  on Twitch And Reddit Ramp Up Their Enforcement Against 'Hateful' Content

  I heard that the_donald was inactive for months when they banned it as everyone on that sub moved to thedonald.win. No idea if this is the case though as I don't pay attention to that sub and the Internet Archive doesn't seem to work with quarantined subreddits
