Right-wingers, communists, even the world's biggest IRL livestreamer. Within minutes of Reddit announcement, subreddits "redditors may find offensive" were crippled.

“On a platform as open and diverse as Reddit, there will sometimes be communities that, while not prohibited by the Content Policy, average redditors may nevertheless find highly offensive or upsetting,” reads the September 27 announcement by Reddit administrator landoflobsters. In it, he explains that policies on “quarantining” subreddits have been updated to reflect “learnings,” and it will now be easier for Reddit admins to apply the measure to a wider array of communities hosted by the social media giant.

Within minutes, a long list of subreddits considered to upset average redditors were put into quarantine mode.

The hit list even included FULLCOMMUNISM and Ice Poseidon, a popular gay livestreamer who doesn’t have the heart to say no as much of LA’s homeless population makes pilgrimage to his home for food and shelter.

The move comes after several years of efforts by major social media platforms to remove communities and users considered problematic, usually right-leaning or transgressively comedic in nature.

The Reddit quarantine is designed to prevent the spread of such content beyond users who already know of its existence and where to find it.

Threads from a quarantined subreddit won’t be listed in the “popular” or “all” sections, nor will they show up in search. Users attempting to access a quarantined subreddit will be presented with a warning page often containing messages and links designed to persuade the user to “leave hate” or adopt the official position on certain historical events.

While the Reddit administrator refused a request to provide a list of the affected communities, /r/reclassified is hosting a thread dedicated to compiling one. Their list may grow as more are discovered.

List of subreddits banned: r/cringehaven (355 subscribers) [Created on Sept. 11th 2018] This subreddit was banned due to subreddit quarantine evasion. r/picsofdeadcops This subreddit was banned due to being used for glorifying violence. r/BlackCrime This subreddit was banned due to being used for inciting violence.

UPDATE: The quarantined subreddit list has since been deleted.

UPDATE: r/The_Donald, the world biggest pro-Trump community, has also been quarantined. Writes u/FreeSpeechWarrior: “The quarantine of r/the_donald makes it clear that quarantine exists as a censorious punishment, not as a means of preventing accidental offense as it was originally described by Reddit.”

UPDATE: Reddit has since banned and quarantined huge blocks of subreddits and keeping this article updated with them all would be too big of a task. It even appears our own reporting led to one subreddit’s demise. You can track subreddit quarantines with this r/reclassified search sorted by new.
