But Huffman, who cofounded Reddit back in 2005, also boasted that Reddit is different because it is “free from the airbrushing and filters of social media” and criticized what he sees as over-the-top meddling in online discussion.

yeeesh

if I ever do this I hope I get iced on the spot as it means that there's a level of integrity that can be verified across all federated instances

Maybe Huffman was getting nostalgic and started reminiscing about his jailbait subreddit, that was online for so many years on his beloved Reddit.

I hate him so much.

World news is a shower of shit.

Before I quit, it was a pretty open secret that r/worldnews was a shithole, and the place to get news was r/anime_titties

I don't know if they've gone under too by now, though

But what r/worldnews lacked in credible news, it made up for in anime tiddies
