Reddit has banned hundreds of subreddits after a major rewrite of its content rules, the site announced on Monday. The newly banned subreddits include /r/The_Donald, a leading forum for fans of the president. Reddit also banned /r/ChapoTrapHouse—a subreddit dedicated to the popular left-wing podcast.

The bans are the latest signs of how much Reddit's content-moderation policy has evolved. Until 2015, the site hosted openly racist subreddits. But like Twitter and other social media sites, Reddit has adopted increasingly strict policies against hosting hate speech.
