I mean, all the Apple communities are shitting on this. Go look at the comment threads on the article and other Mac enthusiast blogs.

Well, not the ultimate Apple circlejerk, r/apple.

That’s more a reflection of the mods. The mods are locking and or deleting Apple - Trump posts. Try posting and see for yourself.

Oh yes I've seen it millions of times over the last 15 years.

Yeah, the mods of that sub are pretty bad. They remove everything, even mundane stuff that all other Apple communities report on. They often remove posts that are not in violation of the established community rules.

This is normal on reddit. Want to get banned? Ask a mod what rule you broke. They won't even reply.

It rubs off on the users too. Anything not absolutely fellating Tim Apple is downvoted to oblivion.

[–] simplejack 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I generally find that community basically downvotes almost everything. They’d downvote a picture of their own mom because they already know what she looks like. Getting any story out of /new is hard in that place. There are a lot of angry people there.

I was looking at it and people were downvoting comments criticizing criminals. Wtf...

I honestly think that the mods of that subreddit are employees. r/lego is another one where I think that the mod team is all owned by the company
