Not left? Banned. Not far left? Banned. Not authleft? Banned.

I was banned from subreddits more often for opposing the open advocation of totalitarianism than anything else.

I guess some of that has come over here based on your comment scores, but at least your comments aren't being removed ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ I haven't been downvoting anything here based on disagreement cause a) I think discouraging people from sharing their opinions here will kill the site, even if you don't like their opinions and b) I think it's wrong anyway.

I hope the extreme polarization and just general toxicity doesn't last here. I get that Reddit is perfectly designed to split people into tribes, and I hope that's not true of this site as well.

I agree entirely. Just because I might not agree with someone on their politics doesn't mean we can't have a civil discussion, especially regarding apolitical topics
