Reddit Says Goodnight to 'Alt-Right' Community

Good riddance.


Reddit Says Goodnight to 'Alt-Right' Community [Update]

Earlier today Reddit banned r/altright, the primary community on the site for the so-called “alt-right.” And for a variety of reasons, that’s about all we know.

The subreddit had always courted controversy and pushed the bounds of Reddit’s relatively lax policies on speech. Users from r/altright often made inflammatory remarks about a variety of marginalized groups and many espoused views in the white supremacist/national socialist spectrum. Two of the subreddit’s moderators also appear to have been terminated, though it’s unclear if that’s related to the subreddit’s ban.

Because moderators had artificially inflated r/altright’s subscriber count, there’s no telling how large the community was. Like other banned abusive subreddits (r/fatpeoplehate and r/pizzagate to name a few), r/alright have made a new home for themselves on Reddit knockoff Voat. That community presently displays 314 subscribers.

If it was bad enough, no problem provided (from a moral standpoint, standpoint of consistency) they also look at ANY extremes, left, right, or other (since, IMO, both extremes suck hard).

Content or political positions wasn't the problem.

It was that they were basically facilitating doxxing people, despite numerous warnings.

Do I see that right? Only a little over 300 people are in the new community for them? Hopefully that number stays small; it's crazy to think that all the "alt-right" hubbub could be a reaction to a few hundred people dispersed around the country/world.

Good riddance.

No need for reddit when FreeRepublic courts the haters.

The subreddit alr/t was really a false flag type operation being run by the Mexican Intelligence services. The purpose was to be so toxic that it would make anything "pro-border control" be tainted. Now that President Trump has started having his people installed at the CIA and NSA, they were able to identify this and took down the operation.

it is simply another ad hominem against people that refuse to blindly follow the liberal left mantra.

so much for the party of tolerance and inclusiveness.
they don't know what the words mean.

The term was actually started by white supremacist Richard Spencer. Steve Bannon had adopted the term to describe Breitbart News.

as I said. it is a ad hominem against people that refuse to bow down to the liberal left ideology.
even though they don't fit the definition of the word.

thanks for proving my point.

You don't agree with them?!? You must be a fascist!

Good riddance. All the free speech wannabe's out there love to complain about the left. Recent example: Kaepernick , telling them they have to protest, the right way. But then run straight to the whinery when an alt right troll gets banned on Twitter.

most progressive views are based on emotobabble. Emotobabble is hard to defend when it is confronted by rational opposition. Thus Emotobabblers tend to want to suppress free speech

Emotobabble would be long runon sentences including tirades about social plight?

Sucks for them.

There's always /r/The_Donald subreddit.

Yeah, like someone pandering to the pain in the country to be disappointed when an economist tells them it can't happen.

Conservatives don't resort to 'emotobabble' when it comes to anything nationalistic? (flagburning, pledge, national anthem etc).
