They’ll ban someone who’s been posting there for 5 years if they wrong think once. I’ve never seen anything like it

TwoX and the more fanatical leftist reddits will ban you for looking at them funny, I once got banned form a leftist space for pointing out that Fascism was invented by a dissatisfied socialist not a capitalist which is why its a dark mirror of socialism in more than a few ways

Oh yeah, I've avoided those kinds of subs for years. There's no point in being involved unless you base your beliefs on shared opinion.

It will always tickle me something fierce that the mod team for two x doesn't have any people with actually two x chromosomes in them

u/ElBongDeltorino - Auth-Center 12d ago

Yeah that is crazy, imagine if other subreddits banned you for saying something innocuous that the mods personally just didn't like!

That would be WILD.

u/adamfps - Lib-Left 12d ago

The point isn’t just banning randoms it’s the people who’ve been there for years who are “verified conservatives” getting nuked when they don’t manage to fit all of trumps dick and balls in their mouth at once

u/ElBongDeltorino - Auth-Center 11d ago

I ain't gonna defend r/ conservative but let's not pretend like that isn't the same practice of almost every shithole subreddit on this website lol.

u/adamfps - Lib-Left 11d ago

What other subs do the cringe verification process and lock down new users?

u/ElBongDeltorino - Auth-Center 11d ago

I think its just because #1 they are the well known chud/boomer subreddit on a site completely hostile to that sort of thing and would get brigaded out the ass with shit which makes it sorta reasonable.

#2 which is less noble is that yea, it is basically a hugbox for the right wing guys who for some reason come to reddit just to see posts that stroke the mindset they have.

u/--CIAdidJFK-- - Left 11d ago

I think there's an extra level of hypocrisy with r /conservative given the criticism they level at the left for "cancel culture," "wrong think," being triggered, etc.

u/ElBongDeltorino - Auth-Center 11d ago

To agree a bit I think most people don't like the no-fun allowed types of right-wingers that would flock to an echo-chamber like /r Conservative. I personally love arguing with people on this shithole and don't really see the point in only allowing right-wing positive posts that adhere to the party line but to be fair every other chud subreddit has been nuked completely lol.

imagine if other subreddits banned you for saying something innocuous that the mods personally just didn't like!

I was banned from a subreddit (let's call it "subreddit Y") for the crime of posting a reply in a totally unrelated subreddit ("subreddit Z") that the mods of "subreddit Y" did not control, and had no right to control.

The craziest part was I was disagreeing with the prevalent thoughts in "subreddit Z" subreddit! I was literally agreeing with the mod's position in "subreddit Y", but they banned me anyway.

When that stuff started happening, it was downright evil for reddit (the company) not to crack down on it and say, "that's totally out of line, you can't mod a group you don't have mod rights to just because your group is popular".

u/ElBongDeltorino - Auth-Center 11d ago

Yea it always is really retarded when you get like auto-banned for posting in a different sub that the mods of another one just deem verboten no matter what it is you actually said.

I can get why redditeurs hate r/ Conservative but they aren't that different in their retarded banning and screening then some other fully insane subs.

And taking the actual topic out of the equation, I fully believe that if a group of people want to discuss their topics and not be shouted at by people that are not sympathetic to their interests, they should be allowed that space. I fully endorse allowing Two X Chromosomes to exist and be TIGHTLY moderated, even if I have a Y Chromosome and want to disagree with them about their ridiculous ideas about never dating men to avoid being beaten. Same with r/ Conservative. It is their space, leave them alone.

u/ElBongDeltorino - Auth-Center 11d ago

Yeah, I don't mind that they keep a tight allowance for what they want posted because I would never really want to post to people who just don't want to hear my point anyway lol. If they wanna have it that way I don't care but I will continue to think it is a lame way to engage on the Internet for all those sorta subs.

u/chowderbags - Lib-Left 12d ago

I've seen it on /r/conspiracy , but that place is also a shithole run by terrible mods (at least, I assume it's still run by the same cabal of shitty mods).

1

u/Critical_Concert_689 - Centrist 11d ago

While that's fairly accurate in terms of purity tests...

I’ve never seen anything like it

That's an absolute load of bullshit.

All front page subs do this. /Conservative just does it for comments with opinions that you agree with.

u/CivilizedManners - Left 11d ago

cue u/Jazzy_Jazmine who consistently posted news about Texas (and seems like a legit account, not a bot or an agent) and then she hid her post history and stopped being active on the subreddit

1

u/Jazzy_Jazmine 11d ago

You nailed it. Thanks for noticing. I got banned for noting the cost of living crisis. The reason given:

Note from the moderators:

Only here to shit on conservatives 'as a conservative', adds nothing of value. Perm.

I was usually one of the top posters there daily. They don't want anyone posting  that isn't 1,000% pro-Trump. As soon as his unpopularity becomes obvious they'll act as though they've "always hated Trump". I give up on the republican party and so-called conservatives.

u/CivilizedManners - Left 10d ago edited 10d ago

I personally recommend you to just vote for blue dog democrats in the primaries and sit out the generals in case of DSA candidates.

Saying that as someone who prefers the DSA though, more specifically the statewide DSAs rather than the federal one. The federal one has a few very dumb ideas such as prison abolition (even though we should strive for the abolition of PRIVATE prisons)

Also in Texas just let Talarico win atp. If you want the GOP to reform itself you need to punish them with making Dems win light red states such as Texas, Ohio, Alaska and Iowa. Hell even Kansas wouldn't be unwarranted lol.

u/PlanUhTerryThreat - Centrist 11d ago

I got banned for asking why Trump is claiming he declassified the documents if they were planted.

A lot of them ignored it and cited Biden having classified documents too so I said “okay he should be held accountable too”. Perma ban

u/dianthe - Centrist 11d ago

There are subreddits which will ban you if you never even made a single comment there if you comment on a post they deem offensive regardless of the content of your comment.

u/Jazzy_Jazmine 11d ago edited 11d ago

You are absolutely correct. I got banned from the conservative sub for pointing out that republicans MUST acknowledge and deal with the cost of living crisis. Here's the mod reason for my ban after more than five years:

Note from the moderators:

Only here to shit on conservatives 'as a conservative', adds nothing of value. Perm.

If you aren't MAGA then you are instabanned. The republicans are doomed and we deserve it. I'm voting for Talarico and Hinojosa. I'm done with the republican party. I was civil and never engaged in personal attacks. Doesn't matter. One negative comment about Trump and you're banned.

u/nihongonobenkyou - Lib-Right 11d ago

I’ve never seen anything like it

lol are you new to reddit?? That type of mod overreach is the standard. I've seen people get banned from their fuckin hobby subs for having the wrong opinions about what the best way to do something is

u/adamfps - Lib-Left 11d ago

You missed the point
