What about brigading, harassment and intent to incite violence of other subreddits related to Sanders, r/politics, r/news, r/worldnews? Are they under similar quarantines and rules?


They quite literally are subject to the same rules, they comply with those rules though. There's a very distinct difference between what /r/politics does - which is comply with the rules to the best of their abilities, vs what /r/the_donald does which is to turn a blind eye because they disagree with the rules.


Do you have any examples of 'intent to incite violence' from those subreddits? The difference is that moderators of those subreddits try to remove that type of content.


Do you have any examples of 'intent to incite violence' from t_d?


That's quite a dishonest question. I asked a person that made a claim to provide examples of their claim. I have made no claims about TD inciting violence.


Pizzagate?


The mods of t_d stickied a recruiting post for the deadly Unite the Right rally in which it was readily acknowledged that their users would be joining ranks with actual Nazis.


[citation needed]


Citation right here:

>Prior to the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, The_Donald hosted a stickied post encouraging members to attend the rally and march alongside neo-Nazi and “ethnostate” groups, because, “In this case, the pursuit of preserving without shame white culture, our goals happen to align.” [0]

No, I need the citation of the source, not Vox's opinion.



I've seen links to posts in this subs calling for violence against police, Trump supporters, and calling for the assassination of the president.
