The inactive claim is hilarious, let's remove all the mods so you have to close the community so we can claim you are inactive... The funny thing was they removed mods because of the lack of moderation... which was unfounded as they never said what content went unmoderated. It's annoying to be persecuted based on political ideology, but we all know what Reddit is now, the most extreme liberal echo-chamber on the internet. It's their site they can do what they want (see their terrible redesign), just like Digg. For anyone interested you can find T_D here: https://thedonald.win https://thedonald.win ---- Replies embedded below due to HN restrictions ---- ---- @Rebles --- > They weren't banned for political ideology, they were banned for doxxing, fear mongering, and generally being a community full of toxic posts. There was never any proof of said doxxing, which I'm sure happens on all subs across the board in small instances. Fear mongering and generally being toxic? I didn't see anything like that, I saw people supporting their president and voicing their disdain of liberals and Dems. I'm sure it's good riddance for you, but you're talking about hundreds of thousands of supporters of the President of the United States. Good riddance to Reddit, it's a toxic PoS now, T_D was the only good thing about it, glad they have their own site and I don't have to visit Reddit. I really enjoyed Reddit before it was hijacked by MediaMatters and ShareBlue. ---- @noir_lord ---- > At this point been pro-Trump isn't really an ideology, it's a cult in all but name. I can see how you would think that if you listened to liberal propaganda all day. What makes you think that you're not in the cult and the other side is right? Trump supporters come from all political spectrums of the right, I'm a libertarian, not a conservative. ---- @Rebles #2 ---- > This is a strategy imposed against racism and violence. If conservative voices include a lot of racism, then, yes, I guess they should stop being racists. That's how they label the right when they don't have anything else to say. We're terrible people with terrible ideas, don't listen to us. No, we live together with races, many of us have mixed families, like myself, and there is no mainstream racism. Racism exists on both sides in a minority and has nothing to do with political ideology. Labeling someone a racist is #1 in the Democratic playbook, fake sexual allegations is #2.

  T_D wasn't banned because it was inactive. spez's post says, "All communities on Reddit must abide by our content policy in good faith. We banned r/The_Donald because it has not done so, despite every opportunity." They weren't banned for political ideology, they were banned for doxxing, fear mongering, and generally being a community full of toxic posts. That's the reason it was banned, and good riddance.

    That was the reason stated, which is not the same as it being the actual reason. This is the strategy being imposed against conservative voices at large.

        The "everyone I don't like is a racist" debate strategy isn't a good look, but "every conservative is racist" is just pathetic. There was literally zero racist activity on The_Donald. The mods were very transparent and showed EVERY ACTION once they hit quarantine (to show they didn't deserve to be quarantined). The only racist posts came from new accounts / people who had never posted in The_Donald that were immediately removed by mods.
