Reddit is a bit of a controversial site sometimes when it comes to content that is hosted on their site. I've written about some of their subreddits before, ones that I personally find to be very interesting.

But those were just 11 random subreddits. There are literally over a million different subreddits hosted on the site.

I'll give you a REALLY quick breakdown of what Reddit is. It is basically a massive forum and within this forum are subsections referred to as subreddits. Each subreddit has their own theme to what it is, as well as rules that the posts in the subreddits must follow. Subreddits are allowed to make their own rules, but they MUST conform to Reddit's global rules and content policy. If a subreddit refuses to comply with these rules the admins of Reddit shut them down.

Pretty simple, right?

Well no, it's not.

Lately, Reddit has been trying to crack down on subreddits who are violating their content policy. One subreddit that was recently banned (and 200% deserved it) was r/incel which was banned for promoting hate and violence against women.

But the problem isn't just limited to this one forum--hate speech and threats of violence are a common problem throughout Reddit. One of the places that sees a lot of hate speech is a subreddit devoted to praising Donald Trump, r/the_donald.

In the end, Reddit is a business, and unlike r/incels, which wasn't a terribly popular subreddit, r/the_donald has over half a million subscribers. Banning such a popular subreddit wouldn't be good for business as it would anger a large group of already angry individuals.

Reddit's CEO, who goes under the username Spez, held an AMA ('ask me anything') earlier in November. Reddit user DivestTrump asked Spez, "Why hasn't /r/the_donald been banned?".

He got no reply from Spez.

After he got no reply he compiled 45 examples of comments made on r/the_donald subreddit.

Spez replied after that happened. He stated that, generally, the r/the_donald moderators cooperate when the Reddit team approaches them regarding systematic abuses. He also said that Reddit normally will only ban an entire subreddit if moderators are uncooperative or when the subreddit as a whole violates Reddit's policies.

Interestingly enough, Spez also said that Reddit HAS had to remove moderators of the r/the_donald who refused to work with them. What does it say about a subreddit's community if it has had moderators in the past who were too radical and uncooperative?

To help get the word out about what is said in r/the_donald subreddit I will post all the evidence that DivestTrump gathered. Please note that since DivestTrump posted these to the AMA, Reddit mods have deleted most of the original comments. But, if you follow the links you'll be directed to the comment chain it originated from, as well as what post they were made about.

I think it should go without saying, but trigger warning for violence and hate in the following comments made by the subscribers from r/the_donald:

1. "Then hang them. No prisoners, no mercy."

36. "No surrender. Kill the commies and keep our land. More than that, the invasion of our borders is an act of war, in direct violation of the treaty signed with Mexico in 1848. At that time, the U.S. had seized territory as far south as Mexico City. The wall would be a whole lot CHEAPER if we ran it straight from Petatlan to Tecolutia, and reclaim that previously conquered territory. Do you like the sound of THAT, Mexico? Because that's the fire you're playing with. There was little danger when the pussy Obama was calling the shots, right? Well, Trump is "el jefe" now, señores."
