> That's why everyone should subscribe to at least two subreddits they don't agree with. Certain subs will automatically ban you if you ever participate in another sub mods of the former sub do not like. r_offmychest will automatically ban you at the first comment for instance. This very thing does prevent good faith people from participating in subs that are antagonistic. It's against reddit rules but admins do no care. Admins do not care about brigading either (a sub encouraging the harassment of another sub or person), unless some specific subs/users are victim. r_ch* p* tr* ph* * s* regularly engaged in the bullying of users and subs until they attacked the wrong person and got quarantined. I don't care what the rules are, only that they are enforced very differently depending on who violates them and who is the victim.

>Certain subs will automatically ban you if you ever participate in another sub mods of the former sub do not like. That happened to me a lot. I posted semi-regularly in r/fatpeoplehate about personal health. I posted quite regularly in /r/the_donald, because I like to correct common misconceptions about how Europe works (like Denmark NOT being socialst, no matter what Sanders says). Finally, I got temp banned for using the word "faggot" in the wrong sub. Despite not being directed at anyone, and being obvious satire. That was the day I was done with Reddit. They do not want people where who go against the politically correct group think. So except for HN, I don't know where to go to pointlessly argue with people on the internet. Voat started out okay I think, but it has become too "endlösung" for me.

I'll admit I don't really understand the practice of censoring things that aren't clearly swear words from context, but in this case you've censored it so much (and I suspect thrown in spaces so Hacker News doesn't italicize bits of it) that I really have no idea what you're talking about.

  I frequently read the specific sub he censored, and even I could not decipher the name initially. The sub is chapotraphouse, based upon the podcast of the same name. I've never listened to the podcast, I tried once and within a few minutes found it obnoxious. As somebody interested in political theory/history/whatever label you want to apply to "the study of power structures", I often find the perspective of the sub interesting, and can usually be summed up as "21st century communists in America".
