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

> can be leveled at a lot of different websites, video games, and political parties. Everyone - every signle website, author, pundit, politician, etc who finds themselves mentioned favourably in a mass shooter manifesto should at least ask themselves how they got there and what has gone wrong with their messaging. There may not be anything they can do, but a lot of places seem to think that hate never leads to action…
Are you kidding me? This is like saying J.D. Salinger should have taken responsibility for John Lennon's death. Any looney toon on the block can reinterpret someone else's words to validate their insane desire to shoot up a Dairy Queen because they got the toppings wrong on their ice cream.

Less than half. About 43% according to 538
50% according to Gallup 46.4% according to the RCP polling average, within the margin of error to say half. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_tru... The average approval rating is strong enough to hold my point that there is a large number of supporters, do you disagree?

It's an extremely fair piece of information to use when trying to decide just how impartial the Reddit Admins are.
It's fair to consider as evidence of potential bias or lack of professional restraint, but only if you aren't lying about what actually went down.
The 'frontpage of the internet' is actively taking control of the subreddit of a presidential candidate, in an election year. I know that HN is highly against Trump, and probably cheer for this decision, but how is this not a democratic issue?
HN is actually surprisingly pro-Trump. I have been shocked at the broad support for economic nationalism (trade protectionism, etc.) from HN participants, as well as the chorus of agreement with Trump's anti-China stance.

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?
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.

FYI, Reddit's major investors include one big Internet company from Shenzhen Advance publications is also having huge exposure to China through Condenast's business in China
Which company is that? Wikipedia says they're independent with the majority shareholder being a New York company called Advance Publications
The propaganda ministry razed the media landscape to the ground over the last 5 years. Even completely apolitical companies like publishers of professional literature, science textbooks, photo journals, and children books got a boot.
The state has also been said to forcefully breaking up big media groups, denying mergers in between ad/pr/media companies.
Seeing Condenast thriving in China, knowing how things there are now, is very suspicious.

How can you own data that is submitted to a site you don't own? Or do users submit to hacker news through your site?
They just mean they crawl HN and maintain/mirror their own database of its content.

>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]
