'''Reddit''' is a [[social media]] website. Their users submit content and vote submissions "up" or "down" to determine their position on the pages of the site. These votes give a user 'Karma', one for links and one for comments. The best content would reach the front page, hence the slogan "the front page of the internet." Reddit was a defining representation of democratization of culture and promoting the free flow of knowledge across the net. As the site grew and new CEOs took over, free speech became a casualty. Content and groups have been deleted by corporate management, this has generated a loud backlash.

The [[Chinese]] company Tencent has a 10% stake in the company, and this results in anything mentioning the [[Tiananmen Square massacre]] or rightfully blaming China for [[COVID-19]] being banned, and allows racist subreddits such as r/Sino to thrive.

 

Unlike other social media sites, the user page consists largely of previous posts and comments, no detailed user information, no avatar, no real names requirement, no friends list, no bio.
