They also label most discussions now as "Flaired users only!" and to get flair you have to prove you're a conservative.
It's not about free speech and being oppressed, it's a literal safe space - which is fine, but selling themselves as the opposite of that just makes them look foolish.

To be clear, /r/conservative forces potential commenters to hold interviews with current members to vet their ideological purity. If at any point they flip-flop on an issue they will ban you for ideological impurity if you do not flip-flop your position accordingly. It may well be the most heavily censored board on Reddit.

Other subreddits have started to do this too, r/BlackPeopleTwitter has "Country Club Threads" where you can only comment if you've proven to the mod team that you are a person of color, which is.. interesting.

Don't just take a claim like this as the whole story, they are generally in "tidied up" form.
You'd want the text of the post, the person's posting history on the forum in question, a list of warnings etc and a copy of the forum rules to even approach a reasonable judgement.
