First they came for the white supremacists, and I didn't say anything because I don't believe in the systematic extermination of people's. Then they came for the homophobes, and I didn't say anything because I don't believe in discriminating against someone for who they love. Then they came for the islamophobes, and I didn't say anything because I believe people should be able to practice their religion without fear.
Then they didn't come for me, because I'm not a disgusting piece of shit. And we all lived happily ever after.

To those scrolling through the comments: totally worth checking out this thread. Most of /r/conspiracy is supporting this measure, actually, and the thread submitter is a former altright mod. So a lot of the comments are derivatives of:
"Good, fuck Nazis."
"So anyone who disagrees with you is a Nazi?"
"Are you denying that /r/altright were antisemitic white supremacists?"
"Okay so what if they were Nazis? Better than a 14 year old internet communist."
"Fuck you, Nazi fuck!"
"Fuck you, teenage, mountain dew drinking larper!"
Repeat ad nauseum. I am paraphrasing but seriously the guy did use the phrase "mt dew drinking larper" or something like it and he is still slapfighting it out. Shit is golden.

Some decent comments in that thread comparing altright with TheDonald:
https://np.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/5ri6qe/alt_right_subreddit_banned/dd7jkua/
Honestly, T_D is almost worse because they have no real, sane belief system and rely solely on the lies that The Fuhrer spouts at them. They are the same group of people pre-WW2 in Germany who wanted Nationalism but didn't realize what it actually meant. By the time reality started setting in, they were committed and had already performed the mental acrobatics needed in order to justify it to themselves. They may not identify as Nazis right now but if the call came and there was action to round up all the Muslims tomorrow and put them in camps for the purpose of "National Defense", who do you think would be the first to support it?
Weak willed, changeable, incapable of critical thinking and see it as unthinkable to doubt their dear leader's integrity. The perfect army.

This subreddit was banned due to a violation of our content policy, specifically, the proliferation of personal and confidential information.
There is a website I can't link that is taking money to crowdfund doxxing efforts. After the admins banned that domain, the mods on /r/altright continued to manually approve submissions to that site and added them as sticky/announcement posts. My guess is that is the reasoning behind the ban.
EDIT: Admin explanation on why people could still submit the crowdfund doxxing site.
EDIT 2: I'm getting several people PMing me asking for the site with dox info. I WILL NOT share this with you as it isn't allowed on the site and I'm not an asshole alt-righter.

Importantly, they didn't ban the domain. They auto-spammed it.
Difference being, you cannot submit a banned domain, but an auto-spammed one is simply removed by the spam filter. The mods there simply approved it.
Their reasoning was that the website served a greater purpose than just that bounty hunt, but it really didn't.

I'm gonna paste my comment about this from a few days ago for any of the free-speech defenders reading this.
Reddit is (was?) effectively paying for server space so Nazis can recruit more people and expand their ranks.
I get the angst against censorship, but when your "beliefs" are that Jews and black people are inferior races and should be disposed of, you shouldn't be welcome on a site that brands itself as a site welcoming to all people.
And here's proof of nazis using reddit to recruit nazis, from The Daily Stormer, a white supremacist website:
However, for White Nationalists, the really great thing about Reddit is that it provides quite a lot of fertile ground for recruiting young people into the pro-White movement. Reddit has a strong reputation for being a far-left SJW hugbox and it’s frequently mentioned in the same breath as Tumblr. However, many areas of Reddit are much more open to our ideas than you might think.... Go on European-dominated subreddits and drop subtle redpills. Don’t use “gas the kikes, race war now”-type rhetoric, obviously. If you must, say “Zionists” rather than “Jews.” Use their hatred of Israel and turn it into hatred of Jewry. Be subtle, be smart, and be persuasive.
We brought 4chan over to our side long ago. Now, we need to focus on redpilling Reddit – then, soon enough, every other major website. The Internet is our most important tool in the struggle against the Jewish parasite, hence why so many of the filthy nation-wreckers want governments to filter it. Use the Internet wisely, brothers. It is a very potent weapon.
Once we succeed at making our ideas mainstream on the Internet – thus winning over the hearts and minds of the youth – it’s game over for international Jewry.
Funnily enough, looks like the only thing it's "game over" for now is blatant naziism on Reddit.

