>The moderation is hyper partisan on all sides. Not just the left.

It is absolutely just the left. The right-leaning spaces, even /r/conservative, do not ban for "wrongthink" unless it is accompanied with obvious contempt or hostility. Conversely, you'll be banned from a number of subreddits simply for posting in /r/conservative or other labeled-right-leaning subreddits.

/r/conservative absolutely bans people that make too many anti-conservative comments.

Yes but r movies doesn’t.

90% of /r/conservative's posts only allow flaired users (verified conservatives). There is an ongoing foodfight about verified users expressing neocon ideas like supporting Ukraine.

I don't have any recent information on pre-emptive bans, but years ago /r/conservative had a particular mod (I won't name) who did just that.

Go on to Truth Social and post "f*ck Trump" and see how long until you're banned.

Do the same on Twitter (or call someone cisgender) and see how long until you're banned.

(Spoiler alert - I have done both and have been banned as a result)

I think the point is we don’t want Reddit to become hyper-partisan like truth or bluesky.

This comment is incongruent with base reality. You get banned from /r/conservative for disagreeing with Donald Trump on anything and 90% of the time you can only comment if they've verified that you only commented conservatively in the past.

I literally gave you an example of being removed from right wing spaces for wrong think. They wanted me to pretend a group of people didn’t and never existed or I couldn’t participate. It’s not subtle at all either. How can you think it’s only the left?

Well I am banned from /r/libertarian for wrong think. I didn't know about other subreddits though.

Ok, look liberals can be bad in building echo chambers, fine, but literally like 3 days ago on /r/conservative there was a post asking if it was ok to disagree with the mainstream of /r/conservative because so many conservative posts were getting removed. A casual reading of /r/conservative shows like 100s of deleted comments on every thread.

And don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they have a huge brigading problem, again it’s not limited to /r/conservative, but /r/conservative is a laughable example. /r/Republican and /r/Trump are better examples even.
