YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunmanâs parents.
Itâs a fucked up website but if you think itâs remotely as bad as 4chan then Iâve assumed youâve never been to /pol/. Reddit doesnât allow the n word.
Itâs literally rule 1âŚ
Rule 1 Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.
I went on /pol and did Ctrl f + n word, got 7 results. Canât say reddit is even slightly that bad. Iâm sure it still gets said, but itâs very much looked down upon. Where in 4chan itâs just a normal word, and so is the f slur.
