    As far as I remember the “kill all slave owners” post was simply a way to trigger reddit itself and see how they would react to such a statement. Like, “we don’t care reddit, let’s see how you react to this”. Most of the sub agreed on the fact that with posts like that, it was a matter of time for reddit to take action. Though it looks like nobody actually cared. Honestly, I browsed the sub daily and didn’t see any kind of post that was this controversial. Though the “kill all slave owners” became a meme in the sub and people started to use it ironically, and other similar jokes started to pop out

        You could never tell whether the cth hive-mind was promoting something in a serious way or just out of edginess, that was one of the funny aspects of the sub. I wasn’t participating enough in the conversation to be able to catch every inside joke of theirs, so I really don’t know how to look at it. Definitely some of the subscribers are probably serious when talking about killing slave owners though
