r/The_Donald was the pro-Trump subreddit banned by Reddit in 2020 after a documented history that included antisemitic content. In 2020 the opening said the subreddit had "a lengthy documented history of hosting conspiracy theories and content that was racist, misogynistic, islamophobic, and antisemitic." Today the opening covers the subreddit's founding, size and ban with no mention of antisemitic content, and antisemitism appears zero times in the opening though it survives ten times in the article. A reader today learns the subreddit was banned for harassment and targeting, and not that it had a documented history of antisemitic content.
