I thought it was interesting. I'm not really into US politics but this is more about Reddit anyway.

https://www.engadget.com/2016/07/28/donald-trump-reddit-ama-censorship/

Apparently Trump only answered 12 questions during the AMA and the rest (2200 people) got banned.

"For the record we banned 2200 shills during Mr. Trump's AMA. Sorry brigaders, you weren't dealing with amateurs, our mods are battle-hardened shill-slayers."

Are they banned from Reddit or just from the_donald?

If it's the latter who gives a gently caress?

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I am glad they gave Trump a safe space to answer questions before he became bored again and did something else.

The Donald people are saying Reddit removed the Trump AMA from the front page, despite it receiving the most upvotes or whatever because of LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS!!!

I think it's important that we all know what's REALLY GOING ON at Reddit because that's where the election will really be decided imo.

They made it a sticky days after Reddit said they were changing the sticky algorithm to make it so stickies are less likely to make it to the front page or /r/all

So they're just a bunch of loving idiots basically

Sorry my friend, I don't use Reddit (unless someone linkbaits me there). So I doubt I'm a very good news source, unless the story reaches the news like this one.

They autobanned all new accounts to keep down spamming/shitposting knowing they were getting a bunch of shitposting/spam either way, autobanning new accounts under 30 days old or under 500 post karma seems fair.

SA's ten bucks entrance fee serves (served?) the same purpose and I don't see anyone bitching about that.

because the people who would bitch about it wont pony up ten bucks and that is not the only accounts they banned


but who loving cares if you get banned from a loving subreddit about sucking off an oompa loompa
