The moderation is hyper partisan on all sides. Not just the left.
I’ve had accounts banned along the the entire ecosystem of libertarians solely for the audacity of asserting that there were people who described themselves as socialist libertarians, and not declaring that there were five lights and that the philosophy did not exist.
The admins don’t care unless it hurts advertising dollars. Reddits leadership has been very consistent on this practice ever since the early days like with u/violentacrez and the jailbait subreddit
- castlecrasher2 2y ago>The moderation is hyper partisan on all sides. Not just the left. It is absolutely just the left. The right-leaning spaces, even /r/conservative, do not ban for "wrongthink" unless it is accompanied with obvious contempt or hostility. Conversely, you'll be banned from a number of subreddits simply for posting in /r/conservative or other labeled-right-leaning subreddits.
- Gunax 2y agoWell I am banned from /r/libertarian for wrong think. I didn't know about other subreddits though.
- cosmicgadget 2y ago90% of /r/conservative's posts only allow flaired users (verified conservatives). There is an ongoing foodfight about verified users expressing neocon ideas like supporting Ukraine. I don't have any recent information on pre-emptive bans, but years ago /r/conservative had a particular mod (I won't name) who did just that.
- DrillShopper 2y agoGo on to Truth Social and post "f*ck Trump" and see how long until you're banned. Do the same on Twitter (or call someone cisgender) and see how long until you're banned. (Spoiler alert - I have done both and have been banned as a result)
- nailer 2y agoI think the point is we don’t want Reddit to become hyper-partisan like truth or bluesky.
- lovich 2y agoNah, I think the point is someone wants to make a obviously false statement out loud to push the Overton window. If you(the general you, not you in particular /nailer)disagree with me, then please explain how any casual observation of the subreddit r/conservative lets someone state that the subreddit does not engage in censorship or banning for wrong think, and with the critical caveat that I will not accept the moderators of r/conservatives statement’s that they don’t engage in censorship as proof on its own
- techpineapple 2y agoOk, look liberals can be bad in building echo chambers, fine, but literally like 3 days ago on /r/conservative there was a post asking if it was ok to disagree with the mainstream of /r/conservative because so many conservative posts were getting removed. A casual reading of /r/conservative shows like 100s of deleted comments on every thread. And don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they have a huge brigading problem, again it’s not limited to /r/conservative, but /r/conservative is a laughable example. /r/Republican and /r/Trump are better examples even.
- hasbot 2y ago/r/conservative absolutely bans people that make too many anti-conservative comments.
- nailer 2y agoYes but r movies doesn’t.
- lovich 2y agoI literally gave you an example of being removed from right wing spaces for wrong think. They wanted me to pretend a group of people didn’t and never existed or I couldn’t participate. It’s not subtle at all either. How can you think it’s only the left?
- immibis 2y agoThis comment is incongruent with base reality. You get banned from /r/conservative for disagreeing with Donald Trump on anything and 90% of the time you can only comment if they've verified that you only commented conservatively in the past.
