Me, I support freedom of speech and decentralization. But one thing strikes me as odd: I keep hearing about this case on HN and other tech news sites, but I have yet to see an article about it on Reddit's own front page. I'm sure I missed discussion when the original article was published, but does Reddit not care about all these followup reports/opinions or is my homepage setting just weird?
Reddit globally banned links to the article, and may subreddits blocked all links to Gawker.
The global ban has been lifted, but many of the moderators of the most popular subreddits consider Violentacrez a mentor/friend, and the individual blocks remain in effect. In the end it doesn't matter because during the crucial window of relevance the article was blocked.
