It was about time for reddit's bi-annual "let's pretend we give a shit about hate speech," yes. Also, noted shitheel Stefan Molyneux got banned from YouTube, which is nice.

It's definitely an empty gesture, complete with banning a few rude but innocuous left-wing subs so they can say they're just neutrally enforcing the rules. Still, the_donald going from untouchable to getting banned as an empty gesture says something about the context beyond reddit.
