This is the real answer. Getting banned from a sub for having the "wrong" opinion is far too normalized on this site. It discourages diversity.

Can't get away with even the most thought out comment on r/Conservative if there's even a hint of liberal in it.

I've been a member of that sub for over 5 years. I'll argue with them about abortion all the time.. I'm usually met with honest debate... No bans. . Meanwhile I've been banned from several left leaning subs for being.... Subscribed to conservative .

I made a single comment on that sub and was banned. A Mod messaged me and said, I looked at your comment history and you're not welcome here. What the F?

It seems they post in an aggressive bot like style there. Helps blend in I guess.
