    Its a silly game and one that doesn't need to be played.

    Wat?

    Worst Diogenes ever.

      Diogenes would do it.

      He certainly wouldn't support censorship of any kind.

          You're just mad because you made a fool of yourself.

          Diogenes was a troll.

          "Upon being challenged for masturbating in the marketplace, Diogenes replied, ‘If only it were so easy to soothe hunger by rubbing an empty belly'."

            Well, as they say, it's a free country. If you don't like it, make your own platform... Oh, wait.

            But they have a vicious monopoly stranglehold on the market....

            Free speech and modern reddit have nothing in common.

            What do you expect when China poured money into it? That $150M investment looks to be paying off for the CCP.

            I heard that the 75m was enough for spez's partner to get a ball reduction surgery for his wife.

            Reddit was never about free speech. The TL;DR to Reddit is that it's was an idea spoon-fed to a couple of dude-bros that wanted to get rich in startups. Aaron was brought in through acquisition to work on the site to get it stable enough to sell off. The site was sold to Conde Nast in 2006. Everyone expected Aaron to sell his shares too, especially Conde Nast. But he didn't so Conde Nast made his life hell until he left/fired (details are sparse and murky). Conde Nast built the site into what you knew and loved back then then. The dude-bros that were gone for five years showed back up to 'run' the company and then Conde sold to Tencent.

            Reddit was an attempt to get rich. It worked for Steve, Alex, and Paul. It becoming an interesting place on the internet for a short time was a side effect/accident.

            and then Conde sold to Tencent.

            Not sold. Tencent has a 5% interest. Let's be perfectly clear here. It's not about China. It was never about China. Reddit is still by and large owned by Jewish billionaire Donald Newhouse (owner of Conde Nast and Advance Publications).

            Erase Reddit, cancel all accounts and shame/redpill those that still use the site.

            Reddit should be nuked for it's connection to China.

            I'm not sure why they hate him so much. He was a founder and he was jewish, you'd think there would be full support. Sure there are conspiracy theories, they could delete those, but why are they going so far as to erase his memory? Doesn't that kind of prove the conspiracy theory that he was murdered true? It's not like the media tries to erase the memory of JFK and MLK, altho maybe that is next.

            They hate him, because he speaks 'the truth', and he fought for FREEDOM of information, the current speznazis are working very hard to HIDE information and knowledge, information about the new flu was censored across the site, and anyone asking questions about trans and the harm it does is banned or censored.

            [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

            that makes more sense

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

            I personally think they are trying to galvanize everybody into different ways of "rebellious" thinking. They want us to be reactionary and upset at the powers, so they can offer up a "solution"

            reason #1) most people like to think that their religion is perfect. nobody in my religion would commit suicide. erase him. he is a black mark on our fine religion.

            reason #2) people that commit suicide get erased.

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

            really so it is evidence of the cover story and he really did commit suicide? interesting shill.

            The Cultural Marxists of the Democratic Party and their Chinese Communist backers will erase us all if they get their way

            You would think they would like the guy that advocated for open access of research literature. But now here he is on our s/pics so that's cool at least!

            He has a pretty good trollface.
