Not possible. The conservative subreddits are the most speech-restrictive of them all.


TheSeekerOfSanity

Conservatives don’t allow for dissent. You can’t even try to post or reply on the r/Conservative subreddit. Only select, approved members can do that. Says a lot about their take on “free speech”.


changerofbits

They aren’t conservative, they’re bootlicking authoritarians.


Yeshua_shel_Natzrat

That's the same thing. The Conservative movement literally formed in the first place to be bootlicking authoritarians and a counterprotest movement against the anti-authoritarian Liberal and Libertarian protest movements, back in the late 1600s-early 1700s.


Consistentscroller

And literal Russians


strife26

(fake) god fearing tools


Deewd23

Trump suck boys. They’re trump suck boys.


ImaSource

I just posted 2 comments in there. Let's see how long it takes me to get banned, lol.


Fingerprint_Vyke

You've got to post a few comments vaguely agreeing with their horseshit for a few days. Then you slowly start to questiona a few things. After a while just say things that are totally against what they stand for, but say something racist or bigoted so they have to agree with you


bancroft79

They are all for “Their free speech” just not freedom of speech for all. Basically they get to spew hatred towards ‘Out’ groups but no one is allowed to criticize them. You know, fascists.


EdwardPotatoHand

I reported an extreme Islamophobia post to reddit for hate speech on r/conservative and my account received a warning for abusing the report button.. it was the first time ive ever report any post to reddit directly.


rflulling

That's likely because your report went to the moderators of /conservative and not reddit. So you got back handed by their moderators as hard as reddit would allow them too.


Tricky_Ebb9580

I shouldn’t have gone in there, not even to peek


Frosty-Banana3050

They haven’t blocked me yet lmao


DontForgetYourPPE

You just got banned for this comment if you haven't been banned already


The-Dead-Internet

Sounds like a cult 


TheSeekerOfSanity

Mass brainwashing is something all cults have in common.


Junior-Let567

R/conservative banned me permanently on my first comment.


TheSeekerOfSanity

Honestly, they did you a favor. I can’t even read their posts without feeling like there are tons of people who could really use a lobotomy. And the people (and foreign bots) who post there aren’t open to reason or evidence.


StormTrpr66

More like people who have already gotten lobotomies.


StormTrpr66

I've been shadowbanned from there before and after about a month it got lifted but this one isn't going away. I'm thinking it's more permanent. I guess like someone else said, the MAGA snowflakes really do need their own safe space.


Abrubt-Change-8040

I’ve been banned off nearly every single conservative sub for literally quoting Trump or talking about his court cases. Conservatives these days are such wimps.


drossvirex

Just like Trump


klone_free

I actually got banned from r/inthenews the other day for a joke. The ban was bullshit, they haven't even answered my appeal. It's spreading to both sides now. 


Abrubt-Change-8040

The one that got me banned from r/Republican or r/conservative was “with the star power of Dean Cain AND Kevin Sorbo, who even needs to vote”.


klone_free

Lol good one


neuroid99

Why do you think Conservative "ideas" wither and die in any honest public forum, like universities, scientific research, and journalism? Conservatism can only thrive when protected by the wealthy and really dumb bigots.

That’s how I got around every permaban.


Big__Black__Socks

Incognito mode works too, don't even need to clear cache and cookies


Phyllis_Tine

Make a new account and tell them to move to Truth Social and Twitter, or even Rumble. For funsies tell them to download Grindr for "real" conversations!


WudooDaGreat

Get a vpn, create accounts with a new ip addresses.


ThrustTrust

Oh yeah I got banned for not being racist


GBinAZ

Lol. I was banned the other day because I somehow found myself in a sub where people just like to complain about Taylor swift and how she is basically a propaganda machine with no actual skills to speak of. I don’t know how I ended up there but I tried to ask what someone meant when they said something about how TS doesn’t have any hobbies. I was like, so, you don’t like TS because you don’t know what hobbies she has in her private life? I got a little back and forth in before I was banned. Apparently that was too much for people who just want their own subreddit to shit on someone they have no real reason to hate other than their own inferiority complex.


ThrustTrust

This is very true. Some people only know how to talk crap and hate anything.


RelativeCareless2192

Idk dude, i've been banned from at least 5 liberal subreddits for saying "Hamas is bad"


Ok_Echidna6958

Spot on but they don't understand how many moderates and independents they are losing along the way. I once mentioned how Biden is the president and was banned in less than 5 minutes. They are truly a crazy group who live in a made up world and if you don't want to believe in a made up world they freak out on you. The GOP doesn't understand that their views are in the minority and that they have lost the moderate and independent voter, but instead of changing and understanding their faults they keep thinking we will run back to them. They sold their souls thinking they could add the racist and conspiracy groups too their party and are at the find out stage of politics. Which shows that they lost the voters since 2018 and they are now gone.


