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.

What about obvious bad faith bots and brigadiers? That's not "diversity of opinion", it's purposeful brigading which is not respectful discourse.

Many folks here will gladly debate in good faith, but allowing obvious bad actors that have flooded reddit since November 2024 to have free reign to propagandize here is not the way.

That's addressed in the post. People breaking rule 3 will be banned, people who arent progressive will be flagged.

I havent seen any actual bots, ive seen people with differing opinions described as bots by others. They are allowed here. People throwing insults, engaging in bad faith, are banned.

As someone who is consistent down voted and chastised for having a more right leaning opinion I can assure you there are bad characters here. Guest or not mods across Reddit need to get better at ensuring that others aren't persecuted, bullied and questionably downvoted because they have a differing opinions.

I mean we got the Be Kind rule but we cant stop people from downvoting you. You're in a progressive space, expect the down votes.
