Disturbing? I don't think so. I subscribe to the_donald because I want to keep up with what the nutters are saying. Yesterday I reported a post where they had photshopped out the dots in the " i "s in all of Mike Bloomberg's ads and replaced them with the star of david. That's just yesterday. And just one post that caught my eye. And it was one of the top posts of the day with thousands and thousands of votes and hundreds of comments. What's actually disturbing is the view that subreddit affords into the minds of 20-30% of the country.
The_donald has always been breaking the rules. The only reason it isn't banned is because reddit doesn't want the bad press of deleting it outright, even by their own rules it should have been nuked ages ago.
Finally, this isn't even touching the level of silent censorship that happens on hacker news to maintain its quality so its a really funny place to take a stand on it. If reddit is disturbing to you then man, you should be horrified by this place. Funny how HN is such a great place for discourse -- wonder how that happened.
edit: since a ne'er-do-well has accused me of lying here's a screenshot of the post. But I want to make it clear, this is one example out of an infinity of examples. I am illustrating that the_donald will not follow the rules and that's why this is happening: https://i.imgur.com/NHN1Mhx.png https://i.imgur.com/NHN1Mhx.png

- CriticalCathed 7y agoWhy, are you accusing me of lying?
- eanzenberg 7y agoBecause this is the internet and links exist
- CriticalCathed 7y agoSignificantly doubt that is the real reason.
- derision 7y agoI frequent the Donald daily, and have never seen any anti semitic content. And I browse /new as well
- CriticalCathed 7y agoThen you really aren't paying attention, or you're lying.
- s_y_n_t_a_x 7y agoSo you provide anecdotal experience and someone asks you for a link so you ask him "Why, are you accusing me of lying?". Then another person comments about his opposite anecdotal experience and you call him a liar??? Btw, you are completely mistaken, Bloomberg made those stars himself, it's not photoshopped, you're just sensitive: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/26/us/bloomberg-anti-semitism.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/26/us/bloomberg-anti-semitis...

Your one example is wrong. Maybe you have the wrong idea of the other side? Maybe your bias blinds your judgement and you hate what you don't understand? Certainly seems that way. We can all find hate when we look for it.
