/r/politics does not outright run itself as a safe space for a particular group though, unlike /r/the_donald. Any criticism on /r/the_donald gets you a ban, whereas any criticism on /r/politics just gets you downvotes, which are entirely consistent with how the sub should be run.
- KekDemaga 9y agoI'd argue that being forth right is a better approach. While they won't often ban on politics they do enforce a timeout when your comment gets down voted having a similar effect.
- komali2 9y agoThat's how the website works, that's not anything particular about the /r/politics mods.
- KekDemaga 9y agoIts actually a feature you can turn on and off as a moderator.
- SquareWheel 9y agoAre you talking about spam filter settings? Otherwise no, such a setting does not exist.
- koverda 9y agoit's not just /r/the_donald that has that no criticism rule. I recently noticed that r/latestagecapitalism has that same rule. The number of subreddits where dissenting opinions are not allowed appears to be growing.
- taylorswift_ 9y agonot true, anything even remotely considered anti-hillary or pro-trump gets you banned on r/politics, it's just as extreme as TD.
- nextlevelwizard 9y agoThere are dozes of anti trump subreddits which will ban you for not conforming. It's same with most if not all ideologically driven subreddits. They always have not pinned "go to r/<our-ideology>Debate if you are not conforming" type thing. To me every one of these echo chamber subreddits should be prevented from appearing on r/all (which is how people get exposed to these subreddits most often)
