Pro-Donald Trump Reddit users were censored by Reddit admins for discussing censorship on the site. Reddit admins instructed  /r/The_Donald users to erase their posts that discuss censorship on /r/Politics— though it wouldn’t be the first time Reddit sought to control the content discussed on its site.

In an online conversation between The_Donald moderators and Reddit admins, a Reddit admin slammed The_Donald users for “interfering with their ability to moderate and use the site normally.” The_Donald’s comments on Reddit censorship lately led to a considerable number of temporary suspensions.

“In the conversation, /u/Sodypop claims that certain moderators of /r/Politics were receiving threatening messages and spam following posts in /r/The_Donald detailing censorship by moderators of /r/Politics,” Breitbart reported.

One The_Donald poster argued that when the roles were reversed and liberal users sent him threats and even exposed his personal information, Reddit admins ignored his concerns.

“…The only possible reason I can find for my suspension was down voting three posts by a mod of r/politics,” the user posted, noting that one of the posts they down voted was titled “Anti-Trump protesters attack supporters at California rally.”

The_Donald is a subreddit frequently filled with heated exchanges between Trump supporters and Trump foes. Pro-Trump users voiced concern that the Trump subreddit was targeted in a way that other presidential subreddits, such as /r/SandersForPresident, were not.

Some people are calling for Reddit to address the issue by making a public statement.

“A trusted source within the /r/Politics community has told Breitbart Tech that some are calling for a public statement on the issue by the Reddit admins and moderators of /r/Politics. It seems more events may be unfolding within the Reddit community in days to come,” Breitbart reported.
