This comment is a mess. The fact that Reddit has banned /r/T_D does not make them liable in any way for what that community migrates to. These people espouse an ideology of "personal responsibility", yet it's Reddit's fault that they are choosing to interact with a more extreme website?

That is some pretty twisted logic you have there. This same ass-backwards logic is being used by some now to blame Joe Biden for the Capitol Riot. How dare Biden have won the election, he should have let trump win to prevent Trumps violent mob from sacking the Capitol Building.
No one should give in to the violent, hateful, irrational and seditious mob of Trump supporting Fascist thugs that are increasingly making up more and more of the right wing. They need to be crushed politically and shoved back into their basements. Capitulating to these Fascist thugs even in the slightest has shown that it will only lead to them being emboldened and pushing further and further into Authoritarianism. They don't care about Democracy or Rule of Law, only forcing their views on the rest of society violently!
There is a consistent logic to Trump and his followers: they are never to blame. Direct quote: "I don't take any responsibility at all"

Because Reddit is not the police?
Maybe the FBI should have as much knowledge about where the treasonous Trump supporters are meeting up as you do.

> there's a miss shooting
The good news is no one will get hurt! :)
Please explain why you think reddit has no fault in this, when their moderation decisions has directly led to the largest radical right-wing community on the internet.
Reddit could have contained TD. It chose to say “not my problem”?, and let them make an even more radical website.
