What else is new, censorship is OK as long as only one side is doing it.

You say this after the president of the United States has incited a seditious, violet mob to attack the Capitol because he's a sore loser.

There are many examples you can pick if you want to point out bias in media, day before yesterday was not one.

For reference, conservative subreddits remain active, Donald Trump is the one that's banned.

Irrelevant. Most of the original users of /r/theDonald migrated theDonald.win, which became one of the top websites in the US in terms of traffic.

They're behind Cloudflare and constantly DDoSd these days it seems like it.

Moreover, they've gotten threats from their ISP that they have to delete certain posts or be shut down. (which seems scary to me)

Also, please don't judge me, I just have a morbid curiosity to see what these people are talking about and how they think.

Please cite me tweets/descriptions of where he incited anything. He said something like "we will remember this day," and not long after condemned violence and supported law enforcement. Then the next day he condemned it again.

No one is being censored. You’re perfectly welcome to go on 4chan or breitbart or parler or even other subreddits or just build a new platform. No one is entitled to use other people’s resources and effort to have their views amplified without moderation by those people offering that service.

Edit: every time I post a comment like this here I get downvoted. I’m not complaining, downvote away. But I have to wonder if the folks downvoting realize how much this site is moderated and how much they’re actively participating in it.
