That second to last paragraph seems fair. Don’t support terrorist organisations or do a hate crime (assuming a fair interpretation of the law) but support the people of Palestine. Reasonable approach.

Someone in the comments mentioned that apparently Reddit will be adding a tip ‘feature’ instead of awards for US users. So I’m happy I decided to quit Reddit.

Oh I also forgot to mention that this might make Reddit more business friendly for community amas. Where without gold downvoted comments won’t appear to casual users. Think that Blizzard comment that has heaps of awards/gold but a record number of downvotes. This could make it easier for Reddit to hide controversial comments or more attractive for companies to engage with Reddit communities if they know their shit corporate pr comments will just hidden by downvotes.

Why is everything to do with this story completely unsurprising.
