'Post Your Racist Opinions Here' Thread Nearly Shuts Down Reddit
Max Read · 09/26/11 06:24PMUh-oh—massively popular link-sharing site Reddit was "basically" taken down this afternoon, according to a mod. The culprit? A thread encouraging Redditors to post the "extremely controversial things" that they "honestly believe." Yep: Redditors got so excited about a safe space for their racism and misogyny that they almost shut down the site.
