It all started on Tuesday, when a moderator for r/JoeRogan wrote that “all political posts are now banned on r/JoeRogan.”
“Today we are making the decision to ban all political posts indefinitely,” the explanation read. “After careful consideration, internal discussion and tons of external feedback we have collectively decided that r/joerogan is not the place for politics anymore.”
That post was not received well. One contributor wrote, “Every reddit mod is a hall monitor dork, change my mind. Youre banning the topic he talks about the most. You guys are hypocrites and anti free speech. If you cant mod effectively then go paint your warhammer figurines and let someone else do it.”
How the hell are they deciding what counts as “political”?
If it makes Trump look bad that’s political. If it makes Trump look good, or any democrat look bad, that’s fine.

tons of external feedback
Would love to know what this mean if the general user is confused about the decision.
MONEY! (or fake clout)
Imagine how fucking stupid you must be to be browsing a Joe Rogan subreddit, let alone be a mod.
fuck reddit
rogan can choke on his steroids
This is just to make the subreddit conform to the brand/Joe Rogan’s perspective and interpretation of events and excuse their moderation actions when they censor or silence users with opinions or perspectives they don’t approve of.
This is a guy who’s spent the majority of his “comedian” career shitting on others for censoring hate speech he likes and priming his audience to view all criticism of him as petty cancel culture.
As per usual, the “freedom of speech absolutist” crowd is the most authoritarian on crucial critical speech.
