It really varies. Some subreddits are VERY heavily moderated, some are completely open, most are somewhere in between. Your experience of reddit is probably quite personal and likely to be different from any other user. It's a big space. That's kinda off-topic, but it's relevant in the bigger picture, I think. It's been very interesting, over the last couple of decades, to observe the changing attitudes to censorship and control in online communities. For me it started in the days of BBS and Usenet, and thereafter different communities evolved in very different ways. Community norms in areas like community policing, netiquette, topic enforcement, language, personal privacy...all became very different, and vastly more varied. And, of course, we have rather different attitudes from law enforcement/intelligence to those communities and their platforms, and very different commercial ideas too. I find tracking that historical change to be useful because it reminds me that our expectations in the future will be different too. Our notions of privacy and security, for example, are far from static; we can't take a snapshot of the market today and assume it's either inherently "correct" (for some definition), nor unchanging. In context, I'm interested in how that affects the evolution of communities/services like Tor. -J -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
