My second statement answers that question. I don't want moderation advice from someone who was involved in a platform that purposely sets moderation policies to create political polarization. A comment by someone below sums it up nicely.
> ...and it's triply not true on yishan's reddit which both through administrative measures and moderation culture targets any and all communities that do not share the favoured new-left politics.
In yishan's defense however, I am not sure if those problems with reddit started before or after he left.
Citation needed. r/ChapoTrapHouse was banned, and there's many large alt-right subreddits in existence right now that haven't been banned (like r/tucker_carlson).
I don't have a reddit account, I just lurk without logging in. All the subreddits on the front page, which I assume are the default subreddits, sway the same way politically. Try commenting on r/news, r/worldnews, r/science or any of the front page subreddits with anything that doesn't match the party narrative and see how fast you get banned.
There are people on the far-left that say the same thing. Everyone with unhinged extremist views feels this way. That feeling by itself isn't data in support of the claim.
I am talking about any disagreement from the party line getting you banned, not "unhinged extremist views". The fact that you call it that highlights my initial point about political polarization very well. There are definitely subreddits on the other side of the political spectrum which also do the same thing. Point here is that the front page/default subreddits are curated with a clear politcal slant.
