https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-to-stop-them/
hat is, filling up the feed of Reddit’s most popular posts with triumphant memes featuring Donald Trump, vicious ones about Hillary Clinton and posts explicitly intended to offend and outrage their “cuck” enemies, i.e., establishment Republicans, liberals and online “social justice warriors.” In recent months, those posts have been extremely visible on Reddit, much to the puzzlement and frustration of the rest of the site.
The posts rise up the ranks of r/all because the subreddit’s subscribers enthusiastically “upvote” pretty much everything posted there. Sometimes, the moderators will “sticky” a post of particular interest to the subreddit to the top of its feed, which has the effect of drawing even more votes. Redditors suspect that the subreddit is engaging in “vote manipulation,” against Reddit’s rules, though r/The_Donald’s moderators deny that accusation.
Reddit chief executive Steve Huffman told Redditors that the change was not entirely attributable to r/The_Donald and that Reddit had been “working on this change for a while.” But “I cannot deny their behavior hastened its deployment,” he added in a town hall post on Reddit on Thursday afternoon.
The subreddit r/The_Donald is generally more sincere in its support for Trump than, say, 4chan’s /pol/boards, where the alt right’s racist meme lords go for anti-Semitic jokes and smear campaigns. While there’s cross-pollination between r/The_Donald and /pol/’s membership, the Reddit community has a set of periodically changing rules that bans activity that might make their chosen candidate look bad — for instance, doxxing or anti-Semitism, one moderator said. On 4chan, Trump’s appeal is more conditional. When Trump talks and acts like a 4channer, he is celebrated.
The change to r/all comes days after Reddit’s news-gathering subreddit, r/news, devolved into chaos during the developing story of the Orlando shooting on Sunday.

Trump’s meme brigade took over Reddit. Now Reddit is trying to stop them.

Does this mean more or less reddit retreads on Gen-OT?
More than half of the shitposting here is some 12-year-old "discovering" a topic he saw on reddit.

You must browse reddit until you run out of links and then come here.

Usual Reddit/Regressive shit. Try to silence one side by calling them racists and such. Chances are if you think the Alt-Right only follows Trump because they are some sort of Racists/Sexist/Bigots/Whatever -ist Buzzwords, well...you are a moron.

r/The_donald has a shit-ton of subscribers its 166k right now, and it is very active, the sub is basically just jokes and people having a good time, occasionally news stories are posted that the other subs would downvote/ actively censor.
The change came right after the /news board censored any mention of the Orlando shooter being a muslim extreamist on the day of the attack. So one of the only places to read the story on Reddit was The_Donald.

Lol if you were a real regular you would know most of it is a joke. Pol has a sick sense of humor and loves nothing more than to fuck with people. Originally Posted by Paula Deen

Yeah and? I'm sure most subreddits ban people that say anything bad directly about the specific subreddit. This is people getting butthurt about posts in an unspecific subreddit . Originally Posted by Xanjori

They had to change their entire algorithm on r/all lol. It was no problem back when s4p dominated the r/all page of course. I've been there since it was 2k subscribers when 1 of our /trumpgen/ regs made the dom page last year.
Our outreach program on reddit has taken that site over to the point where they had to change the code. They won't quarantine because the dom page is just too active and generates too much money for le reddit.
All hail the one true god, Kek.
I may not agree with what you say but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it.

I am aware its all jokes. I am well aware. I was around back when it was still called /news/ and they actually talked about... shocker... news. That doesn't make it not anti-semitic though. Originally Posted by Nathreim

/r/The_donald gave a chuckle every now and thing way back when no one took it seriously. Now its fool of maymayers, anti-PC/anti-cuckbros/people who actually think Trump would be a good president.They brigade, they bully, they unironically say stupid shit. But I feel like outside news sources reporting about the state of reddit are cheating somehow. Definitely going for the low hanging fruit.
