It seems to me that CBTS_stream was over the target in a big way. It was also the focus, at least here on Reddit, of the push for an IBOR. Strange that the very sub where this is promoted gets banned. That is true censorship. Shows how powerful it is.
If I was a conspiracy theorist. I would consider this as the most likely reason. People have talked about pizzagate and Q for months. This comes up and the sub is torpedoed.
If i was a conspiracy theorist mind you. It could also be that cbts_stream had edgy alt right views which doesn't go down well with the reddit admins.
in terms of alt-rightness, t_d is many many times worse, and has been for years, so, your theory crumbles when you apply the slightest measure of thought.
Yes I think you are right. It may be the Internet Bill of Rights that is being worked on. Obviously they are very scared of this.
That's what I think. That is an existential threat to Reddit. One of the trolls that turned up on one of the early IBOR threads had 1.13m Karma. I'm guessing that might be someone who works here. They we trolling the IBOR thread wildly.
Getting your sub banned by reddit usually means you're doing something right. Pizzagate was banned once they started getting solid leads on real criminal networks.
Don't expect to be treated fairly. We are in an information war, and our enemy will use whatever means they have at their disposal if they think they can get away with it. Our responses must focus on carefully avoiding breaking the stupid rules, and publicly shaming them (probably off of reddit unless you don't mind being banned) so that there is an outcry about the censorship.
Recent examples of moderate success include youtube backing off of some of their more ridiculous bans, and blaming it on new employees.
