    Soort of. Despite being over a million subs for about a year now (maybe more or less, I forget), they try to push the narrative that they are complete Reddit outcasts and are treated unfavorably compared to other political subs. I wouldn’t be surprised if they see this as their way of becoming the predominant political sub on the site now that Reddit is falling apart.

      I mean, they aren’t treated well by other users, they don’t deserve to be and shouldn’t be. Paradox of tolerance and all that. They have their echo chamber and leaving it means a bad time. They are still treated well by the platform itself.

        Yeah, that’s what I meant. They get a lot of well deserved hate, but some people on that sub act like the entire place is shadowbanned by the admins even though they’ve been getting away with blatantly breaking the TOS for years without getting banned.

      The entire conservative political philosophy is based on being a martyr. They better be careful, or they’re gonna become the dog that caught the car, just like on Twitter.
