There is a huge difference between hate speech and calling out Reddit's most prolific moderators for going on a power trip, especially when a lot of the bans posted on SRC were honestly unjustified.
Because it's a tactic commonly used by law enforcement and something AHS are commonly accused of. They're also in cahoots with the admins, and a lot of people distrust the site's admins.
It definitely started with them, and it's unfortunately also the same tactics that right-wing subreddits like /r/conservative and /r/the_donald adopted. Critical thinking is anathema in modern Reddit.
I dunno, I'd consider Yishan far more trustworthy than Spez or kn0thing. The former is looking to monetize the fuck out of Reddit while Alexis is a man of no principles who obviously left his position because his wife finally put her foot down and told him to stop giving hate speech a platform.
Nothing to do with AHS, but definitely everything to do with /r/ShitRedditSays.
