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 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