NirstFame

They are run by Russian mods. Many subs here have been completely taken over by them. They hate their country so much they have to mess with ours. I hope it comes back 100x on them.


__mysteriousStranger

All 1 of them lmao


Toxenkill

The "fuck your feelings" crowd.


ajmmsr

The energy sub is also pretty bad. Any pro nuclear sentiment or small transgression against solar or wind and you’re out.


factoryteamgair

Hey, don't try to invade their safe space.


Kate-2025123

They will say it’s to protect their ideals and beliefs and to keep discourse civil


coloradoemtb

right it always the gqp people are the biggest snowflake weak af whiners.


SunchaserKandri

They're masters of projection. Just about every complaint and accusation they throw at others could very easily be applied to them.


Born_Argument_5074

No no no, you misunderstood. It’s their freedom of speech to say racial, ethnic and homophobic slurs and you have to nod and agree otherwise you are infringing on their rights! /s


Relative_Business_81

“/s” is unnecessary, this is actually how they think 


Born_Argument_5074

I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t associated with their backwards thinking


ndngroomer

Same on just about every conservative sub on Reddit. Especially/r/conservative who knew the party of "fuck your feelings" and muh freedom of speech was so GD sensitive?


Nano_Burger

To be fair, they said, "Fuck your feelings," not "Fuck our feelings."


YouWereBrained

Look at r/conservative. If you breathe they ban you.


Born_Argument_5074

I am honestly surprised I haven’t been banned there yet guess I am not trying hard enough lol


Killallattys

Thin-skinned snowflakes do not appreciate criticism nor apparently facts.


heucrazy

Delete your account and make a new one.


StormTrpr66

I tried that in the past. They have ways of identifying you even with a different account. Maybe they go by IP, browser identifiers, MAC address, etc... who knows... but the couple of times I tried that they always found it within a couple of posts. Tried Tor, VPN, and a few other ways to not be identifiable but they still managed to.


WudooDaGreat

They're identified by IP address.


StormTrpr66

They have other ways to identify people. I tried with a VPN and also from work. They still managed to identify me somehow.


Old-Ad-3268

Cookies?


StormTrpr66

Chocolate chip?


jason4747

Yes please


Mendozena

Sign out of Reddit on EVERYTHING. Phone, tablet, computer. Clear cache on EVERYTHING. Delete the app as well. Sign into VPN or even some public WiFi and make a new account with a different email address. Make sure the username isn’t close to your current one. Verify the account via email. After that don’t sign into the account for a few days to let it age. Then feel free to download and sign into the Reddit app. That typically has worked for me and I’ve had like 8 accounts get permabanned on here.


Obamasdeadcook

Just make the account using McDonalds Wi-Fi and wait a week after connecting to your own Wi-Fi


CooperHChurch427

It's probably a hardware ban


_000001_

Use an internet cafe! :P


Old-Ad-3268

Io address, use a vpn


Novel_Alfalfa_9013

You should try r/AskThe_Donald or r/conservative for some primadonna snowflake behaviour. They won't shadow ban you, they'll just ban you outright and then find a reason to give you a 7 day vacation.


seenitreddit90s

I didn't even know you could get shadow banned on here, they just ban me outright every time. I've run out of subs now unless anyone has got a suggestion of some niche ones I could slide into.


Novel_Alfalfa_9013

I'm banned in 3 political subs. Not sure how shadow banning works here on reddit.


seenitreddit90s

Only 3? Try r/trump, r/bidenisnotmypresident, r/conservativememes and r/Trump2024to2028. I'm sure there's more but I can't think rn lol.


EggZaackly86

I go to FOX NEWS sort by popular vids and I scroll thru reading posts from 4-8 years ago and the comments. It's too easy to pick out the cocky bastards that were wrong. Like shooting fish in a barrel.


Ok-Research7136

Magas are exactly what they accuse their enemies of being.


NSFWmilkNpies

It’s all projection.


AMC_Unlimited

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.


RipWhenDamageTaken

When they say freedom of speech they mean the most hateful and unhinged things. Have you tried adding a few slurs in your comments?


StevenR50

Swear allegiance to the orange messiah.


MentalGravity87

How do you know if you have been shadowbanned?


Flimsy_Intern_4845

Why bother it’s useless to talk to them. You could agree with them, but if you bring nuance into it they cant hold a single thought. Mainly because it’s not their thought


CuriousCryptid444

I was shadow banned from conservative sub for “concern trolling”…..I asked a question


Snellyman

I don't like your tone there fella! That's a banning /s


NSFWmilkNpies

I was banned for asking why regulations were bad for regular businesses but needed for things like social media (back when Trump was initially banned from Twitter).


CreepyUncleRyry

The party of family values and law- So long as your family looks like their family, talk like their family, and worship the same orange god that the laws they claim to stand by do not apply.


