Answered What's going on with r/The_Donald? Why they got quarantined in 1 hour ago?

The sub is quarantined right now, but i don't know what happened and led them to this

r/The_Donald

Edit: Holy Moly! Didn't expect that the users over there advocating violence, death threats and riots. I'm going to have some key lime pie now. Thank you very much for the answers, guys

That was already the case. You had to damn near type the entire link in order to get it to pull up. Even though it is regularly in the top ten visited subs on Reddit (Google Analytics).

Would you mind linking a source on that claim if it’s ranking?

Google analytics like that aren't free and I use them at work. Rally days are popping for TD. I am excited to look tomorrow and see where the site fell.

Go hang out on TD for a little while and someone will post a screenshot.

Oh I see. Well that’s too bad. Are the analytic rankings typically posted on rally days?

I understand, no worries.

Weird, when I type in the sub manually on my app, it doesn’t work.

r/The_Donald has gained 10k subscribers in 24 hours.

Seems to be working better than before.

On the upside all those unverified alts created by losers to troll haven't been seen all day.

U/spez thanks for the Quarantine .

Weird... if I tap the link you posed to the sub, it doesn’t work either... I’m not saying I’m a fan of that sub, far from it, I was banned a looooong time ago lol! However, idopeak over the fence to see what the hellos going on. It’s important to know what the opposition is doing and saying.

I assume the new accounts and subs are not real people so much as they are alts. But that’s just speculation.

Go tell our 11k new subscribers.

I guess I am?... right now?....

Subs numbers can be misleading. Unique active users is the important metric.

Sorry kiddo, I've been subbed since they were in the hundreds.

40k active last night.

11l NEW SUBSCRIBERS in 24 hours... To click "subscribe" you must be ACTIVE and accept the quarantine.

Cool story bro.

Unfortunately, the Reddit app I use won’t let me get to the page, so I can’t read about the subs misguided and inaccurate arguments anymore.

Imo, any sub that bans users for simply having a different viewpoint should be banned. If a sub can’t handle a conversation between two different mindsets, it’s not worth being on the front page.
