>Did Reddit’s April Fool’s gag solve the issue of online hate speech?
I certainly hope that doesn't become a widely accepted solution; To me (I didn't participate but have read about the event) it seems like their solution was to
A) marginalize each individual's impact/voice
B) moderate heavily to remove offensive things
This doesn't just remove "hate-speech", this removes anything unpopular.
Their strong point is that they work for less. That's not a virtue.
