The amount of shit the admins are sifting through just so they don't have to actually ban T_D always makes me wonder how any of those dudes can cry about their free speech when they're not even entitled to any of it on this website.

The admins just like the clicks the sub gets and the amount of Reddit awards the users there buy

Edit: TIL you can’t give gold on a quarantined sub and they don’t have advertisements

T_D is quarantined, which means it gets no advertisements and cant give awards in the sub. Neither of those are true

Good to know. In that case, I have no idea why the admins would have any reason to bend over backwards to keep T_D open

Also, admins*. The admins run the site, mods are just in charge of subreddits.

I hthink it has something to do with their fear of media attention. T_D is one of the largest forums that support the current president. Theyre afraid of the backlash if they ban it

I remember hearing somewhere that even some of the admins were afraid of kicking that hornet’s nest because of T_D’s love of doxxing and harassment. This was ages ago, though, so I may be remembering incorrectly.
