ANNOUNCEMENT: The Future of r/The

Authored by reddit.com and submitted by 75000_Tokkul

We have been closed for just over 12 hours. Look at /all. It's covered in posts obsessing about us. The anti-Trump circle-jerk is stronger than ever, in a real 1984 type of way. We are the only place on Reddit that offers an alternative viewpoint. Even if you are against our president, you must see how valuable that is. Discourse is what makes this country great. We cannot cede all of Reddit to the bots spamming on one side of the conversation.

If you're like me, you're having withdrawals from the dankest place on the internet. We were planning to stay dark in protest longer but we're opening back up early because Seth Rich's killers are still not found. We are opening back up for him. No one is willing to talk about this, besides us.

As you all know, our top mod, u/ohsnapyougotserved, was banned and demodded by Reddit. We also lost two other fantastic mods. This will not deter us from chasing after our goal of equal treatment. That being said, we are NOT losing this community. That's what leftists want.

Where do we go from here? We continue to support President Trump, create and promote the spiciest memes known to man, and trigger the fuck out of leftists. We fight for freedom.

"for the last 12 hours Reddit has been laughing at us and Trump for being whiney babies that proves we have power"

Uhm....huh.

It's weird how so many of their comments sound like sarcasm but aren't. If you put an /s after each one they suddenly become the most anti-Trump sub in the place

In all likelihood, they gave up trying to find a place in voat and realized the only way they could have kept control over their community is by returning to reddit.

On a side note, anyone else find it funny how often donald's mods use 1984 as an example, while the writer was a socialist?
