Moderators of that community are calling this an "impossible standard" to meet. pic.twitter.com/SOBhWVpx2V
A post on r/The_Donald explains Reddit quarantine was due to "repeated rule-breaking behavior... and an over-reliance on Reddit admins to... remove posts that violate our content policy." Notes users encouraged violence against Oregon officers & lawmakers.https://t.co/PVOYQOeYPH pic.twitter.com/cSWWo04L2G

Reddit just quarantined The_Donald, one of the largest pro-Trump forums on the internet. Reddit says The_Donald's users were encouraging violence against police officers. https://t.co/cE1b2xld1V

Reddit has given The_Donald moderators a list of things to clean up the forum. But on Reddit, quarantines are often the prelude to an outright ban. https://t.co/liL5LEYciJ

Turns out threatening elected officials in Oregon was a bad look. https://t.co/2ruOSe2MHj

"The subreddit, which began as a community for Donald Trump supporters, quickly became notorious for being a space that hosted hate speech and encouraged harassment of other #Reddit users." https://t.co/HlgiqfZUnz

Weird, does China’s Tencent, share holder of Reddit, have anything to do with this?@marcorubio @SenTedCruz you need to ban China from buying US social media & meddling in our elections.

Looks like Reddit has declared the US election open -- first salvo fired by harassing the main reddit for their election enemy.https://t.co/6x0EYsABQi

Really glad the team has been able to finally justify action.
Platform moderation is one of the hardest tightropes to walk in the modern world and the Reddit team seems to be navigating it much better than most.

Why was the entire subreddit quarantined, and punished for the actions of individual users?
— Humble Libertarian (@thehuli) June 26, 2019
This is like when the teacher punished the entire class for something one idiot did, and it's wrong.
Also a moral hazard to encourage false flag comments.https://t.co/P6iPRpciuW

These middle-ground solutions never work. Either Reddit is a place where you can post death threats or it's not. Pick one.https://t.co/ZynfIYodGv

The fact that "quarantining" is a way for reddit to "act" on violent statements on the toxic sludge factory that is r/the_donald is a direct result of the actions of large entities like YouTube and Twitter deciding allowing hate on their platforms is OK. https://t.co/Ua3CcJRVdU
— David Ruddock (@RDRv3) June 26, 2019
Nothing to see here. Just more Trump supporters threatening the police. https://t.co/c0caSXkDq2

r/The_Donald still exists at Reddit, but it's been pushed into the site's "quarantined" basement after a series of threats against police were posted there. https://t.co/Qug3McAyOr pic.twitter.com/xfPJHYLReN
