Seems fairly newsworthy.

Rest of the news behind the link.
Good news in my eyes, at least. Although it's not really clear just how far reaching this new policy is, and what type of reddits end up being banned. Seems likely that these reddits end up moving to places like Voat.
Lock if old.

Reddit is purging Nazi, white supremacist, and other hate-based groups from its site as part of a new policy change announced Wednesday that targets and bans certain violent material.
The popular discussion site, which has struggled with how to monitor and remove vitriolic and offensive content in the past,said in a statement that it had decided to retool certain rules and regulations that were "too vague" and ban material that "encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual or a group of people."
"We did this to alleviate user and moderator confusion about allowable content on the site. We also are making this update so that Reddit's content policy better reflects our values as a company," Reddit told its nearly 542 million monthly users. "In particular, we found that the policy regarding 'inciting' violence was too vague, and so we have made an effort to adjust it to be more clear and comprehensive."
