Reddit slowly became filled with hate

I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do...

Zyansheep,

Its either the fascists, or people trying to make money from tribalism.

[AMA] Hi, I’m /u/spez, CEO of Reddit, coming to you to talk about my recent acquisition of Lemmy and some upcoming changes. Ask me anything!

Thanks for joining me today! I’m here at the Reddit corporate parking lot, spot 269 (nice!), and being assisted today by Victoria all by myself because friends only tie down your ambitions....

Zyansheep,

“Thank you for the lemmings kind stranger!”

Zyansheep,

I’m not sure about discrimination against customers based on ideology, but I’m pretty sure you can’t discriminate against customers based on protected class (sex, race, orientation, etc.) What this supreme court case does (IIUC) is that companies are now allowed to not provide services to protected classes if those services constitute speech. So if you are a restaurant owner, or a hotel, you still can’t refuse a gay couple, if you are a cake designer, you can’t refuse to make a cake, but you can refuse to do anything remotely gay-related to that cake, if you are a web designer, you can refuse to make something altogether because the government can’t restrict or compel speech (and graphic design is speech).

Zyansheep,

People can do that now, but only for occupations that qualify as “speech”. Owners of “public businesses” (i.e. places that you can walk in to) still aren’t allowed to forbid entry to people arbitrarily.

Zyansheep,

I think that was the majority opinion’s goal, they think the line between what is speech and what isn’t should be spelled out more minutely with more legal precedent rather than what we had before where all speech in relation to selling a service was regulated under anti-discrimination statutes.

Zyansheep,

Who they gonna replace them with? Paid employees? That’d go against their whole business model! XD

Zyansheep,

Dang, this is hilarious! Bureucratic mistakes at their most helpful :D
