Reddit, Acting Against Hate Speech, Bans ‘The_Donald’ Subreddit
The influential pro-Trump community broke the rules on harassment and targeting, said Reddit, which also banned other groups.


SAN FRANCISCO — Reddit, one of the largest social networking and message board websites, on Monday banned its biggest community devoted to President Trump as part of an overhaul of its hate speech policies.

The community or “subreddit,” called “The_Donald,” is home to more than 790,000 users who post memes, viral videos and supportive messages about Mr. Trump. Reddit executives said the group, which has been highly influential in cultivating and stoking Mr. Trump’s online base, had consistently broken its rules by allowing people to target and harass others with hate speech.

3. I don't know why anybody would be surprised.

Reddit has taken similar action many times previously. I think many non-redditors have a skewed bias of what that site is.

5. I absolutely love Reddit

Maybe (well, certainly) it’s the subreddits I choose to follow, but I find it to be an incredibly positive and supportive place.
