Discord bans Reddit-linked pro-Trump server tied to attack on the U.S. Capitol

We're all judged by the company we keep. 

With that adage seemingly in mind, Discord moved Friday to ban a pro-Donald Trump server from its platform. TheDonald, as the server was titled, allowed likeminded individuals to digitally gather and was directly linked the recently banned r/DonaldTrump subreddit and a separate discussion forum, thedonald.win. 

Following the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol building by pro-Trump extremists, an action which led to five deaths, Reddit banned the r/DonaldTrump subreddit for "inciting violence." Thedonald.win, itself an offshoot of a previously banned subreddit r/The_Donald, was likewise home to numerous calls for violence.  Read more...

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
