Reddit General Manager Explains Why He Won't Ban Creepy
Reddit's under fire again — this time for a section where users post secretly-taken photos of women . Unless it's illegal, creepy content is the price of an open platform, Reddit GM Erik Martin suggests.
Every three months, or maybe six, it happens: A new section of Reddit gets attention for being gross, immoral, or, most commonly, creepy. Last year it was /r/jailbait, a forum where users posted borderline pornographic photos of teens; a couple months ago it was /r/Photobucketplunder, where users posted private photos from compromised Photobucket accounts. This week, it's /r/creepshots, surreptitiously-taken, implicitly sexual photographs of anonymous women.
Reddit's creepiness problem is part of an ongoing identity crisis on the massive social site, a tension between the emerging voice of a united community, on one hand; and the studied neutrality of a anything-goes online messageboard. Creepy features like creepshots have drawn criticism for years, but they have survived even a recent visit from the President of the United states, who did a Q&A on the site in August. And the man who oversees the site is probably not going to go away.
The site is a neutral platform, first and foremost, Reddit General Manager Erik Martin told BuzzFeed.
"We have 10,000 active subreddits, and over 100,000 total. And anyone can create a subreddit, the person who creates it is sort of the default moderator, and they can add other moderators, who can then add other moderators," Martin said.
This is also true of the site's largest sections, which are featured on its frontpage by default.
"All of them are completely run by users," he repeated.
"We don't get in involved unless it has someting to do with rules," Martin explained. While individual Reddit communities make their own rules — Martin repeated a quote he had given another reporter earlier today, that a forum moderators could ban all posts that start with "g" if they wanted to — Reddit, the platform, has very few. Reddit.com/rules goes a long way toward explaining why Martin finds himself answering questions about offensive, alarming or morally repugnant subreddits on a fairly regular basis. There are just five commandments, and only two relate to content:
Reddit's only rules:
Contrast that with Facebook's content rules:

Why Is This Man Running For President Of The Internet?
Alexis Ohanian started Reddit, the self-proclaimed “front page of the internet.” Then he helped kill SOPA, the bill that threatened to destroy it. Now he's running for President. Of the whole thing.
Illustration by John Gara
It’s an unseasonably cold early October evening in Lincoln, Nebraska, and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian is giving his elevator pitch to a flustered but rapt woman behind the counter of a fast-food joint, Runza, where he’s picking up 45 servings of the eponymous Nebraskan meat and bread dish to bring back to a party at a local sports startup. “Have you heard of Hudl?” he asks, explaining in unbroken paragraphs how the power of the internet is changing high school and college sports. The woman laughs, an is this guy for real? kind of nervous giggle. But he’s dead serious.
It’s the off-the-cuff version of a stump speech I’d seen him give a few hours earlier, to a crowd of about a hundred at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. ("We need to be good stewards of technology.") I’d watched him tell the crowd about Geek Day, a digital march on Washington that he had set into motion the day before, and tout his site's success in fighting the anti-piracy bills SOPA and PIPA — including the $94 million in lobbying, largely from the entertainment industry, that had pushed them to the brink of passing. He also tells a story about a trucker he met in Colorado who didn’t even know he was an “Internet Freedom” supporter until Alexis explained what that meant, and then — from the stage — he calls Nebraska Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, a Republican who supported SOPA, to ask him why (he gets voicemail). He refers to the President of the United States, without hesitation, as POTUS.
Ohanian speaking at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
The whole time, though, he’s subtly code-switching to speak to one of the invisible constituencies he knows is present: Redditors. These, after all, are his people, his true believers. So he references bacon. He uses the word “epic.” He acknowledges memes, like Advice Animals.
When he leaves the stage, he shakes hands and poses for pictures; had a baby been there, he might’ve kissed it. Then he’s off to the next stop, a high school football game, in a tour bus that had at one time been leased by the McCain campaign and converted into the “Straight Talk Express.” Now, it’s been painted over — half red, half blue — and along with Ohanian and a few other Reddit staffers, is also carrying a small press corps (BuzzFeed included), a documentary crew, representatives from farming startup AgLocal, and a staffer at the newly formed Internet Association lobbying group. It is trailed, loudly, by an impressive car-buggy designed by open source automotive startup Local Motors.
If you didn’t know any better, you might think that Alexis Ohanian — the insistently goofy, imposingly tall, never-off 29-year-old cofounder of what is arguably the largest cohesive community on the internet — is running for office. And in fact, he kind of is — but for a position that doesn’t yet exist.
Alexis Ohanian wants to be the President of the Internet. And he’s pretty sure he knows what he needs to do to get there.

