editI think this subreddit is controversial Ambndms (talk) 00:42, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Ambndms: Are there reliable sources that verify this though? - Aoidh (talk) 01:01, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Aoidh I can't find any non-reddit sources to support this yet. The subreddit itself is self-explanatorily controversial (though I know this doesn't help my case). I'll keep this on my radar in case something manifests. Thank you!

- Wasn't able to find a single source for this. I feel there are many more subreddits that are controversial that cant and won't be added because a news site did not mention them Lil Sad Lil Happy (talk) 04:19, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Controversial Reddit communities
editI check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Controversial Reddit communities's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

- From Snark subreddits: Lorenz, Taylor (December 1, 2023). "News outlets turn to Reddit as Musk's X descends into chaos". The Washington Post. Retrieved May 9, 2024.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 12:48, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

There should be a section for major subreddits cosplaying as normative while spewing Nazi Muslim Palestinian propaganda. The fact that reddit doesn't take care of them nor ban clearly racist and antisemite users speaks volume of what entities are currently controlling the reddit moderation. 174.91.170.198 (talk) 20:07, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

"Critics argue"
edit| | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Taken from the (currently) 4th paragraph: "Critics argue that while concerned Redditors and moderators often report these subs, they often remain open until a specific incident, or the actions of an individual, forces them to come under more intense scrutiny and requires administrators to decide between allowing distasteful content or suppressing dangerous or destructive communities."
How come this article mentions "critics" who think subs they don't like can't be banned fast enough - without even providing a single source for those "critics" in the entire paragraph - while completely ignoring the vast amounts of other "critics" who criticize the censorship? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.108.55.24 (talk) 18:59, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
Not done This is a general complaint, not a specific request. If you are interested in adding information about "criticism of censorship", then you need to find reliable, independent sources that document and explain it. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 03:07, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
Should several subreddits dedicated to pooping and farting (such as r/ratemypoo and r/cutegirlspooping) be added?
editThey probably fall under NSFW content and should’ve been disallowed the same way r/WatchPeopleDie was banned 174.114.206.3 (talk) 15:25, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
