BREAKING: Reddit bans 2000 subreddits, including r/The_Donald to 'address hate'

"The community has consistently hosted and upvoted more rule-breaking content than average, antagonized us and other communities, and its mods have refused to meet our most basic expectations..."

I must confess i've never used reddit. I dont particularly like it but if reddit users are looking for a conservative home they come HERE or try Parler!

So if you know anyone who is there maybe you can reach out to them?

i have hated reddit for a while.

I have joined parler but it is not a “conservative’ site, according to the big boss

He actually offered 20,000 dollars to the first dem or left wing bigwig who joins.

He says the site will be real free speech, unlike the others.

That is why I joined.

But he is afraid he won’t get needed $$ in his next round of fundraising because of the conservative bent of folks on the site.

I suggest he write a letter to Musk or Thiel. Plus there MUST be many, many very wealthy conservatives.

Time to step up

Thing is conservative billionaires are probably more business and less ideologically driven than their sick counterparts on the left

I agree with everything you said.. Thiel would be an ideal investor he’s done this kind of thing before and helped new tech companies grow and it would be a wise investment in my opinion.

Reddit long ago lost its luster. A pathetic shell of itself that has caused multitudes to go off to independent fourms, Reddit clones or Discord servers.

The_Donald alone hasn’t been active in months, and we’ve long moved over to Thedonald.win, which is an almost 1:1 clone of the original, and is FAST moving up the popularity charts, plus they are going to expand the scope to more topics.

Reddit essentially shut down r/The_Donald months ago. They silenced a giant forum.

That was election interference in a big way, and I do not understand why it has not led to congressional or judicial action.

True. The r/Donald on Reddit was neutered months ago. They moved to their own site at https://thedonald.win

Parler will be the place to be for conservatives soon

Woke Big Companies won’t touch it for ads...but I’m sure many smaller sized companies focused on Conservatives will

~~~

Under previous timelines, I’d have predicted a 2-4 year arc before it succumbs to the powerful forces of censorship, but the forces have been growing and accelerating lately.

I lay money that you have serious claims of censorship from Parler users in less than 2 years. Sooner if Biden wins/steals the election.
I don’t care how deep your convictions and principles run, no one can withstand the accusations that you are abetting hate. They will come at you asymmetrically. This is guerilla social warfare. They don’t just attack your reputation and your income anymore. They use attack groups like FusionGPS that are not just skilled reporters/investigators/lawyers, but who are also allied with the deep state.

You know, I was thinking that while I was typing.

Especially when money and livelihood come into play.

If biden wins, much faster you’re right.

Even the rich guys who seem to be on our side now probably didn’t say such things until they were billionaires.

Heck, Trump (and me) had to play that game in NYC.

Sometimes I fought with co workers, sometimes I’d just say I don’t talk politics in the office...you have to feel out the situation.

It’s sad but true

And God forgive me, every now and then you say something you don’t believe to keep your job. I’ve done it.

That shouldn’t be in the USA

It is an election year they will do whatever they can to thwart communication among one party.

Parler and the like are ghettos where conservatives/anti-establishment types will be isolated from the main stream. That is not an improvement on the current situation.

Fox don’t seem to do too badly do they? despite boycotts.

A Freeper suggested he charges a monthly sub like Netflix/Amazon, say $5/month that would make sense to me and could raise cash if people are prepared to pay.

Yep. And they allow the woke Lefties to dominate every sub, even r/Jokes!

Make a joke about a Lefty icon or even challenge them and they swarm in from all over the universe, and they cuss you out with the worst language they can muster. Reddit does nothing.

I stick to r/guitars and r/unresolved mysteries.

Not to be mistaken for a Red State.

One of the Reddit bosses (who knew there were any) resigned recently so the company could give his job to a black person.

True story.

would never work...

donations would be better..many would support it just to get back at twitter

that combined with any ad revenue from non-woke companies i think it will be ok

The folks over at TheDonald.win are ready to do what it takes to win in November:

"Don’t worry I will suffer the Kungflu, push through a BLM riot, fight a swarm of murder hornets and crawl over broken glass to vote GEOTUS again!"

We should all adopt that spirit, get our neighbors to the polls, and WIN!

Reddit has also banned all of the “Gender Critical” subreddits. For those not in the know, gender critical are feminist lefties that don’t buy into the tranny nonsense. If she were on Reddit, J.K. Rowling would be an example. They are cracking down hard on all who disagree with the far left agenda.
