They say "It’s not a real subreddit". I think its reasonable to conclude that they at the very least disapprove of that behaviour
To more precisely respond: "A eye for an eye leaves the world blind"

Someone disapproving of things isn't grounds for comparing it to a cycle of vengeance that leaves everyone blind.
If you think there's a better set of global rules that reddit should adopt, that's a fair observation. But until it does, it's not fair to call out other subs for mirroring the rules of a problem sub. If it can behave that way, so can they. If it can exist as a safe space for MAGAs, the rest of us are free to create a safe space from MAGAs.
> If it can behave
The thing about morality is its about how you "should" behave not how you "can" behave.

If you think its a-ok when /r/conservative does it, then by all means sure. I mostly object to the hypocrisy here. The original comment found /r/conservative's mod policy objectionable. Either it should be ok for everyone or it should be ok for noone. The part i'm objecting to is the implicit idea that its ok when people you like do something but not ok when people you don't like do it.
As long as you apply your moral views consistently i'm fine with it, regardless of whatever they are.
There is nothing hypocritical about being okay with the idea of moderation in the abstract while disagreeing with a specific implementation of it.
Do you think all of /r/conservative is maga, what's your definition? Should reddit just be a place only for liberal politics?
> Should reddit just be a place only for liberal politics?
I should be eating off golden plates and live in a house made of candy, and I shouldn't have to worry about the president's goon squad invading 'liberal antifa cities', or any of the other insane shit that's going on, but life isn't quite living up to my expectations at the moment.
Perhaps when they open up their safe spaces and behave in a civil manner, other communities might take their demands for access more seriously.
All-in-all, if your biggest political concern right now is that you've been banned from a few subreddits because you're a participant in another one, I'm sorry that it's causing you distress. But I'm afraid that your problems aren't ranking very highly on my list of immediate political concerns. When the ship's on fire, I frankly don't care about the poor feng shui of the deck chairs.
