That's pretty amazing. Don't even mention what is happening on other subReddits, or they'll shut us down. Well... we'll have a lot more users flocking here, that's for sure!

The sudden uptick in censorship is interesting.

Perhaps they are getting ahead of a planned event.

I've noticed this trend for a while now. Reddit seems hell bent on removing any sort of discussion of other subreddits on site and preventing brigading and drama. Not sure why. I think it's a mix of them losing users and blaming it on trolls, and perhaps they don't want people on reddit to be able to discuss their more controversial subs since those have hit the news before and made reddit look quite bad.
