I unsubscribed from the Washington Post due to their biased coverage of what has happened on reddit recently as well as a general concern that a press outlet seems to favor (politically inspired) censorship over free speech.
I hate coontown as much as the people crying for its ban, but I stand with Christopher Hitchens on why even the most despicable ideas need to be discussed in open forums.
They send you a question in return, with a multiple choice question as to why you will not pay them anymore, and there is an option for "editorial decisions".
And they're still shadowbanning people. I was shadowbanned for about 20 days until someone pointed it out to me. I was told it was for following someone and downvoting a bunch of their posts. I know I did no such thing.
Everybody that uses apple products uses Bing. By which I mean it is the default. And ofcourse, you can change default settings.
EDIT: Downvoted for stating a fact? LOL. Links added. Read your heart out.

Has been for a while now. Also bing powers apple search.

This article, titled "CEOS Aren't as Powerful as Most People Think," would be really helpful to people involved in this cause.
Ohanian's duties as a board member are "marketing, communications, strategy, and community." and while he does get downvoted, nobody but Pao gets on the front-page with a Hitler mustache.
It really feels like when people blame (or praise) the president for the economy. Despite all the tasteless Hitler comparisons, Reddit (like modern governments and nearly all corporations) isn't a dictatorship. So, the cause would have a lot more legitimacy if people showed that they were aware of this.
Good idea for the wrong reason imo.
Helping Voat is a good thing but my opinion is it should be done to have a real alternative, NOT to "threaten" anyone here.
The fact that they can't cope with the load and that they jumped up more than 40K+ positions on Alexa ranking mean that those who are serious about leaving are doing it already.
Is the author alleging that news subreddit mods are government agents or something? Also, I found the article in question, and it's two years old. I think "news" that is two years old technically isn't news anymore, and therefore would be in violation of the subreddit's first rule: "Your post will likely be removed if it is not news."
EDIT: Oh, OPs article is also two years old. Why was this even posted?
Infogroup, Acxiom, Localeze, and Factual are the major four data sources used in the US and Google, Bing and Yahoo! use them. For an interesting overview, check out: https://moz.com/learn/local/local-search-data-us
Voat has a couple of excellent Android apps at least.
Check out either Boats for Voat or Versa on Google Play. Both work quite well.
Don't have the pro version so I can't see numbers, but this graph seems to indicate a decline in traffic lately. Although it has risen since last October at least.
