I don't think you can run a (successful and mainstream) free speech reddit clone in the EU, it would be a PR and political nightmare.

You couldn't even make a clone of it as it is. It still allows free speech if your sub isn't too popular. The general user base certainly got more intolerant.

Doesn’t need to be a free speech clone, it merely needs to match the EU’s belief system in ways that Reddit doesn’t.

>Unfortunately for them, the rest of the world is coming online and has a different view of things. We’re starting to see this with India and the EU.

Reddit moderation is especially going to clash with many Europeans view on immigration from Islamic countries.

I have no idea what you're implying by that, but do you know what else clashes with "Europeans view on immigration from Islamic countries"?

Views from other Europeans.

We're not an homogenic bunch as you think.

I am not talking about raging far-right people. I meant the swing to the right among the general population and politicians.

I didn't think you were talking about anything specific. Sorry if it came out this way.

My point is that any "Europeans view on immigration from Islamic countries" will clash with the views from other europeans.

Europeans are not single-minded about those issues. Views are probably way more varied than the US. Even an European-ran Reddit would ran into the same issues.

As an American also living in Europe, I think this is a highly naive view. American media pushes American values, and American values are hardly equivalent to technological development itself.

Instead, I’d say we’re at the very beginning of a massive global backlash against American values propagated by technology. Expect it to continually ramp up as media-creation technology spreads. China is just the beginning.

The idea that American views are emebedded and spread in the very technology that America champions is itself the American view that is criticised.

>The technology itself gives rise to it

Do go on.

Sorry, can you clarify what you mean by the west coast American view of the world?
