Could you be as kind as to point out where I'm _only_ taking issue with the moderation of other subreddits?
As you can see in my comment I'm merely listing a few examples.

You're listing several examples, including /r/conservative, yet even though this subreddit is widely known (on Reddit) to be a censored echo-chamber, you do not mention this aspect. I find it hard to believe, that this would be a coincidence.
From the HN guidelines:
> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith
Let's aim to keep HN better and more pleasant to use than Reddit;)
I did explain my reasoning. You coincidentally not mentioning /r/conservatives censorship practices, simply doesn't appear plausible, given the context of your comment and demonstrated knowledge of reddit moderating practices.

That's a very weak argument in my opinion.
How does the moderation in /r/conservatives, a subreddit for conservatives to discuss "from a distinctly conservative point of view", concern a liberal like yourself in any way?
This isn't a subreddit you need to participate in. I think it's more relevant how default subreddits or country subreddits are moderated in a similar way.
It concerns me insofar as the comment I was responding to, mentioned that participation in /r/conservative got him banned in another subreddit, while failing to mention the nature of /r/conservative as a heavily censored echo chamber.

The /r/conservative mods are pushing far-right and conspiracy theory positions, not textbook conservative ideology.
Even actual conservatives don’t like it. It’s like a propaganda operation where only approved think is allowed.
