> Politics is fine

it really isn't. it's bottom-quality content, everyone can have an opinion about politics, it's too easy. Every subreddit > 100000 has a politics problem because people have now been conditioned to see politics everywhere. It takes effort to keep things topical. And then, even the politics subreddits themselves are completely confused, e.g. r/libertarian is a mostly socialist sub now.

/r/libertarian becoming socialist is not confused at all. It's been made to welcome libertarian socialists for a long while now, explicitly, and libertarian socialism itself has a very long tradition.

I've been banned from a subreddit because I said Trump did some good things basically. Mod called me a nazi and silenced me after my appeal for 30 days.

Not surprising when the libertarian candidates run on own borders and government enforced equality for the identity politic cultists.
