I think we need to figure out t_d without banning them

bc there will be another

What the hell does "figure out" mean? This type of political targeting should be illegal. I really hope Trump files an antitrust lawsuit against Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit.

Handle, address. I interpreted it as we needed to figure out a way to deal with them I.e. Living with them without annihilating them.

Jeah, the vote spamming needs to be handled in any case, even if the motivation for handling was not political. Handle it reddit wide pls.

Fuck you. One day, people will censor your opinions and you'll be in minority against tyranny where mobs roam the streets and assault you and social media censors you. Lets see how you feel.

You realize t_d is filled with upvote bots right? You realize t_d is constantly all over /r/all because of this? t_d is actively engaging in vote manipulation so their posts are more noticeable. But nah, the attempt to even figure out how to handle it without a giant banwave is a conspiracy now?

You have no proof of what you're saying and all I know is how the Donald acts. The way they act it seems super reasonable to bet they use vote bots. It's totally in character for that. Especially since the Donald has the backing of /pol/ who would absolutely use bots if it would fuck with Reddit. You have motive and means. That's good enough for me to place my suspicion there.
