Reddit banned its largest community focused on the fringe conspiracy theory Qanon on Wednesday, claiming the subreddit was cut off “due to repeated violations of the terms of our content policy.”
The community, called /r/GreatAwakening, had more than 71,000 subscribers making over 10,000 comments on average per day before it was banned. A backup subreddit, /r/the_greatawakening, was also banned, along with 17 other Qanon focused communities, including r/BiblicalQ and r/Quincels.
The subreddit, which is a term for the common interest groups that make up Reddit, has been host to a stream of violent threats based on the conspiracy theory — despite repeated calls from the community’s moderators urging them to stop, particularly in recent weeks. Qanon devotees falsely believe that President Donald Trump is secretly waging a war with special counsel Robert Mueller to take down a global pedophile ring led by Hollywood celebrities and the Democratic Party, most notably Hillary Clinton.
Threats to kill Clinton pervaded GreatAwakening earlier this month when users were incensed by a Qanon-based theory that she was somehow causing military planes to fall out of the sky. GreatAwakening members implored the community to “kill all enemies”

Rats are panicking
Whenever I see a mainstream news outlet using the term “fringe conspiracy” it triggers a red flag that there is something it doesn’t want me to see.
Man-bun wearing, cocoa-drinking, little SJW Bastards. I was actually on the Great Awakening subreddit when it happened. I refreshed to get new posts...
And got the Ban Banner. No reason given for it.
Infiltrated by provacateurs.
Super simple on the Internet.
If an entire subreddit can be banned for the actions of a few individuals, there won’t be many subreddits left....
So why does this get press but NBC ignores actual threats against Trump political rallies and actual attacks of Republican congressman -
Yeah it’s a theyoricsl question...
Rhetorical question... why doesn’t AC kick in there?!
The problem I have is like in academia, the broadcast news and print media, we—and our views—are being choked out of the public discourse.
They can say we’re racists, homophobes, sexists, and evil, and eventually, there’s no one left to dispute a single word.
Then what?
They come for us physically?
The procedure is well laid out.
Get a bunch of libtards to subscribe, have them post hateful and violent things, blame the republicans, and get the site banned.
/r/sjwhate is still up, I’m surprised they didn’t get axed for being effective documentors of left-wing crazy
You nailed it.
Yes the RATS are in panic mode.
Q seems to have anticipated this and has made provisions for it. There has been speculation that 8chan is hosted on NSA computers.

Main points of interest only.
It will serve as the main hub of all communications once all other sites ‘tracking’ collapse [8ch only].
What part of another wave of attacks coming [yesterday] wasn’t understood?
This is not a game.

You would think so except that all the related fora were deleted near-simultaneously. There was no ‘real’ violation even by the faux rules; they were just purged.
Others will follow soon. FReepers who dislike Q stuff and cheer now will be less thrilled later and even less when here comes under DDOS and other pressure.
Time for a Trump media empire - T.M.I.
While I’m not all that familiar with Q, I do know some very nice conservatives who follow him...or whatever it is.
The couple told me today that there were rules against fomenting violence on the great awakened board and that within the past month or so, it was bombarded with possible David Brock shills (that’s what they call agents provocateurs) and bots that would down vote every post by 15 votes. Also a lot of shills were calling for violence and would be banned, but others came back to take their place.
My opinion is that any form of censorship is bad. This includes Alex Jones who I do not follow or care for do to his attention-getting behavior. And what’s with all the MSM articles calling the Q followers crazy? Let ‘em be crazy so long as they’re not behaving like Antifa.
Reddit founder, Alexis Ohanian, none other than Serena Williams husband.
“Others will follow soon. FReepers who dislike Q stuff and cheer now will be less thrilled later and even less when here comes under DDOS and other pressure.”
This is what I fear. And wasn’t the #Walkaway” guy banned today from Facebook just because he was interviewed by Alex Jones?
Something awfully fishy is going on and I doubt our POTUS can do anything about it. Sessions will be dead before the DOJ does anything about these companies and their anti-conservative liberal bias. And then again, I don’t know if I want want government interference. It’s frustrating.
The moderators in that forum didn’t allow any content that could reasonably allow the forum to get pulled. The moderators were posting warnings about what not to post all the time. They pulled any questionable content immediately. All these MSM articles are lies to cover the real reasons these forums are begin pulled. The deep state knows that Trump is coming after them. And they are scared to death. They do not want people to be awake. That forum had at least 70 thousand followers, and probably a lot more.
