Do you have any concrete examples of this? I won't pretend I'm up to speed on the subject but this just strikes me as incredibly heavily exaggerated.
- encom 6y agoI just had a look at /r/reclassified and saw that /r/GavinMcInnes has been banned. He's a conservative talkshow host. While I was still around, /r/ClownWorld and /r/CringeAnarchy got banned too. Both were critical of extreme leftwing politics, while being politically incorrent. /r/SargonOfAkkad is quarantined, meaning it's circling the drain before being banned. Actually just browsing /r/reclassified sorted by top posts brings up a lot of examples. It's not all political of course, there are literal CP subs getting axed like /r/AgePlayPenpals, but banned subreddits are overwhelmingly either conservative, anti-feminist or edgy or equivalent.

- htfu 6y agoI hope you realize your personal Overton window will appear to many, here and elsewhere, as more of a slanted slit. Angela Merkel is a right-leaning centrist where I'm from. I'll leave it at that.
