[[File:Braincels banned.png|thumb|right|The subreddit on September 30th 2019.]] | |||
r/Braincels was banned from Reddit on September 30th 2019 for "posting of content that harasses or bullies." [[Master]], who was hired as a mod on the subreddit a month before the ban, received a message notifying him of the closing. The message said that the creation of new subreddits to evade the ban was not allowed and that the content on Braincels was "materially incompatible" with new rules Reddit admins created for the purpose of shutting down subreddits that didn't align with their ideology. | r/Braincels was banned from Reddit on September 30th 2019 for "posting of content that harasses or bullies."

Various external forums such as [[incels.co]] and [[incelistan.net]] welcomed [[Braincels]] refugees, but a second mass exodus to external forums is unlikely as r/Braincels users already knew the existence of these external forums, and r/Braincels was never really much of a solid community at any point in time. In the last few months of its existence, the subreddit was increasingly populated by [[alt-right]] types, people who bully feminine looking men, and culture warriors. | Various external forums such as [[incels.co]] and [[incelistan.net]] welcomed [[Braincels]] refugees, but a second mass exodus to external forums is unlikely as r/Braincels users already knew the existence of these external forums, and r/Braincels was never really much of a solid community at any point in time.
