Reddit Bans Sub for Anti-Slavery Comments

[PikaDaDon]

Wow

For those wondering what's happening to r/cth: A full chain of events as I understand it

1. Someone mentioned on r/chapotraphouse that slave owners deserved to die.
   
   
2. Reddit admins suspended the person for "promoting violence".
   
   
3. In protest, hundreds more people started saying slave owners deserve to die.
   
   
4. Reddit admins suspended all of them. They even started instantly auto-suspending any account that said it.
   
   
5. Reddit admins demodded most of the cth mod team, saying they weren't removing the kill slave owners comments / memes. Appointed new mods.
   
   
6. Reddit admins contacted the remaining r/cth mods and told them they were gonna ban the sub if the kill slavers memes didn't stop.
   
   
7. The sub has restrictions put on it so only approved submitters can post to it, prepares to go private to try and avoid the ban (like that's ever worked before).
   

Did I miss anything?

Is anyone surprised in the slightest?
Unfortunately, Reddit is still a good source of google search forum hits.
