An individual can migrate a forum without any assistance. Not denying that The_Donald was a community, just saying that the migration of content is not evidence of the extent to which something is a community.
> And yet Reddit happily ignores vote brigading and other negative externalities from any subreddit that toes their party line, so it seems bizarre to single T_D out.
Except T_D literally was not singled out. CTH was also banned, along with approximately 2000 subreddits.
> "we're fishing for a made up reason that lets us boot you guys"
Reddit has listed "communities that promote hate" as a reason to ban subreddits for at least 5 years. Not sure how this is "fishing for a made up reason."
- sixteenyearold 6y agoYes, but why are they banning big groups that disagree with them while allowing far larger groups that share their ideology? Here's a reply to their announcement of the updates and banning of T_D: There's a sub you missed then: If you dont want to ban r/politics whats your explanation? r/politics on the London attack: "I just hope the people who were on that bridge were redneck Republicans like you so the slaughter was justified."

- raxxorrax 6y agoI think these statements are ignored because the authors seem inept and this behavior is expected.
- zpallin 6y agoIt appears that you are advocating for censorship then. If you think all this /r/politics stuff is contemptible, would you agree that banning T_D was good, even if it was, as you assert, a biased measure?
