Hard disagree. I started picking up bans in formerly mildly left subs like therightcantmeme, more left leaning subs like completeanarchy, and the place was suddenly full of insidious left-passing communities like ultraleft over night. What were once spaces that banned no one, embraced many different leftist schools, and prided themselves on thinking for themselves now banned leftists who broke rank and file and instead offered the correct opinions on any host of issues the second one asked. To put another way, there was an influx of posts like, "im new, whats the [insert leftist branch here] thought on [insert modern political issue here]?" There was a time when these posts were not only hardly existent, but such asks would be met with, "go and read up on theory and see what u like, dont ask for ur thoughts to be spoon fed to u."
