    So, I wouldn’t take anyone at their word here. Reddit shadowbans people for ban evasion or vote manipulation usually. Reddit doesn’t have to play favourites when for people involved it might just be the first time breaking Reddit ToS and now they’re surprised that there’s some moderation there at all given how lenient Reddit is on some things.

    I can see plenty of people on the anti-Trump side advocate violence and destruction of property which while a noble goal is just stupid to do on a corporate platform that is legally liable for this. You could have done this ages ago and be on your 5th account when ban evasion filter catches you.

    The other thing is that when you think you’re saving the world coordinating upvote/downvotes seems innocent enough but Reddit is pretty good at catching that and 50501 are likely amateurs in the world of manipulating Reddit. Far right has been at this way longer and got pretty good at skirting the rules and avoiding traps, hence this might appear that Reddit allows them to do anything.
