This played out how many (myself included) speculated it would.
1. t_d would not be banned as long as it was moderately active (it's basically been dead for months)
2. If it goes, ChapoTrapHouse gets banned as well.
The big thing here is that Chapo served as a clearinghouse for the "dirtbag left" and was incredibly active. The expectation that it would be banned was increasing even before the anonymous warning over the weekend. It was common for users to get warnings/3 day bans for "posting violations of content/upvoting violated content" without specifying the specific post or rule that was alleged to have been violated.
It's clear that including Chapo was a weak, "both sides" move.
