Fake news for us, but not to those who were part of it. It wasn't fake news at all. They are going to group again somewhere else.

The member might see this as action to silence. This could make them even more angry and isolated. Reddit meanwhile will be a unreliable source of information to them.

Reddit should be considered an unreliable source of information to everyone.

They already build a clone of their reddit forum a long time ago.

They correctly saw that, in the run-up to the election, all the big leftist tech companies would assert themselves and silence conservatives in an effort to "prevent the next Trump situation" as Google's Jen Gennai put it last May when she thought she was talking to a fellow "diversity advocate".
