I always wondered what the actual population of that sub was, I felt like I saw some strange patterns where whole hordes of users would appear, disappear, mob another sub and so on. It felt like a very non organic community in many ways.
The issues surroundings that sub weren't just some folks who had a sub to talk to each other, they were very busy mobbing / taking over other subs and etc.
Like most of those subs that leaned right it seemed like a front for sort of a rabbit hole of fear, hate, open bigotry, and blatent calls for violence / division and etc.

Wouldn't that match the claims that it was largely just full of bots?
I think so. It certainly seed that way, the waves of new accounts was noticeable at times.
Even better when the more interactive new users would show up with strange language patterns / reading comprehensions patterns too would show up alongside them.... usually posting the same links some other 'users' posted months ago, those dissapeared a while back, but they were around for a while.
Reddit Admins posted this[0] list which had r/td at less than 8k daily active users before being shut down. I imagine that’s an order of magnitude below its peak.
https:// thedonald . win will probably get more new users after this, because many of the news articles talking about the ban are linking to them (either directly or indirectly)
