No wonder, what is being reddited?

On The_Donald, the following comments were shadow banned, but earlier and later comments from the same users were not (because the key phrases weren't hit):

  • "You haven't been paying attention to Qanon's posts, have you?"
  • "All former presidents retain Q clearance, according to Wikipedia."
  • "Not only that, but the Qanon article didn't come back. It was called "Q Clearance Patriot: The Storm and The Awakening" and you can still find it on the magapill.co copy (under Trump News) or in archives: https://archive.fo/zw6Sz Since President Trump pointed to this website when this article was the second most recent (under Trump News), some (e.g., David Seaman) have suggested it proves that Qanon is legit. The Newsweek article doesn't mention Qanon or Q clearance."

The first comment is from https://www.reddit.com/user/beansprout10282016 and the last two are from https://www.reddit.com/user/MichaelHall1/. You can confirm what I'm saying by searching through their profiles for those comments. Then right click on permalink or context and select "open in private window" and you won't see the comment, because those particular comments are shadow banned.

I find the second one particularly troubling, because it's a dry fact and not even about Qanon. It's not longer permissible to speak about facts on The_Donald. Also, a search finds no post on The_Donald in the last 24 days including the text "Q clearance", "Qanon" or "Q anon". Of course, there were hundreds at least, but they were censored. This is 1984.

tl;dr Comments and posts that include the text "Q clearance", "Qanon" or "Q anon" are being shadow banned on The_Donald.
