Chapo was just banned too. No warning AFAIK.

Really this is what it's all about. T_D has been dead for months and its ban is mostly symbolic. Chapo has still been active.

It seemed really popular to me. The daily threads alone regularly had 4000+ comments when I was viewing the sub more frequently.

I think after getting quarantined we all knew it was coming, and this ban was known ahead of time. We just didn't know for sure.

There's already multiple clones of that subreddit, and there will be many more created, and they'll all be allowed to thrive.
