The reddit r/The_Donald has long been one space for racism, misogyny, homophobia and fanatical dedication to the 45th President of the United States. Today, after years reviewh, h Reddit αποφάσισε να αναλάβει δράση εναντίον του subreddit 790.000 συνδρομητών απαγορεύοντας το εντελώς.
The move is part of new policies against any hate speech following the Black Lives Matter protests that led to an initial ban on 2.000 communities.
Although only about 200 of these subreddits had more than 10 active users daily, today also banned other prominent subreddits such as r/chapotraphouse, a subreddit associated with a far-left podcast with the same name.
It was about time.
It should be noted that this is not the first time Reddit has banned r / The_Donald. As of 2019, subreddit had limited capabilities and its posts were hidden from the front pages of Reddit. However, the community has continued to grow to this day.