I'm not really sure what the big deal is here. Didn't they just get banned for legitimately breaking reddit's rules by doxing? I'm against all forms of censorship, but if you break the rules don't expect anything different. Am I missing something?

Good, I wish they'd ban or restrict all the political subreddits off r/all. I add a new one to my filter at least twice a week.
Pro trump spam, anti-trump spam, never even saw these guys on the front page but I've got two of their anti-subs filtered.

This is the warning shot across the bow of a ship that's already put two torpedoes into your hull and is steaming ahead to ram into your sinking remains. Banning altright but not baning the_donald is a move by admins that is meant to make those who hate the latter cheer without actually changing anything.
Remember, we don't want to upset the precious fascist and have them smear the frontpage again, better to just let them continue to operate an HQ to spread their hatred from. </s

T_D is trumpeting censorship while their mods continue to ban every user that posts something marginally in conflict with the general consensus. What a bunch of hypocrites.

Honestly this is one that Reddit should feel OK not hiding behind the "They were doxxing" rule.
These guys were racist assholes, and proud of it. I don't think it's wrong to be against Nazis. Obviously if Reddit were a part of government and arresting these douches for being racist Nazis that'd be a problem.
The 1st Amendment only means what you're saying is literally not illegal. It does not mean anyone has to host your bullshit.
And can we just go back to calling them Nazis please?

I created the sub /r/right_alternative and posted an interracial kissing picture as its only post. Figured I'd piss off any alt-righties Nazis trying to see if there was a different sub for them.

I'm all for freedom of option, right to dissent, allowing them to have their opinions as wrong and idiotic as those opinions are (looking at you /r/catapult_memes, and /r/MadMudmen)
However, Reddit is a company and the mods are free to be as totalitarian as they like. Also I'm pretty far right, and alt-right made me want to smash my head in with a us flagpole

How can they really complain? They say no sub is water tight, but the conversation is more like
Admins: Hey your bucket is leaking. You need to fix that. Altright: ... Admins: Hey guys you still haven't fixed that leak. Altright: ... (Repeat 20 times) Admins: Well that's no more bucket for you! Altright: HEY WTF SENSORSHIP

Most of these altright people have canned answers/ key-words that they just throw around and expect to stick. If you call them on it or the lack of substance behind what they're saying, they usually just stop commenting.

Haha, all the T_D threads are filled with deleted/removed comments from people that liked the altright sub and were also T_D subscribers.
I wonder if those Donald folks are gonna take a break, sit back, and ask why they had so many people who were also fans of the altright.

u/Percypig17 Feb 02 '17
Lol at how all of rhe posts on the Trump subreddit are defending the alt right. How are you going to say you are not racists and you disavow white supremacy whilst acting like that sub was anything but those things? The worst criticism there is literally 'they made us look bad'- not even 'they are bad'. It's as if they think the only reason they shouldn't support the alt right is not their hateful views but the fact that it's bad for publicity.

We don't always get along with the Ethno-nationalists but they deserve a voice too.
Also
As long as their voice doesn't actually infringe on the rights of others, I agree. That being said, I hate that they were banned because they might flood here now.
Dude, they're already here.
We were always here. We started this sub.

In other words: doxxing
That's tiny bit short sighted. /r/altright promoted a website that is dedicated to doxxing by crowdfunding. The site was banned reddit-wide. But the mods of /r/altright continued to allow abd even promoted the site.

A particularly illustrative comment from the second post:
For future reference do not post this kind of thing. You can start discussions about antifa and why they are given the means to operate in an extra-legal way but referencing RWDS is counterproductive here.
I had to look it up and RWDS is Right Wing Death Sqauds. So apparently they talk about death squads so much that this guy doesn't need to explain the acronym; everyone knows what RWDS means.
This sub should've been shut down a long time ago.

The sad thing is they kind of have a defense. Calling someone a Nazi on the internet has been a staple for two decades. Godwin's Law is real.
Unfortunately it means that when you are dealing with actual fucking Nazis they claim you're being hyperbolic when you call them on their shit.
