In time for the election, Reddit cripples and censors their Trump-fan discussion forum, one of the biggest and most important conservative discussion forums on the internet. The moderators of the forum have announced Reddit is taking them out and asked people to migrate elsewhere, such as https://thedonald.win/ , ruqqus, etc..

They are even going after individual users now, handing out warnings and permabans for simply upvoting thought crimes.

In recent interview with the New Yorker, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman took things in a very different direction. “I’m confident that Reddit could sway elections,” Huffman told reporter Andrew Marantz. “We wouldn’t do it, of course. And I don’t know how many times we could get away with it. But, if we really wanted to, I’m sure Reddit could have swayed at least this election, this once.”

Its still up but quarantined , anyone who wants to can read the comments.

Its entertaining now because of the users posting stuff against reddit.

Here's one :

Upvote if you think Reddit is run by the CCP and has become fundamentally un-American.

Reddit is owned by the filthy Communist Chinese company TenCent. Remember how the NBA was removing fans who were pro-Hong Kong in American arenas by orders of the Communist Chinese, or Activision, or Blizzard...

Is Reddit a private company? If so, they can handle their forum however they want.
Time to find another place to post

It’s an open-source community, Reddit Lite, as it were. Here’s the difference (from their About page): “Share, vote, and discuss. All without censorship. On Ruqqus, you’re free to share and say anything protected by the First Amendment. No censorship. No shadowbanning. No bullshit.”

Private company using a “commons” to make money. The web was created and paid for by US tax dollars via DARPA and thousands of pro bono geek hours.
