tbh it's quite a sin to belong to that subreddit, might as well as just inject bleach and it's the same level of stupidity

It’s censorship

the sub that censors the rest of the reddit userbase gets censored by the rest of the reddit userbase, color me surprised

It wants you to have a conservative viewpoint. But it doesn't ban you if you join like say r/AdviceAnimals which 2 years ago many subreddits were taken over when Trump was running for office again. r/AdviceAnimals and others were banning those that were members of r/conservative.

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
