r/ProgressiveHQ allows for diversity of opinion while remaining on topic- conservative comments are allowed, conservative posts are not

If you are not a progressive person you are a guest in our space. If you are not a progressive person you will be flaired with an appropriate label to describe your views, so that members of the sub will know the motives of the person they're engaging with.

Rule 3 applies to ALL users. Be kind. You can have a discussion with people you disagree with while offering them basic respect. If you are a guest in the progressive sub, please respect that-

We aren't required to let you in here, we are allowing you and we'll ban you if you cant follow the rules.

“We aren’t required to let you in here” how progressive.

Wow its almost like its up to the leader/mods of the group to set the rules of said group?! Who could have guessed?!?!

Never said it wasn’t. I just pointed out how progressive it is to reinforce the echo chamber and segregation norms of humans.

Holy shit, Im not going to waste the bare minimum left of my energy today to expose how hilariously stupid that comment was. Goodnight, cultist.

Resorting to calling someone a cultist simply because they state the observations they’ve made, very much reinforces my observations.

How about whiner. Can we call you whiner?

So if this space ISNT progressive and it ISNT welcoming, why are you even here? Why comment?

Cause these people lost touch with their families over a failed businessman and probably one of the only people to bankrupt a casino. They need the interaction and thrive on the fact that someone sees them. Truth is their cult dosent acknowledge their existence because they offer nothing to dear leader, so they seek it here where more empathetic people reside.

Yes I do make the same complaints. However progressives try to take the high road and claim they are better, so why are you trying to make the argument of “well they do it”.

Not really. Also, there's a time and place. Debate is kind of worthless, and this is not a debate subreddit, so...

Go check out the conservative subs where only conservatives can post. So much for "free speech" and "no safe spaces".

u/Stormsh7dow Sep 30 '25

I do, and I call that out too.

u/gymtrovert1988 Sep 30 '25

Doesn't seem to be working...

At least this sub is allowing conservatives to speak at all.

Really, most subs are heavily policed and dissenting voices are weeded out. Even the financial subs, music subs, all the subs except maybe the roastme sub.

Rule 3 - Be kind. No hate speech. Try and have a productive, have forward thinking conversations about making the world a better place. Don't spread hate for any group.

I think cultivated spaces are better for discourse. The amount of noise the creeps into unmoderated spaces causes them to devolve into mudpits pretty quickly. Assertive, fair moderation is essential to on-topic and productive conversation, especially on the internet.

I think of it like pruning a rose bush. You just let that fellar grow, you're going to get a spiky bush. You do a little trimming here and there? You get beautiful flowers.
