Reddit has banned the second-largest pro-President Trump subreddit, The Great Awakening, as tech platforms increasingly ban Trump-supporting and conservative forums.
Top Reddit moderators made Big League Politics aware of the fact that “The Great Awakening” was banned Tuesday night at 11:45 PM. The subreddit has been down all day.
The Great Awakening subreddit served as an informal platform for followers of the Q Anon movement, as well as for other independent researchers.
Top Reddit moderators have provided Big League Politics with information showing that left-wing operatives including an employee of CBS have been involved in posing as Trump supporters to post offensive anonymous content on Reddit in order to get pro-Trump subreddits flagged. BLP will be rolling out that information today as this censorship purge goes into high gear.

The CBS employee has been identified by top Reddit moderators as Gary Phillips, who serves as digital media administrator for CBS Studios International in Los Angeles.

The Big Media is desperate to shut down ANY conservative voices now, before the election, and are doing so with glee.
I wonder if folks in 1930's Germany looked on incredulously, as we are now, as institution after institution became censored, as the Nazi's took over?
I see this as equivalent to blowing up or shutting down radio sites prior to an invasion. Keep the enemy in a comm shutdown and the enemy can do whatever they want.
What the hell is “Reddit”?
Kinda like FR without adult supervision.............
Things are getting more and more real.
But antifa sites calling for violence are not similarly shut down.
Someone explain to me why a company would be this stupid when the DOJ has decided to investigate internet companies banning speech? That is just asking for trouble.
Because Sessions is a joke and tech money owns congress.
625,000 Trunp supporters are on the Reddit the_donald.
It generated memes and shared info beginning in the primaries. Broke several stories and took Trump’s message to 18-24 year olds.
This article conveniently leaves out that what was actually shut down was the Q anon sites. Reddit considers it fake news propaganda. Just sayin.
“...Someone explain to me why a company would be this stupid when the DOJ has decided to investigate internet companies banning speech? ...”
It’s pretty simple, really. History shows that NOTHING will happen to them and even IF there were anything, it would be tied up in court to well after the mid-terms where it would eventually die on the vine. Basically, the evil SOBs are fearless.
And you are okay with conservative voices being silenced okeydoker.
Are you a bot? One of the seven dwarfs.
The rest of the story is that this group was invaded by far left types posting stuff that violated reddit terms.
Maybe the banned millennials will come to appreciate FR, where they won’t be kicked off for supporting Trump.
Have you been to the daily Qanon threads here?
Many FReepers want exactly that...
all of them kicked off or the thread shut down at a minimum.
It gets about 1000 comments a day now for months.
Likely not.
FR has too many church ladies and retired guys in mobile homes.
Subs like The_Donald are far more energetic, and edgy for many people here.
Free speech is not allowed in the leftist world.
Reddit is also scrubbing their site of any anti-Serena sentiment. She is married to Alexis Ohanian one of Reddit’s co-founders.
Any examples of Antifa sites calling for violence. I believe it’s true but haven’t actually seen it. I’ve seen videos of the violence from Antifa but am wondering if anyone is compiling a list of examples of active incitement on a site.
