No, it was exactly 5.4 years ago when she started pulling this shit, telling all of reddit how they needed to act, and they needed to watch what they say. bans started happening for offensiveness, not for illegality. Jan/Feb of 2015. Then she banned Coontown and fatpeoplehate around June of that year. When all the gamergate bullshit was happening.
I came over when Pao started taking gamergate sides and posted the initial "censorship" rules, where you will be banned for wrongthink on gamergate. Picking the side of Not the woman was to be considered 'Hate Speech' and you would be banned.
Then she banned Coontown and fatpeoplehate around June of that year
I didn't remember that part, I thought coontown was banned months or a year before that.
Anyways it's funny how back in the day there had only ever been a single subreddit banned from reddit and that was the pedophilic one. Now we're probably in the thousands.
I get Coontown and r/niggers mixed up. I may have reversed those two.
But yeah, it was a nice run, but it really wasn;t worth ever talking to anyone there, because there were so many users, you couldn't actually have a conversation, it was simply "hallway sex" communication.

The Fattening is what brought me to Voat. I've started over two or three times here. I came for FPH, but stayed for Heil Hitler.

They just banned over 2000 subreddits at once in the latest purge last week.
