Pretty sure it's their way of trying to damage control the increasing toxicity on the site. If you frequent other socials you could tell Reddit in general was starting to get a bad rep.

Quarantine has been around since forever, most subs that have videos of people dying or REALLY NSFW gore shit are quarantined so they don't reach /r/all
[deleted] 30 points · Sep 2018
/r/anime quarantines itself for 4 years.
Let that sink in.
Oniichanplsstop 46 points · Sep 2018
Yeah because they hit the top of r/all with the "top bathtub scenes of 2014"

Watchpeopledie is literally always on r/all tho wat?
Ricardo1701 51 points · Sep 2018
got quarantined today apparently
[deleted] 34 points · Sep 2018
good. I never understood why that was allowed on r/all.
[deleted] 36 points · Sep 2018
I understand removing ads and not putting quarantined subreddits on /r/all and popular, but I can't even search for those subreddits on the app anymore? That means I'll have to either sub to every single one of them or use google search each time? That's bullshit imo. I wish I could at least unhide the quarantined subreddits, or they could have them show up if you type in the entire name (no accidental suggestions).
Edit: notifications from comment replies in quarantined subs is broken for me too, unless it's a coincidence, I have a red "1" badge on notifications that wont go away from a reply on ice's reddit. I also cant see my comment history for comments posted on quarantined sub. Legit aids in terms of user experience imo

Have you tried going into settings and enabling the "I'm older than 18" or whatever it is setting? I dont know what you mean by NSFW but I can search and find subreddits such as gonewild and fiftyfifty in the mobile app. I'm assuming they're NSFW subs. Also r NSFW and nsfw gifs show up for me

Yes what I said is that I cant search for any other quarantined sub on my phone unless I'm subscribed to it. Atm there's no way I can open ice's sub on the app until I open my browser and subscribe to his reddit again. There is also no way I can browse any quarantined sub unless I do the same

Reddit is just trying to ban wrong-think. Reddit believes in separate but unequal communities as a means to achieve diversity and equality.

Imagine believing some dumb shit like this.

Which one of your subs got quarantined :)

Uh oh a private website is trying to protect its ability to earn money. Guess this is Gestapo Germany x 1984 boys.
Go complain about SJWs and women somewhere else.

How does this counter my argument?
Also people are welcome to criticize reddit for doing this all they want. But don't act like its some sort of tyrannical suppression of free speech. Reddit is a private entity which exists to earn money. They are making decisions based on increasing revenue, not because they are trying to "ban wrong-think" or create "separate but unequal communities as a means to achieve diversity and equality." People are trying to extrapolate what was a monetary decision into some culture war against the SJW's they seem to think they are fighting. Retarded
Again criticize the decision as much as you want. You can even stop using reddit altogether if it upsets you enough. I'm sure reddit was aware they were going to be criticized for this move (and alienate some of their user base), but they decided it was worth it for them.

So you would be okay with a private website banning Jews if it protected its ability to earn money?
[deleted] 1 points · Sep 2018
Not if that website operated in the United States. And that's because religious groups are a protected class in the United States
Are Ice Poseidon fans a legally protected class?

i wouldn't say sick. it's more morbid curiosity tbh. while there are a lot of edgelords who think they're funny there, there are quite a few people who remain respectful too; especially in the cases of deaths by unfortunate disasters or terrorist attacks.

Laughing and engaging with horrible things is a much healthier attitude than banning it and trying to hide it in the dark while you pretend it doesn't exist.

