Too little, too late?
Reddit recently announced the success of a new content policyit unveiled in June.
The company is celebrating an 18 percent drop in hateful content since the policy rework.
However, while Reddit rejoices, users are still experiencing a special kind of abuse on the platform.
Trolling Continues
Moderators from other communities echo similar feelings.

It’s where drive-by comment trolls go to fish for targets, wrote moderator u/VladislavThePoker.
And it happens every time we hit r/all.
We’ve been called every name in the book, threatened, and doxxed.
This speaks to the larger issue of Reddits previously hands-off approach to policy moderation.
