Reddit Oh Reddit, Quarantining the Quarantine?

Seems Reddit is moving to centralize information on the Covid-19 pandemic even more. As of today they banned the head mods of the biggest "unofficial" pandemic sub Wuhan Flu. The reason this sub is important is because it was the only sub to have been quarantined and not have ever been moderated by the power mod Clo_Junkie, a super sketchy guy who took over all Corona related subs in early February and homogenized them into the same mod teams.

Sounds like the same playbook they pulled for the donald only faster. First quarantine it then remove the mods so you either take it over by placing your own chosen mods or kill the community. Not that that's surprising mind you, Reddit's been a shitpile for a while when it comes to anything resembling free speech.

Sheesh, sounds more like a popular trend on the internet these days. :(

The Boot isn't going to issue any threadbans for this derail, since it's closer than most to being on topic. Remember, if it is not about *the virus* itself, then it's not on topic, this is about Reddit being power-mad pricks related to news coverage of the virus, that's sufficiently different that it should be in a different thread.

Reddit is leftist hellhole, anything that goes against their commie agenda gets silenced.

Their will be a reconing for this nonsense.

Google will be the first target of course but there are a lot of very arrogant tech giants that have made very powerful enemies.
