conservative

The U.S. Supreme Court's recent term ended with a flurry of conservative-leaning decisions that have been met with shock and disapproval, particularly from the left. This conservative trend is seen as a reflection of the 6-3 conservative majority established during Trump's presidency. Noteworthy rulings include siding with a web designer who refused services to same-sex couples, ending affirmative action in colleges, and dismissing President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan.

Justice Samuel Alito has outstripped Justice Clarence Thomas to become the most conservative justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

If this isn't a conservative community, can someone point me to the actually conservative community?

A lot of redditors today think that Reddit became a hard left echo chamber organically. This couldn't be further from the truth. It once played host to a large amount of conservative subs, and Reddit's admins worked hard to eliminate this community. There have been false flags, constant harassment, selective enforcement of rules, and worse.

Famously, The_Donald was one of the biggest conservative communities on the internet. It represented actual politicians and the people who voted for them, it allowed debate. It was ultimately removed for posts "threatening violence against police". The BLM movement started weeks later, and one glance at leftist subs even today should prove that if this was a REAL reason to remove a sub, then it wouldn't just be TD being removed. Rather, Reddit wanted it gone from the start.

Spez has been caught editing users posts, for example: https://www.theverge.com/2016/11/23/13739026/reddit-ceo-steve-huffman-edit-comments

and Spez has admitted, he thinks he has the power to influence elections through reddit: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/03/19/reddit-and-the-struggle-to-detoxify-the-internet “I’m confident that Reddit could sway elections,” he told me. “We wouldn’t do it, of course. And I don’t know how many times we could get away with it. But, if we really wanted to, I’m sure Reddit could have swayed at least this election, this once.”

Another big sub was r/cringeanarchy. CA broke no reddit rules, it wasn't "hate speech", it just had memes making fun of people who were (arguably) on the left. But Reddit couldn't allow subreddits that were popular and seemed to mock leftist opinions. CA faced mods being forced in, false flag attacks, and constant cries of "hate speech" from r/AgainstHateSubs. AHS was caught multiple times making false flag attacks on conservative subs, but they would pull out their ultimate trick, which I witnessed in person.

CA was flooded with CP late one night, faster than mods could remove it, and this was quickly and quietly used as a reason for Reddit admins to ban the sub. An AHS user admits to this as well: https://youtu.be/yUV9TyfYaEQ

There have been chat logs tying AHS leaders to reddit admins as well. I have no doubt that Reddit's admins, who counted among their numbers known pedophiles Ghislaine Maxwell and Aimee Challenor, used posted child porn as an excuse to delete an unwanted subreddit.

Now redditors say things like "most people are left wing" and the classic "reality has a known liberal bias" not knowing that the opinions of actual people who vote right some or all the time, more-or-less half the US, have been deliberately hidden from them.

This same treatment affected LGBT subs outside the main narrative, and womens subs. Subs like r/itsafetish or r/detrans are gone, subs like r/twoxchromosomes or r/actuallesbians have trans members forcibly placed on the mod team.

Who else was there to witness the censoring? What else do redditors need to know?

There should be some moderators looking after this community.

The sidebar should be filled with at least a description of what this is for, and some basic rules. Also posts/comments that are off-topic or break server/community rules should be removed. I think 3 mods to start would be OK, they can appoint more mods if needed.

If we can't find moderatos, we'll have to close this community.

The best way to drain the swamp is to throw Trump and his team in jail for their many crimes.
