All the communist subreddits are in constant hot water with the admins. They banned ChapoTrapHouse when it was one of the biggest subreddits. When a bunch of moderators tried to protest against reddit hosting antivax content, the admins took control over those subreddits.

So no, you're just factually wrong here.

Yet, the biggest communist sub of all, r/politics is doing perfectly fine.

"moderating behavior"? Bullshit, when unhinged redditors are constantly accusing conservatives of being "traitors", "nazis", there is so much unhinged comments on these subs that it clearly demonstrate a general left wing bias when it comes to moderation, in favor of the most extreme left.

Chapotraphouse was only banned because they harassed the wrong sub, but when it was about harassing people on subs deemed not progressives, reddit admins didn't care a bit.

... you ever try and post anything in /r/conservative? you get banned. Doesn't matter if you are quoting something president Trump had said 1000 times before. You get banned. You can't even quote them back to themselves, or ask them a question. You get banned.

Persecution fetish much buddy?

It seems that some unhinged people here can't help making everything about their sick sexual thrills. And I'm not your buddy.

r/politics is “communist”? That’s… just a really dumb take. If there is a far-left presence on Reddit, it is not prominent. r/politics is left-leaning and angry, but, objectively speaking, not really all that extreme.

And, for what it’s worth, it seems perfectly reasonable to label those who tried to overthrow our democratic government “traitors”.

Obviously, none of the affluent idiots from chapo or at hexbear controlling r/politics r/news or r/worldnews are really communists, they are just rich asshats that just pretend to be, my point still stands. They are still spouting marxist non sense, violent speech, and their behavior isn't moderated, as long as they don't target "the wrong people".

This kind of sentiment always shows up in this kind of thread; I think a lot of people don't really grok that being far enough to one side causes an unbiased forum to appear biased against you. If you hate X enough, Reddit and Twitter are going to seem pro-X, regardless of what X is.

(And, separately, almost no one who argues about anything being "communist" is using the same definition of that word as the person they're arguing with, but that's a different problem entirely)

Well at least you're mask-off in regards to being bad faith.

And you have no arguments, so you can only resort to personal attacks. That makes you a troll.
