"Election tampering."

If successful, they will be rewarded.

If they fail, punishment is extremely unlikely.

“””“The_Donald,” is home to more than 790,000 users”””


In other news ‘The Joe’ was not removed from Reddit as Biden had no followers.

For months, new posts were banned.

Now it looks like the old posts (millions of them) have been deleted (or archived for doxxing, etc.).

Reddit also banned about 2000 other conservative or non-conforming forums. It is all about influencing the November election.

It gets better. In the rationale for the bans, Reddit explains that its rule against promoting hate based on identity protects “marginalized or vulnerable groups” but NOT “groups of people who are in the majority...”

So you can’t make a general comment about “black people,” but you can against “white people.” Some animals are more equal than others...

The article is total propaganda.

A few months back reddit sacked the moderators of the_donald and replaced the mods with reddit admin approved moderators.

This was after they had already quarantined the_donald for allegedly promoting violence against police.

At this point most posters of the_donald went to thedonald.win and moderation just locked the_donald outright because they couldn’t get enough mods to run the subreddit.

Flash forward to now and they ban the sub, which hasn’t had posts for months, because it continued violating rules?

MEANWHILE black lives matter and plenty of leftist subs on reddit are promoting violence against police AND racist hate speech against whites and they’re not even quarantined, let alone banned.
