Reddit purges 1/2 of The Donald’s moderators – replaces them with approved mods
I personally think that this article buried the lede as far as controversial Reddit actions go. Users now can be (and have been) banned for upvoting posts in quarantined subreddits (both on the right - T_D - and the left - Chapo Trap House - among others). I&#x27;ve seen controversy erupt all around Reddit about this and it doesn&#x27;t feel right to me. If the content that people are upvoting is bad enough to get banned over shouldn&#x27;t it just be removed from the site and not left up to upvote?<p>Edit: the official policy is that only upvoting rule breaking posts will be cause for banning which makes sense. The Redditors I&#x27;ve heard from claim differently but are obviously biased. So take what I said with a grain of salt.
