Anyone tried to discuss politics on r/politics?

It doesn't matter how thoughtful or measured your posts are, if they detect even a smidgen of non-leftist thinking, they downvote you so fast your account is throttled (have to wait 9 minutes in between posts).

Once again, great job promoting free exchange of ideas, lefties.

I’ve had many accounts banned there but my most recent account has been able to last for a few months

I probably have the lowest karma in that sub for it’s history

I'm not a masochist, so no. There are good subs on reddit but none are popular.

They've got people getting upvoted for saying Ngo deserved to get beaten, while I get downvoted for saying isn't it a little fascist to assault people you disagree with?

I dunno man, r/gonewild and r/biggerthanyouthought are pretty damn popular.

In case anyone needs it spelled out, reddit is only good for amateur porn. Other than that it's hive mentality or bust.

I like /r/new_right, /r/Dark_Enlightment, /r/Anarcho_Capitalism, and due to being a sick frick, /r/WTF. There are probably some Christian subs that are decent, but I can find that content elsewhere.

Why would you even give that sub clicks or views. Just ignore it

The most close-minded people I've ever met are self professed "open-minded" liberals.

Sounds like this place, only on the opposite extreme.

Your posting privileges here are throttled down based on downvotes? If only.

I wouldn’t care about the downvotes if they didn’t throttle my account.

The thing is, viewable posts here are not determined by voting ratio. If they were, then you might have a point.

Nor are your posts deleted or your account blocked after expressing a differing point of view.

It's impossible to discuss politics there. Too many lib bots and lib admins.

That place is disgusting. And Reddit.com loves it.

The Donald? Quarantined.

Politics? Suggested often in my feed

So you've never been there? Because both of these things have happened to me.

My post was referring to TD not reddit.
