But did they unquarantine the sub?

So the sub in question is the infamous The_Donald, in case that wasn't known. I was never big into that community, but I was subscribed and it was kind of a hilarious place. Everyone hated it, and that made it even funnier.

Some months after the quarantine, the Reddit admins wanted to install a panel of mods of their own choosing, and the subreddit mods rejected this. Instead, they locked the sub from any new posts, mod-approved posts only. This was effectively the death of it, and the community migrated to their own site off reddit.

Now, it was just "banned" with great fanfare after being silent for months. It's the first one listed in all the news articles about the ban wave. Wow, so brave, Reddit!

Ah, yeah. I never followed that sub but I did follow the news about it. Their reason for banning the sub was hilarious given there hadn't been any new posts or comments in it for months.
