The 2020 Reddit's Quarantine Policy Update meme documents the significant shift in Reddit's content moderation strategy that led to the banning of thousands of subreddits simultaneously. This move was part of a larger effort to curb hate speech and harassment, targeting high-profile communities like r/The_Donald and r/ChapoTrapHouse. The meme serves as a cultural marker for the 'Great Purge,' often used by users to express frustration with administrative decisions or to joke about the sudden disappearance of controversial online spaces. It captures a pivotal moment in internet history where platform governance collided with the previously unmoderated nature of early social media forums.
