What I am getting at is that your insinuation that atheists spread child porn specifically is pretty baseless. If atheists are just as numerous on Reddit as a proportion of the userbase now as they were in the early days of reddit, and there’s less child porn on there now - then they were obviously not the cause.
Moreover, I would guess that a majority of the Fediverse are atheists.

And I stand corrected on my earlier
According to google /r/jailbait was, by definitin, porn
I do think most people thin of porn d overt sexual content though.
It was definitely easily misread though, I agree with that. Even though you didn’t have to go to /r/all.
He’s referencing /r/jailbait which was super popular on Reddit till they banned it.
I found the existence of the sub fuckjng appalling but it was also arguably a big part of the enshittifstion of Reddit. Like. I hate that it existed but it wasn’t illegal.
It wasnt illegal if people only posted girls over 18 but thats not the case. There were a ton of under 18s being posted. When it was banned the sub pivoted to some like “fashion” sub and continued posting under 18s and 18s for plausible deniability.
The issue is when the entire sub is filled with people who look young enough to be under 18 its very hard for admins to tell when they’re actually under 18. After the ban the fashion sub posted people clearly under 18 and used the excuse that its fine because they’re clothed and they’re just reviewing the fashion.
Atheists are way less likely to create child porn than a catholic priest.
Don’t make me pull out citations and evidence based data in this thread. I’ll do it.
you can pull out all the citations you want but it wont be relevant. Early reddit was rife with cp.
And there’s no reason to assume modern reddit now is somehow less atheistic than early reddit.
I dont care for this point, I never intended to claim that it has less atheists now. I only wanted to describe how reddit started.

yeah i never made that point. I was vaguely mentioning the popular topics on the site at the time.
Okay then, you put ‘atheists’ alongside racists and child pornography which is what would get people’s backs up.
No, I can put atheist alongside racist and cp because the front page was full of atheist posts > Racist posts > CP. No this doesn’t mean all atheists.
I meant “alongside” in terms of “as bad”.
They never made this point.
Your inability to read is showing.
They lumped in atheists with racists and child porn. It was easily misread as at least implying atheists are equivalent morally or as bad.
This is why people are saying you’re implying.

I thought its whole loophole thing was that it was legal which is why something that disgusting wasn’t removed.
I don’t know how they didn’t remove something that was actually illegal from the site earlier. Double gross. Evil. Ew.
I doubly don’t understand why something that was illegal wasn’t removed WAY earlier.

It wasn’t. But it was pretty bad PR for the site.
This is why people as misreading you.
“It wan’t” is not super clear. If you said “it wasn’t popular” people would understand you better.
I’m confused by what you’re even getting at here.
Pretty sure I replied to the wrong comment ahhaha
