In the thread that allegedly lead to the ban (you can see an archived version here - http://archive.is/vpvb4 http://archive.is/vpvb4), The_Donald users post comments like: - 'get a rope' - 'So, firing squad time right?' - 'If he is not fired for this then wtf do we do next? Take matters into our own hands?' What was Reddit supposed to do? Tolerate death threats on its platform? Then get sued if the person gets murdered? And this isnt an isolated example.

If you give me access to their elastic search dB, indexed from the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.

Quarantining the community does nothing to mitigate those risks.

>what was reddit supposed to do? Probably treat the situation the same way they do in other subreddits. The whole “taking matters into our own hands” and calls for violence against politicians happen in other subreddits, and yet they don’t get quarantined (looking at you, r/politics). Either quarantine them all or none of them.

  r/politics perma-bans those commenters with a quickness, unless I'm out of date. Meanwhile, r/LateStageCapitalism, a sub whose premise is to induce lust for the guillotine, has been quarantined before because one user was running around yelling about Guillotines in the comments. This would happen periodically. So the admins changed up the mod team. They kept the Anarchist/Communist asthetic, but Social Democrats run the sub now. And they keep the space guillotine-free.

this is total bullshit, ive been on that sub since the beginning, never calls to violence. I go elsewhere on reddit and Im told I should be harassed and die and so should my newborn son, because you know, hes white. Trump should be killed, mitch mcconnell killed, ag barr and on and on. its censorship, plain and simple, and spare me the private company bs. you want to cite more instances of violence I dare you to find more on t_d, its a daily occurrence on politics, worldnews, the mueller. the people that want to get t_d banned go in and make the comments and then say "look look" but what do you expect from a bunch of pussies
