An admin post in r/RedditSecurity confirmed that the subreddit r/NoNewNormal, which was full of COVID misinformation, was banned. Though the admin confirmed there's been a "pronounced" increase in COVID denial since July -- the same month federal and state governments began implementing vaccine mandates for employees -- the reason for the subreddit's banning was its connection to more than 80 brigades. A brigade involves members of one subreddit flooding another subreddit, usually to harass the other users.

Here's my shocked face. All the uber liberal friends get all of their info from reddit. I honestly don't know how they can stand it, just the functioning of the boards is horrible.

Didn't the creator of Reddit just post a "we're not banning things we don't like, including misinformation" post?

They aren’t even lying, technically. They just won’t say that the sub was being brigaded by every leftist shithole sub instead.

The sad part is just how true this statement is. Even places like r/libertarian are filled with statist who agree with things like UBI and bringing up Covid or restrictions will likely get you banned. The somewhat funny part is how all the white "anti-racists" believe they know what is best for the black community and how they should think. They despise men like Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder and Clarence Thomas yet make it clear you know they support BLM.
