oh, that was serious, Sam Hyde being responsible for lots of shootings and getting away with it is an in-joke within the community

its a community based around a comedy group with Sam Hyde and a few others, most prominently the Adult Swim series World Peace, which got shut down following Sam Hyde bringing a bit of alt-right politics into the show. The subreddit and any attempts at ban evasion (including many private subs) have been banned and there is an active voat community. I don't use voat but from what I've heard the subreddit was full of quality memes and some other alt-right things (books mentioned on sub), with it getting shut down for "~ in minecraft" shitposting

Calling it "attempts at ban evasion" is an overstatement. That was mostly a ploy by reddit fagmins to axe out literally anything remotely tangential to MDE-fan discourse.

Grilling and fishing themed subreddits (r/millioncommonbream) were getting created and banned months long after r/MDE got banned, and I remember seeing them, from birth to death, solely populated with boomer-tier memes. No serious discussion at all.

And, of course, there were the subreddits that existed well before r/MDE got banned, and were banned for "ban evasion", despite - yet again - having entirely separate focuses from r/MDE, and only sharing the same like-minded users.

yeah I experienced this firsthand with r/MillionDollarCraft, a place for discussing the MDE minecraft server while avoiding being a general meme sub, still got banned off reddit (and also got attacked by protectvoat, gamers rise up)

by "attempts at ban evasion" I meant BillionShekelSupreme etc. as well as DecillionPoundBeam(private sub.) there is one I'm still on that has somehow lasted 4 months

BillionShekelSupreme

Reddit's best-ever sub, after r/jailbait, IMO
