Several new accounts made direct targeted death threats at specific people working alongside Musk to destroy the US government. As this is not legal in the USA where the servers are Reddit axed the subs where this occurred. You can conclude for yourself why new accounts were doing this.
There were some NSFW subs that also got axed. Reddit has done this before and used the sane excuse of it being a bug. Again you can choose to decide if they are being honest about this but keep in mind Spez, the CEO, has repeatedly mentioned how difficult it is to legally manage NSFW material on the site and how investors hate it.
Spez was an advocate and mod for a sub that supported child pedophiles a safe space tp discuss fucking kids. Look it up.
AFAIK This is only technically true, IIRC, back then, mods could add anyone they wanted as a moderator for their subreddit without the user in question having any say in it.
So the jailbait mods thought that it would be funny to add spez to the mod list as a joke
I mean that was one case but what about hiring a known pedofile as a moderator and censoring all posts and comments that tried bringing it to the admins attention. Forgive me I'll have to find her name and source but it was another thing that was mass deleted so ill do it in an edit.
Before that there was the r/fatpeoplehate banning when they started pulling offensive and inappropriate subreddits in multiple seperate waves of bans. This was where the spez is a pedo really picked up steam because every wave of banned subs brought more and more people asking why is subreddit r/dadadadada banned but r/Pedofriends is around to stay active. A subreddit for pedofiles to discuss their pedofilia and I peaked in there one time and holy fuck me sideways, it was a subreddit advocating for pedofiles having the right to fuck kids because they couldn't help that their brain didn't find legal people attractive. That was the darkest corner of the internet instance ever care to see and the moment I think back to anytime I have the slightest urge to check out the darkweb because if that's how dark it got on the surface than fuck finding out how dark the actual depths can be.
