You're not a conservative.
Why are you so concerned about participation criteria for the conservative subreddit, one of the only distinctly right wing places on the whole platform?

And clearly this has been a discussion on that angle, rather than an answer to the rhetorical question above.
How do you know the question was rhetorical?
Which, to be fair, is not unlike how the GOP has been operating over the last few years.
You can get banned for posting traditional conservative opinions there if they go against the message the mods want to allow, even if it’s conservative.
Don’t be tricked into thinking it’s some conservative safe space. It’s a propaganda outlet for the mods who ban even conservatives if they don’t toe the line and agree with the mods.
The user raises concern that a right leaning forum has right leaning filters but fails to mention you see that with some left leaning forums. Based on the shock this person has never visited a left subreddit. Does that mean he is right leaning? Or does this person seek out a right subreddit because they are doing research?
I would guess research because the shock tells us he doesn't visit these places often and he doesn't visit more conservative places lile truth social because they censor at a higher rate.
There is my reasoning. You're challenge is to disprove this.
Saying "you are not a conservative" (not you but the comment you chose to defend) when you can't possibly know that is a ridiculous argument to make.
I gave my best answer with logical points. What is yours? This is a process law enforcement goes through when moving from unknown to known. I like my theory but I am open to others that may conflict.
I read all the same comments you did, and i didn't reach any particular conclusion about the person's politics. Your case is incredibly contrived, imo. A conservative who attempts to use a conservative forum and has a bad experience would have every right to talk about it. Why wouldn't they?
The point here being that it is hardly relevant how a subreddit specifically and explicitely for conservatives is moderated, when we are talking how mainstream subreddits are censoring conservative opinions.
Many grievances appear to be liberals concerning themselves with how /r/conservative is moderated, most likely after being banned for astroturfing there.
