Users started getting site wide banned just for upvoting stuff on the sub. Now half their mod team got removed and replaced by new mods that reddit admins have chosen. RIP to the best sub on reddit.

Reddit is well within their right to not want that kind of shit on their site, and if you don't like it, tough shit.

T_D constantly censors itself. Why is it a problem when the site admins are just following the cues of T_D's staff? If T_D wants to be free speech warriors, they should try that. As is, what happening to them is no worse than what they do to their own userbase. They have no moral or ethical high ground. If they really don't like the platform whose ToS they agreed too, maybe they should... go somewhere else?

If that ends up killing their platform, well, it obviously had no sustainability to begin with.

The people crying about censorship here fail to mention that a lot of why the site has pushed against T_D is related to the fact that T_D has harassed and doxxed people and brigades other subreddits on a regular basis. They're not getting punished for difference of political opinion, they're getting punished because they're violating rules every forum in the last 20 years has had because it's critical to the operation of those forums.

Like I said, it's hypocritical for T_D to whine about free speech when they regularly censor any dissidents on their own sub. If they can't lead by example, why should anyone care if they get deplatformed? Should've actually tried to work in the boundaries of the free speech they praise so much.

It got quarantined and the only people who paid attention to it on reddit after that, besides the alt-right, were people who were deliberately looking for racist stuff to mock.

Also the reason for this is reddit laid out a policy yesterday that anyone who upvotes content in quarantined subs that violates reddit rules is subject to temp/perma bans. My guess is theyre playing softball with td yet again and are still trying to reign it in instead of banning it.
