Welcome! When you get banned for wrong-think, at least you already have an account here! I hope you find it a great place to speak freely without the thought police breathing down your neck. We ain't got much non-political stuff, but I hope we'll get more as more people sign up.

You should really stop using Chinacord and move to Matrix (Element is the best client). If you're wondering, yes, China partially owns Reddit too. If you ever wondered why Discord and Reddit banned r/theDonald... that's why; they got an order from Bejing.

Source? Or is it just speculation?

The last 2 links mentioned nothing about China or an order from Beijing. The first and second links did not mention The_Donald.

Read them the other way around.

Yes, The_Donald was banned after Tencent invested in them (to be specific, reddit banned /r/The_Donald about a year after the investment, and Discord banned The_Donald about 2 years after the investment). However, I don't think you can necessarily tell if China was actually involved in the bans if you were to judge by the given articles alone.
