- Reddit has placed the controversial Donald Trump-focused subreddit r/The_Donald behind a quarantine screen after “repeated” misbehavior that includes inciting violence. A moderator posted an explanatory message from Reddit, which has asked moderators to make it clear that “violent content is unacceptable” on the forum. The move comes two days after Media Matters for America noted that r/The_Donald members were supporting violent attacks on Oregon police and other public officials.
Took them long enough. It's been a breeding ground and gathering point for white-supremacy and hateful rhetoric since before 2016. Shameful that it took them more than three years to act on it. Edit: After thinking about it for even a few minutes, it's only been _quarantined._ It still exists and will continue to serve the same purpose, it's just been swept under the rug a bit.
