes, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince. ;)
