the_donald was banned years ago, along with many other far right subs. Where are these far right wing subs?

Right or wrong, I don't really care. The far right has been effectively purged from Reddit.

Maybe a single hive was removed after years of activity. The users from the Donald were not removed. They moved to other subreddits where they persist with the same behaviors. There has certainly not been any sort of purge.

Nah they instead purged those who opposed the hate mongering and called out the trolling...

I've come to hazard a guess they prefer the TD folks because the have higher engagement rates and are more prone to fall for the shady ads that reddit seems to be rife with

Where? I just don’t see it.

It looks to me they moved elsewhere, in some cases probably more radical communities.
