You Can’t Stay Here: The Efficacy of Reddit’s 2015 Ban Examined Through Hate Speech

User-level Effects of the Ban

Following Reddit’s 2015 ban, a large, significant percentage of treatment users from banned communities left Reddit (as compared to a cohort of control users). For the banned community users that remained active, the ban drastically reduced the amount of hate speech they used across Reddit by a large and significant amount.

Following the ban, Reddit saw a decrease of over 80% in the usage of hate words by r/fatpeoplehate and r/CoonTown users (relative to their control groups).

Community-level Effects of the Ban

Following the banning of r/fatpeoplehate and r/CoonTown, the affected users migrated to other parts of Reddit. The majority .... migrated to qualitatively different subreddits...

In simpler terms, the migrants did not bring hate speech with them to their new communities, nor did the longtime residents pick it up from them. Reddit did not “spread the infection”.
