It's about fucking time. Maybe /r/the_donald and /r/uncensorednews will be next...

Nah, the admins are just gonna sit on their thumbs until they brew up a real nice fart, then sniff for a bit while the nazis run rampant on their site.

I never realized how racist and cancerous r/uncensorednews is. Just looked and they are horrible.

It wasn't always like that.

From what I recall, that sub was created to cover the Pulse night club shooting without having threads deleted. I wonder when it became a racist cesspool because I was subbed to it when it was created, and unshbbed recently because I went to check it out and there there was nothing but racist articles being posted.

For a bunch of logical rational free thinking skeptics, reddit sure does believe anything that’s marketed the right way

Yeah, it’s not about getting better news, it’s about getting the news that your mom doesn’t want you to hear.
