r/RedditCensors banned over…. bringing the bullying and authoritarianism to light that some mods dabble in? Wild.

A post in r/RedditCensors is what kicked it off I’m pretty certain, showcasing how a user was banned from WhitePeopleTwitter over correcting someone on the type of weapon that was used in a shooting or something like that. Within 24 hours, a bunch of people who had this post recommended to them (not even apart of the sub, mind you) who then left a comment, were also banned from WPT simply for association! Then as the subs goal, folks made posts showcasing the absolute hypocrisy of this site in which “everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying and threats of violence”… uh huh, anyway that sub is gone, wiped off the map, I wonder why.

Jesus. Does everything require an assignment to either liberal or conservative? The world is not black and white.

Shockingly, I’m sure, I’m both a bleeding heart liberal AND someone who believes in free speech!

Wild. I know.

Shocking only because it's become a rare thing, Bill Maher's commentary having highlighted it quite firmly.

But it's undeniable that reddit not only has a liberal bend to its leadership, but fosters an environment of actively excluding conservative voices.

Facts are not political.

Sadly they are when politics are the reason you disagree on what is and is not a fact.
