I think the site's owners are getting ready to sell, much in the same way one readies a house before posting it on the market. This involves tossing out the rubbish, and cleaning everything before the Open House. Look at what happened with moot, 4chan and Gamergate. Moot sold off the site to another party, and now no longer runs it. But, to do that, he and the mods had to do some housecleaning.

They're getting ready to sell Reddit. Much in the same way one cleans a house before putting it on the market, Reddit is trying to tidy up their website before offering it up for sale.

Well,they should just close Reddit to the public and turn it into a website for Reddit employees.

But why should games exist solely to push a narrative? Why can't they just be fun?

Inherent in the Freedom of Speech is the Freedom to speak badly. If you are free to only say good things, you are not free.

And I couldn't be happier about it. They are standing up and telling Reddit Administration they reject their authoritarianism. The admins just keep crying the eternal cry of the oppressor, "It's for your own good." But no, Pao. I'm more qualified to know what's best for me, and as a well-adjusted adult, I do not need a nanny.