Old banned version of watchpeopledie
heelydon 41 points · Sep 2018
Reddit is just another social field where people disagree on things and that has never looked pretty. For people to dress it up as some sort of new or controversial thing is ridiculous.
The only problem Reddit has ever reinforced is the hardening of the echochambers and now that issue will only further be fortified.
DARTHPLAYA -1 points · Sep 2018
That's the thing though, I don't care that those echo chambers exist. If I don't see them on r/all as far as I'm concerned, they don't exist.
heelydon 25 points · Sep 2018
It isn't about you caring that they exist, as much as you, being a rational human being, understanding that they breed an extremely polarized worldview from whichever side it comes.
This is perfectly showcased by how modern online discourse is handled, especially on reddit.
In that sense, reddits new way of handling these situations, will only further dig these holes that people sit in and reinforce their hold on people.
That seems like a strangely detached approach to life around you? Do you actively choose to not be critical of how things develop or question why and how things are going?
DARTHPLAYA 1 points · Sep 2018
Really impressive that you way able to deduct the process by which I make decisions in real life off of that one Reddit comment... Even if I am detached from what may seem like reality to you, I literally could not give two shits about what someone who I will never know or never interact with in any way shape or form decides to type on their keyboard. I really don't have that kind of time on my hands, simple as that.
heelydon 12 points · Sep 2018
If you look at the phrasing, those are questions, not confirmations or judgment.
Then participating in this discussion on this topic, in this very comment section seems extremely at odds with your general perspective on these situations.
DARTHPLAYA -4 points · Sep 2018
Yep, this conversation is meaningless. After this I'm going to log off my computer, go to sleep and wake up tomorrow morning and nothing that is said here will affect how I spend my day tomorrow. Doesn't mean I'm not going to get my point across.
It would even be more meaningless if I never knew this subreddit existed.
SarcasticCarebear 12 points · Sep 2018
Your comment is actually stupid and shows stunning ignorance.
"You don't care that echo chambers exist if you don't see them on all."
You realize they have just hidden echo chambers they don't agree with and pushed the echo chambers that further the accepted agenda forward right? You are still only seeing echo chambers. Just the ones they want you to see. Thats EXACTLY how propaganda works. Reddit is being run like the Chinese govt runs the internet.
DARTHPLAYA 5 points · Sep 2018
Haha you're right, I guess if I had to chose between seeing frequent posts from r/cringeanarchy or from the absolutely disgusting echo chamber that is r/aww on the front page I should be choosing the former because of the fact that it's opinions aren't widely accepted xD
SarcasticCarebear 9 points · Sep 2018
You joke but aww can be really awful. They constantly fall for animals being abused to make a "cute" video for youtube.
coin69 10 points · Sep 2018
lmao are u kidding me, its been bad since forever, are people pretending twitter/facebook/instagram is NOT toxic shit hahahha.
DARTHPLAYA 0 points · Sep 2018
I'm curious as to why you would think those sites are less friendlier than Reddit which uses a voting system and where pretty much everyone is anonymous.
WhatsupDoc001 23 points · Sep 2018
It's just trash criticizing other trash. As if the reddit-approved subs or other social media aren't full of toxic morons whining about everything and being assholes 24/7.
edit: lol from +9 to -1 in a few mins. I wonder where retards are brigading from this time.

WhatsupDoc001 10 points · Sep 2018
I just visited Cringeanarchy to witness these "Nazis talking about what they want to do to Jews" and all I found was a bunch of 12 year old edgelords making juvenile jokes (so business as usual). Is this one of those things social media idiots are doing where you pretend to be dumb by taking jokes seriously to demonize people they don't like while using anecdotal evidence and a few examples to paint entire communities with a broad brush?
r/Fullcommunism btw, another sub that got quarantined isn't any more deranged than r/politics for example, both subs are full of delusional bitter assholes like most political subreddits from far-left to far-right, the only difference is that r/politics has an approved by the reddit administration political opinion.

It's the social media effect where the average moron lives in bubbles so dumb ideas are allowed to fester and grow uncontrollably while the people in these bubbles have the sensitivities of a rich princess when it comes to opposing views because they're not used to them anymore.
Social media including reddit are fucking cancer, you can use them correctly but you'd pretty much have to bypass all the "features" their creators have put in place to keep you in your bubble while opposing the majority of their braindead subscribers that have been brainwashed by them. What's even worse is that this trash have monopolized the internet and killed most forums that used to have pretty fucking awesome communities during the late 90's and early 00's. Being a 30+ old fart I miss the old non-shitty internet so. fucking. much. I kinda feel sorry for anyone who didn't experience it.
mtg_liebestod 6 points · Sep 2018
Nah, it's more one of those things the social media idiots do where they just sample the worst examples of speech/expression on a forum they dislike and argue that that should be used to ban the entire platform.
shaggy1265 1 points · Sep 2018
No, this is one of those things where you pretend something doesn't happen just because you didn't see evidence of it on today's front page of the subreddit. It's funny that you accuse him of "playing dumb" while you sit there and play dumb yourself.
WhatsupDoc001 3 points · Sep 2018
Um, that's the fucking point, I didn't see it in the front page therefore it's not as frequent as he implies. A few bad examples doesn't mean the entire community is like that but I guess authoritarians are gonna authoritarian and use the worst possible examples they can find to paint with a broad brush and ask for censorship.

If you were raised in an environment that taught you you shouldn't have repercussions for what you say, then all I can do is feel sorry for you.

DARTHPLAYA 1 points · Sep 2018
I used to think like this so I'm hoping I can change your mindset.
Everyone has unique experiences... Telling people when/how to react to being insulted based on your unique experiences doesn't really work. This is something that you eventually come to realize especially if you've had it as rough as your making it sound. It seems that you have accepted the fact that toxicity (specifically online toxicity) is a bad thing, but suddenly you have a problem with people trying to minimize it.

DARTHPLAYA 3 points · Sep 2018
No... That's Reddit taking their platform away from people who used it to abuse the terms of service they agreed to when they signed up in the first place, there is no conspiracy here, there is no unfair censorship taking place here, this is simply bad people being punished for doing bad things and I'm sorry you've become too desensitised to see this. Personal experiences do not even come into play here because Reddit has a right to decide what their site is used for.
You've contradicted yourself here. If what is and isn't offensive content is subjective then so is what is and isn't hurtful content. You've accepted the fact that what is/isn't damaging varies between people yet somehow come to the conclusion that online harassment "does no damage".
