Oh you sweet summer child. Reddit has moderation, administration, ...rules? Policies, terms of use?

Reddit is the Disney Channel.

The moderation took way too long but I understand that it could be even worse but the internet is still a fucked up place maybe less than before but still bad

It's not "oops, I accidentally stumbled upon a cache of child porn" fucked, like back in the early days of the WWW.

You'll run into fucked up people; but the content is like Sesame Street levels of fucked by comparison.
