I was banned from subreddits for belonging to r/conservative. Mods wanted me to disavow that subreddit to atone for the sin of belonging to that subreddit.
Hell there were even multiple political sub moderator purges that were right out in the open. Entire mod lists changing over night in multiple subs even way back.
There was a major left / liberal takeover of most of the subs when Trump was being re elected
Reddit took action in March 5, 2026 to stop that practice.

There is a policy of ideological gatekeeping by certain Moderators.
no it bans you for not having a conservative viewpoint, that's completely different from wanting you
