Reddit did a huge purge of conservatives in the past couple years (2020 especially). You will have to go somewhere else if you truly want a conservative viewpoint.
- wffurr 6y agoITYM they banned people for posting content encouraging violence and harassment, violating the terms of service. It just so happened that some large conservative subs were engaging in that behavior. Curious, isn't it?
- loonster 6y agoThey banned quite a but more than that. * Bans for mentioning a news article that mentioned the site of Hunter Biden's laptop leak. * Bans for disagreeing with the mask policies. * Bans for posting COVID-19 studies that are different than what is mainstream. * Bans for posting articles of a politician that is also an admin. * Bans for discussing election fraud. * Bans for upvoting content. The place has turned toxic.
- mavhc 6y agoNot really a great advert for the intellectual heft of the right wing
- watwut 6y agoThat is not true. There are conservative subs. And in the same purges, let leading subs were closed for the similar issues. You however don't hear complaining on HR when leftist subs are closed.
- loonster 6y agoIt's not the subs, it the individual users that were purged the most. Some for the most grievous sin of upvoting wrongthink.
