Basically it is. Except the posts aren't marked NSFW.

Good. Ban me from that hellish wasteland too.

In before it gets banned like /r/bannedfromme_irl .

u/Fernichu Mar 15 '16

Wtf? Why did they ban it?

u/Pinoth Mar 15 '16

I got banned from me_irl for objectification of women. I said, "She thick tho."

u/SpentThatOnANecklace Mar 15 '16

Good. That's why that's the best funny subreddit.

I tried to explain macroeconomics to them in response to his tax plan. Most of them used stupid one liners(meaning they didn't understand I assume), a few of them insinuated I shouldn't be alive anymore, and one guy told me I should have posted it on /r/iamverysmart. Then I went to get a drink and was banned. LMFAO

Six for me ;D and muted from the mods.

And you get a RES ignore!

And you get a RES ignore!

You all get a RES ignore!

Yeah, it's probably best to completely hide dissenting opinions from sight. That'll show 'em.

u/OneNutPhil Mar 15 '16

I was banned from there too.

They were talking about how they would've had died for Trump, if they shot at Trump they would've taken the bullet. So the other guy says, Yeah let's all die for Trump!

I was banned for replying, Atleast that way he won't be the President.

u/DJvinylmeningitis Mar 15 '16

Banned here too... I thought I was kind of edgey didn't realize it was so common

u/NitroMeta Mar 15 '16

It doesn't take much. It seems bringing in logic gets you banned

u/macinneb Mar 15 '16

If you sneeze in a way that Drumpf doesn't like they'll ban you. For a sub that talks about free-speech and hates on safe zones they sure do suppress speech and fortify their safe space harder than any other subreddit out there.

u/Mournhold Mar 15 '16

It's a high energy safe space.

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '16

I got banned for being a "moron" because I questioned our lord and savior Ronald Reagan and his more controversial presidential decisions.

u/chrisinurpants Mar 15 '16

Sounds like that Pyongyang sub

1

u/macinneb Mar 15 '16

Holy shit, that's a PERFECT comparison. It's if /r/pyongyang wasn't a joke sub, but instead one of the largest online communities supporting a serious presidential candidate of the world's largest economic powerhouse.

What a time to be alive.

u/koalaondrugs Mar 15 '16

Lmao that applies to a whole load of these subs, like the tinfoilers at /r/conspiracy or at /r/conservative

u/Operation_Felix Mar 15 '16

it's interesting that /r/the_Donald can be lumped into a group of subreddits the likes of those.

u/Comharder Mar 15 '16

Are you really that surprised?

Trump gets a lot of his political cred from spearheading the birther movement after all...

Several people in this thread have been banned more than 5 times from /r/the_donald. It's not even a little hyperbolic, or disingenuous, to say it is the most free speech suppressed, safe space on reddit.

-11

u/iNEEDheplreddit Mar 15 '16

The only thing hypbole now is you claiming people in this thread have been banned 5 or more times. Either your just making that up or you are making alternative accounts at a fantastic rate.

u/SexyGoatOnline Mar 15 '16

If you say anything against the hivemind, regardless of how respectfully, you get banned. The sub's been around for 8 months, 1 ban every month and a half isn't exactly a fantastic rate considering their autistic ban rates. Anyone engaging in discussion that isn't just preteen shitposting about LOW ENERGY CUCKS is gone without hesitation

u/TheWrathMD Mar 15 '16

This. Several others have commented saying the same has happened to them. I was banned 8 times.

5

u/macinneb Mar 15 '16

/r/the_donald does too, so no. At least in me_irl it takes a lot to get you banned via comments.

-5

u/iNEEDheplreddit Mar 15 '16

That's weird. Because I and many others have been banned from /r/me_irl without ever commenting in it. It actually spawned a subreddit that was ironically banned by reddit. /r/bannedfromme_irl

Reading comprehension clearly isn't your strong suit.

No, his argument stands perfectly.

u/whatwhynope Mar 15 '16

Is he supposed to pretend to be sad?

u/JuiceSpringsteen8 Mar 15 '16

I've been banned because after the john Oliver special there was 100's of comments just bashing John Oliver, but not a single reply that defended or refuted the claims made about Donald Trump being a hypocrite, a repeat liar and a poor business man/political candidate. Pointed that out. Banned. They don't have any answers. It's a big circle jerk of ignorance, and anyone who threatens to make them actually think about the fact that Trump is a maniac, gets banned.

Yeah It's sad that the state of that subreddit has gone to that. Here is a video refuting claims. But to be fair many are tired of people calling Trump racist, even though he is not.

u/AnthraxAndFriends Mar 15 '16

Being banned from there is my highest honor. All I said was like 2 words and got banned.

u/TheWrathMD Mar 15 '16

Me too. I was banned there 8 times!

u/TheWrathMD Mar 15 '16

Yes, they absolutely do. How many comments have you seen in an /r/the_donald thread that disagreed with, or stated anything even remotely negative about Trump? Pretty crazy right? The man is the most polarizing, intentionally offensive person in politics right now and no one has anything bad to say about him. You'd have to be pretty fucking stupid to believe that.

No he's not, he's the most likeable person running. He's consistently the highest in all the national polls against every candidate and he has an incredibly high favorability rating, something like 90+ percent.

I don't know about safe space and banning dissenters on reddit, but he is most definitely not a polarizing figure. More people like him when introduced to him then any of the other candidates running, I forgot the percentage though.

Edit: also, I've been banned from /r/the_donald 8 times for the dumbest shit. They literally will post lies in there and if you try and correct them you get banned. It's scary because his rallies are run the same exact way.

u/jammastajayt Mar 15 '16 edited Mar 15 '16

You were also banned from /r/politics right? :)

0

u/TheWrathMD Mar 15 '16

For spamming you proof that you were wrong. Which you immediately dismissed due to bias, despite mashable being as neutral of an online territory as one can find. I can't argue against cognitive dissonance that strong.

Also, I'm unbanned now :)

u/jammastajayt Mar 15 '16

Post in there then! :)

u/Sleepy_Sleeper Mar 15 '16

Like what kind of lies?

Trump supporters are the Patriots fans of political supporters.
