This place will probably turn out the same as r/conservative, which is famously not an echo chamber that would never ban left leaning comments in threads about current events.
As long as I'm a mod here, no. Posts need to be on-topic and comments need to be civil, but I despise echo chambers and don't intend to create one.
Thank you for maintaining some sanity here.
As a fairly liberal person who decided to subscribe here in hopes of broadening his horizons, I appreciate that.
If you're a mod here please do something about the left wing hijacking of threads. The brigading is serious and real.
If a certain group cannot engage civilly which r/conservative was famous for, if the leftists continue to argue in bad faith, then we can and should shut their typical nonsense OUT.
Active ban lists with active mods! Down votes and dissenting opinions aren't the problem - the growing of the community is!
r/conservative even has people with "liberal" flairs and there are plenty of people who post there and consider themself liberal.

All of the important/current event posts are marked for flaired users only, which makes r/conservative an echo chamber. Nobody in that sub has "liberal" flairs, they are all conservative only.
That's not true, there are plenty of people with all kinds of flair including "Liberal" on /r/Conservative, mods are giving these flairs to people who can support a meaningful discussion without accusations, attacks and drama, a rarity amount ultra liberal crowd on reddit.

Classical liberalism is a conservative ideology, not a progressive/leftist one. It's a conservative echo chamber.
It's a branch of liberalism, which only confirms my point.
