That was obviously their way of making sure we know they meant /r/the_donald without actually mentioning them by name.

They mentioned them specifically in the original announcement. I swear if the admins are direct, people complain, if they're not completely direct, people complain.

Also, you know, any future subs that ever try to do the horrendous bullshit spam that subreddit did.

In the announcing of filters on r/all. The gif they provided showed a user typing in r/donald into the filter bar.

Yeah they're not hiding it.

The funny thing is, those clever (yes, I said clever) bastards will just spinoff another sub and clog up /r/popular. Kinda funny, but idk why the admins even try.
