Their mod staff was a-ok with people posting threats to Oregon politicians and Oregon state police, and after a media article came out pointing out all of this, Reddit finally took some kind of action and made it where the community is harder to access.

the current defense is "but my free speech" as if this applies to death threats but lol

Wow. Is there a reddit thread discussing the quarantine? A normal one, not a donald one obviously


The one I linked is from R/SubredditDrama

There's no real "neutral" ground tho

well it keeps them contained for the time being and prevents them from running rampant on other subs if theirs was fully deleted...I know they probably do that anyway but it would be worse if their safe space was completely removed.

No, its huge actually. Quarantined subs usually shrivel up and die eventually because of the restrictions set on them. T_D is kind of a special case though because it is kind of the center of the right wing space on reddit right now since Trump is the US president. So what happens next I couldnt say.

Usually the restrictions make it much harder to find and get into the subreddit as a new user or returning one. You need a verified email, you HAVE to be logged in to read the sub, the subreddit wont show up in public search results anymore, and you have to opt-in to read it.

This is in addition to other restrictions the admins put on the sub. For example they disabled T_Ds ability to have custom CSS because it deliberately prevented people from downvoting or reporting posts (unless you turned it off, but all CSS is enabled by default and there might be ways to hide the button to disable it). Reddit also wont run ads on it anymore which Im sure makes their advertisers very happy.

You're allowed to insult politicians all you want on r/politics but insultiing other posters or making threats basically gets you an instant permaban.

Yes, a subreddit getting quarantined because Trump's psychotic supporters are encouraging violence towards Oregon police officers is "solidifying" Trump's re-election.

Caution logic

Read that for me.

Anyone who cares about people being free to give death threats and making up conspiracy theories so children get death threats are scumbag human beings who probably wouldn't ever vote for a good candidate.

I love this comment:

First the came for the fat people haters, and I said nothing because another person's weight isn't really my business.

Then they came for the racists, and I said nothing because I was not a racist.

Then they came for the Nazis, and again I said nothing because, seriously, fuck Nazis.

Then they didn't come after me because I'm not a hateful little shitgoblin. Turns out they were just going after awful people and things are much better now.

It's still there, it just has a warning message discouraging people from visiting

reddit quarantine is basically a death sentence, the sub is going to get banned

There's 0 connection. You people think just reacting to things Trump and his supporters do are "why Trump won" and "why Trump will win again". It'd be one thing if it was a meme like NeonOctopus treats it, but you unironically believe it

So many of them do this tbf. Lots of supposed centrists also

decided to check r/conservative for the lulz.

This is actually huge. Reddit has essentially officially declared war on Trump and Republicans.

They went after the largest Trump supporting group on the Internet. This is big. I cant (can) believe they had the balls to do it. They dont understand what they got themselves into.

This is a declaration of war. Don't look at it as anything else.

It's time, Trump. We need you to do something about this.

Well I guess freedom is over.

The government needs to get involved with this immediately. I wish Trump would make more of an effort to unite the country again, but i'm not sure if that is even possible with these people...

Here will be next, mark my words.

First they came for the alt right, but I was not alt right, so I did nothing.

Then they came for the_Donald, but I was not a Trump supporter, so I did nothing.

Then they came for the libertarians, but I was not a libertarian, so I did nothing.

Then they came for me, and there was no one to defend me.
