Reddit shuts down 'alt-right' subreddit

[BoomerFan]

Kind of unrelated but I understand that mods on two similarly minded subs on reddit (r/KotakuInAction and another one which I'll just call PPD because a gentleman doesn't use such language) made claims that they were being blackmailed by "SJWs" who were threatening to dox them. After being pressed they retracted the claims stating it was just a "prank" they planned a week ago. Of course their followers are imagining all manner of conspiracy where even the retraction is a lie. You can read about it on https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/ . It does tie in to the aspect of some people on reddit probably needing to be on medication of some sort.
