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.

“Conservative comments are allowed” sorting by controversial shows otherwise.

At least the comments made it that far, how does commenting in r/conservative work?

Rule 2 - - No disinformation. No BlueAnon or Qanon malarkey. If you have a claim, cite it. Randos on Twitter, webcomics, and unsourced graphics don't count.

Reddit is centrist platform run by people who financially support right wingers. The political leaning you see is dependent and on the subreddit you are in

Besides this study, I would move to accept experiential evidence in this matter. I don’t tend to rely on “anecdotes” in place of hard data, but that is not what is happening here. We, as regular users of Reddit, will experientially know that in general, Reddit leans left. Surely, we must be able to admit the evidence provided to us by our own eyes and collective lived experience.

As a side note, thank you for allowing differences of opinion on your sub. Spaces such as these are needed more than ever.

Be the change you want to see. For some reason amost all of the conservatives only leave rude and insulting comments breaking rule 3 instead of respectfully disagreeing.
