Reddit communities exhibit the echo chamber effect, in which repeated unsourced statements come to be accepted among the community as fact, leading to distorted worldviews among users. It has been suggested that those who use Reddit should exercise caution in taking user-created unsourced content as fact. Misinformationĭue to Reddit's decentralized moderation, user anonymity, and lack of fact-checking systems, the platform is highly prone to spreading misinformation and disinformation. Since 2018, subreddits are allowed to appeal their quarantine. In addition, quarantined subreddits do not appear in non-subscription based (aggregate) feeds such as r/all in order to prevent accidental viewing, do not generate revenue, and their user count is not visible. Visiting or joining a quarantined subreddit requires bypassing a warning prompt. In 2015, Reddit introduced a quarantine policy to make visiting certain subreddits more difficult. Adrian Chen wrote a Gawker exposé of one of the subreddit's moderators and identified the person behind the account, starting discussion in the media about the ethics of anonymity and outing on the Internet. In 2012, the subreddit r/Creepshots received major backlash due to being a subreddit for sharing suggestive or revealing photos of women taken without their awareness or consent. After commenters were seen asking for nude photos of underage girls, and under significant external scrutiny, Reddit shut down r/jailbait. Reddit rose to infamy in October 2011, when a report by CNN showed that Reddit was harboring the r/jailbait community, which was devoted to sharing suggestive or revealing photos of underage girls. In 2008, subreddit creation was opened to all users. Subreddits were created later, but could only initially be created by Reddit administrators. When Reddit was founded in 2005, there was only one shared space for all links, and subreddits did not exist. Controversial Reddit communities sometimes receive significant media coverage. Since then, Ice Spice has teamed up with Taylor Swift - whom Healy is rumored to be dating - for a blockbuster remix of the pop star’s Midnights track “Karma.” When announcing the remix, the pop superstar said of the rising star, “I’m a massive fan of this brilliant artist and after getting to know her I can confirm: she is THE ONE to watch.” The two have since released a joint music video for the project, and the “Munch” artist also joined Swift onstage for three nights in a row at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., to debut the remix live at the Eras Tour.List of known controversial communities on RedditĬontroversial Reddit communities are communities on the social news site Reddit (known as "subreddits"), often devoted to explicit, violent, or hateful material, that have been the topic of controversy. I don’t want it to be misconstrued as mean.” It’s because I don’t want Ice Spice to think I’m a d–k. It’s not because I’m annoyed that me joking got misconstrued. “I just feel a bit bad, and I’m kind of a bit sorry if I’ve offended you,” he said onstage.
Healy later half-apologized for laughing at and engaging with the hosts’ remarks during a 1975 concert in Auckland, New Zealand. The podcast episode has since been removed from Apple and Spotify. After bringing up that Ice Spice had once said she was a big fan of the band, the show’s hosts proceeded to make jokes about the “Princess Diana” rapper sounding like an “Inuit Spice Girl” and a “chubby Chinese lady.” They went on to mockingly imitate Chinese and Hawaiian accents, and joked about what Healy should say when sliding into Ice Spice’s DMs. The controversy in question went down in February when Healy went on The Adam Friedland Show to promote The 1975’s latest album, Being Funny In a Foreign Language.
