Thank you derram, I'm a tech noob so only know how to do basic research and links.. :/ here's another by the same journalist from 5 days ago, I emailed him about the subreddits mentioned in his article , I don't think hes aware that the pizzagate reddit was taken down 30 minutes after that article from today was published , and I didn't mention it.

Moderators of pro-Trump Reddit group linked to fake news crack down on posts | Technology | The Guardian

'Many have focused on the role of Facebook, which recently announced that it was acting to address its fake news problem. '

'One of the web’s most virulent incubators of fake news stories about the US election has begun a crackdown on conspiracy theories and “outlandish or unverified claims”. '

'Though the post on r/the_donald suggests its moderators want to limit the amount of unverified content in that particular group, the moderators are clear they are not objecting to it being hosted elsewhere on Reddit. '

'But sites such as Reddit often play a key role in seeding stories that find a larger audience on other social networks. '

'Trump himself has taken the sub-Reddit seriously, hosting an Ask Me Anything session for its users in July during which he answered 13 questions. '