Why Did Mitt Romney Pick Paul Ryan, Again?
Medium-sized ideas, and not too much detail, on display in Kentucky.

DANVILLE, Ky. — In the spin room after the vice presidential debate Thursday night, Republican operatives gamely described the face-off as a battle between good ideas and bad ideas; common sense and nonsense; forward-looking solutions and backward-looking defensiveness.
One thing it was not: a defining battle between conservatism and liberalism.
Paul Ryan's addition to the Republican ticket in August was supposed to reshape the presidential race into a sharp clash of ideologies — a battle of ideas that would present the electorate with a clear choice between the free-market ideals Ryan championed in the House, and the Obama administration's government-centered populism.
The Wall Street Journal defined the conservative enthusiasm for the Ryan pick at the time with a glowing editorial:
More than any other politician, the House budget chairman has defined those stakes well as a generational choice about the role of government and whether America will once again become a growth economy or sink into interest-group dominated decline.
But after a short, buzzy week of excitement immediately following his pick, Ryan's reputation as a conservative movement leader was buried under a pile of disciplined talking points and running-mate grunt work. After effectively vanishing from the national stage, Ryan re-emerged Thursday not as the intellectual leader of the right, but as passable debater with a slightly crooked necktie.
The debate that took place — with Vice President Biden repeatedly cutting him off, and Ryan talking around specific questions about the bold budget-cutting plan he introduced in the House — was nothing like the crusading wonk-fest many Republicans expected from him months ago.
Romney campaign policy director Lanhee Chen, for example, praised Ryan's defense of the campaign's Medicare position as "masterful," but rejected the notion that Thursday's debate represented a generation-defining battle of ideas.
Similarly, Ryan's chief spokesman, Michael Steel, demurred when he was asked whether the debate provided a contest between conservatism and liberalism.
"I really think of it as backward-looking versus forward-looking," he offered.
Russ Schriefer, senior Romney campaign strategist, said Ryan didn't distance himself from his conservative principles, but that most voters didn't view the debate as a clash of ideologies.
"I mean, I can see it as that, but I think the viewer at home isn't necessarily looking at it through an ideological prism," he said. "I think they're looking at it as whose ideas make the most sense, and I think that the Romney/Ryan ideas make a lot more sense."
When Social Security came up, Ryan spent much of his time insisting that his plan did not include a "voucher" — he preferred "guaranteed benefit" — and stressing that under his proposals, the program wouldn't change for many years. Rather than fiercely advocate a restructuring of Medicare, he tried to hit the Obama campaign for "taking $716 billion out of Medicare to spend on Obamacare."
And when it came time to talk up his own record in Congress, one of Ryan's chief selling points was that he worked on a plan that was "put together with a prominent Democrat Senator from Oregon."
A wise nod toward independents who like bipartisanship, perhaps — but not exactly the rhetoric of a conservative hero.

Cat And Guinea Pig BFFs
We take a very short break from our continuing hedgehog coverage to bring you this cat and guinea pig who are best friends. They are called Skitty and Bagel, and they love each other very much. (via lovemeow.com )
Despite being from two different species, Skitty and Bagel have similar markings, which makes them natural companions because they match, and can be coordinated with the furniture.
In this photo, they can be seen snuggling, but not, like, making a big deal out of it.
"I just don't see what the problem is," says Skitty. "Some of my best friends are guinea pigs. In fact, my only friend is a guinea pig. I don't really have a frame of reference. Why are we talking about this?"
"My attitude," says Bagel, "is that if something is furry and warm and has similar markings to me, that's good enough for me. After all, I am just a guinea pig. I don't have strong opinions."
