In a move long anticipated, Reddit has cracked down in advance of the election by banning any political expression outside its permitted neoliberal orthodoxy. Its their biggest banwave of all time.
There were some leakers warning people this was coming today, and turned out OP was not a fag for once.
The new content policy bans all "hate speech" and redefines that term to say "hate speech" doesn't count if its targeted at a "group in the majority" or "hateful group", in which case its allowed.
They are rapidly knocking down subreddits, with 2000 getting the axe in one day, with The_Donald being notable but purely ceremonial as they were inactive for 4 months after leaving for their own platform
Lists are just pouring in now, meme subs like /r/consumeproduct and /r/bruhfunny, and political ones like /r/rightwinglgbt among them, with /r/chapotraphouse being their obvious token ban for the left, apparently kept alive only to sacrifice today.
genderritical, wojak, thenewright, smuggies, looks like anything 4chan related except 4chan sub itself (?) also campusconservative, soyboys, whitebeauty,


This was all pretty easy to see coming. Reddit admins weren't going to let their site host anything but Biden loyalists going into the 2020 elections. With the George Floyd cancel culture providing good cover, it was time for something they were planning for a long time anyway.

I can't believe reddit execs murdered over 100 political enemies to gain power.

Twitch has piled on, declaring that they have now banned Donald Trump from streaming on his platforms, banning the official twitch account of the president.

Some examples of hateful activities that would violate the rule:

Subreddit community dedicated to mocking people with physical disabilities.
Post describing a racial minority as sub-human and inferior to the racial majority.
Comment arguing that rape of women should be acceptable and not a crime.
Meme declaring that it is sickening that people of color have the right to vote.

Yet i would like to see how great, how contributing, were these "discussion" subs.
All subs matter.

‘banning’ the trump subreddit as if it means anything is a laugh. especially when when people stopped posting there and made their own separate website 4 months ago. Then again reddit is synonymous with empty rhetoric

how is supporting a lifelong swamp demon who used political power to put in legislation that placed thousands of minority men in prison for petty crimes and permanently separate thousands of families not the exact definition of supporting hatred lmao

This doesn't seem truthful at all.
