    First, I’m fully against defederating any instance that isn’t showing an instance wide bad actor status.

    But let’s be real, this isn’t about a political belief.

    It’s about the banner of “the donald” having been used for disruptive purposes multiple times. The c/ needs to be removed because it’s a “fuck you” meant to stir shit.

    However, any instance that wants it, I’ll be glad to create an account, create the same community, but dedicate it to a different Donald. If there’s already a c/ in existence with the name, it’s harder for the idea behind the subreddit to creep in. We take the name back

      How isn’t it political? TD was a rare manifest of a different idea having prominence and being subsequently attacked because “how dare it exist” at which point it went full “attack back” ans it became a ridiculous battle until the admins of Reddit decided they would go back to controlling narratives because the ad money wasn’t that good.

      Same as trump being banned for twitter. It IS political. There’s one political party in the US that is treated as “literally evil” and we are supposed to get on board and fight amongst each other instead of pointing how corrupt and entrenches the parties are and.how auperficial de battle. Is.

      But hey, if we pretend the whole world things in US terms and that anyone who doesn’t subscribe to identity politics and bullying with self perceived moral superiority then of course TD and similar “wrongthink” has to be banned.
