[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am active on Reddit and a moderate conservative.
I would like to participate in civil discussion in our local subreddits, but it's seems to me that those reddits are VERY unwelcome to any opinion that can be considered "conservative".
Of course I have never made any post that can be considered as "hateful" etc. 
In best case you just get attacked, painted as a "Trumpist" and downvoted to oblivion.
In the worst case you are banned by mods (I got banned from r/nova because the mods thought I am a "troll")

Since Reddit is a major platform for (political) discussion, how does this relate to free speech rights?[/quote]
The beauty of Reddit is that you an start your on subreddit. Why not try that instead of complaining?[/quote]

Reddit is overwhelmingly left wing in posters and content. I read the politics forum a ton and see how liberal all the commenters are. However, when I do read the conservative subreddit I note how insane a lot of them are. They deny trump is bad for taking home too secret files.

I am a moderate myself, whatever that means, but I can also recognize that Reddit skews liberal progressive, probably just because it’s full of mostly sub 40 years old posters.[/quote]
