I know it was originally a spin off of the chapotraphouse subreddit but I don’t know much else. Is it it still affiliated with the podcast? How has it grown etc? Why was the subreddit closed etc.
Give me the lore, baby
so when /r/thedonald finally did enough terrorism to force reddit’s hand they banned all the left subs at the same time on bs pretenses.
IIRC; The Donald was closed months before that by the TheDonald mods, since they moved to their own Reddit spinoff. You could only view posts, but not publish anything. So it was the opposite, they closed the lefty subs and then closed the inactive TheDonald to look evenhanded.
