A popular pro-Trump forum on Reddit called “The_Donald” has been suppressed right before Wednesday’s Democratic presidential debates.
Reddit’s “quarantine” of the forum means that users visiting the subreddit are now met with a barrier – that Reddit calls a “warning” – requiring the user to opt-in to viewing the hit meme repository.

Reddit claims that The_Donald was quarantined because they have to spend too much time removing content on the subreddit. This is a report of everything they've "had" to do in the last month. (Including stripping me of my ability to do the job they're complainign about) pic.twitter.com/k2KLNmnOJJ

The subreddit, housing over 750,000 members, is a major outlet for conservative memes and has previously hosted “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) events with many prominent conservatives, including President Trump himself.