SunchaserKandri

You have to remember that their definition of free speech translates to "I can say whatever I want and you aren't allowed to criticize me, but you're also not allowed to say anything that I might disagree with."


Rule-Expression

The foxnews comments section might be the greatest concentration of racist rhetoric anywhere on the planet.


Omacrontron

Just par for the course. I too am banned from just about all of the lefty subs lol. Mostly for just pointing out hypocrisy.


dartie

What did you say / do?


Mo0kish

I doubt they banned you for pointing out your hypocrisy.


Omacrontron

You’re right, it probably has more to do with the chain of texts that follows. Whether it be people just calling me names or a “well did you see he did xyz” back and forth ect ect.


Dear-Progress6999

I got banned for the skull emoji and that’s the only thing I can think of, because I was laughing, also threw the word “fatass” in there so who knows


Wizbran

I have no idea why I got banned. Wasn’t even a truly political sub but it found it’s way there. I’ve asked a few times but those devs must be super busy plucking out randos to ban to let me know why


MrStuff1Consultant

MAGAts for free speech? Nah, dog, they despise free speech. If they actually cared about free speech, they wouldn't be burning books and closing libraries.


reddit_1999

It's a Russian boiler room operation at this point. Same thing with the Fox News Youtube comment section. Just go elsewhere and try to convince real people that might actually still be persuadable.


[deleted]

[удалено]


StormTrpr66

I'm not talking about reddit, I'm talking about foxnews dot com comments section.


Wizbran

Honest question. Why do you want to post there? There’s echo chambers on both sides and it makes no sense to post there with an opposite view unless you intentionally want to stir shit up. Free speech ends with you saying it. You are not free from the consequences. If you posted some dumb shit, the ban was the consequence. I seriously doubt you got banned for having a civil conversation


StormTrpr66

I'm assuming I got banned for speaking the truth and pointing out the hypocrisy of the maga cult. Not sure if you get shadowbanned as a result of several MAGAs pressing the "mute" button on your post but its possible that was it. The foxnews filters will also not let you post profanity in the first place. As for why I'd want to post there, simple entertainment and as RATM said, know your enemy! :)


SuperfluouslyMeh

All I have ever posted in r/climatescience is links to scientific papers along with quotes from the papers themselves. I’m shadow banned there. Mods everywhere don’t like being fact checked.


Big__Black__Socks

The kind of people inclined to spend their time actively moderating on Reddit are going to slew pretty heavily towards losers who don't have a lot going on otherwise. Been that way since the dawn of the internet.


Pure-Astronomer-9199

Freedom for me but not for thee


OriginalEchoTheCat

Same. Ran through both of my addresses. They don't want my opinion.


it_8nt_my_fault

Hmmmm.... "shadowbanned"? 🤔 Sounds theoretically conspiratorial to me... 😒 Sure you didnt violate their ToS??


WandaRage

Well most outlets online have a review system before comments are published, and sometimes your comments violate their online policies. Can be stupid shit that does it as well, but you guys wanted this silencing when it was people you disliked and now it’s happening to you it’s suddenly a problem? We did say you’d think differently when it was happening to you… and oh look at that we were right. If you play the game in a certain way that’s not cool don’t be mad when your opponents play it the same way.


phallicpressure

That explains a lot. I guess I'm shadow banned, too. I'm a conservative POC, and I always attack the racists on FN. Now, when I post, my comments never stay up. Yet, they leave up the racist posts.


thebrownhaze

You think fox is maga?


nerdmon59

Yes. On the slightly tamer side of MAGA, but definitely MAFA. Especially the opinion shows. Pure Trump propaganda.


ShakyTheBear

Why would you even want to go there to start with?


24framespersec

They are all about free speech when it applies to THEM


ScientistNo906

Can't imagine that it would be worth your time.


StormTrpr66

Like you said, it is my time and what entertains me may not entertain you. There's nothing quite like watching a maga meltdown though.


marklar_the_malign

Freedom and liberty is only for those that follow their doctrine to the t. So basically not actual freedom and liberty.


kelticladi

MAGAts are as thin-skinned as they come. Thinner than a single layer of onion skin...


Consistent-Fig7484

How does that happen? I made two references to hunter Biden’s penis and told a retired marine who was bragging about never using drugs or alcohol that his whole family is addicted to fentanyl. I don’t seem to have gotten even a slap on the wrist.


AggravatingBobcat574

How could you possibly have thought MAGA was about free speech?


Goldengo4_

Same happened to me on Fox Fake News. Snowflakes don’t like when the heat gets turned up.


Mammoth_Material323

Am seeing this post 21 hrs after it happened! But libs own social media 😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️


Smart_Investment_326

Propagandist news outlet.


livinginfutureworld

You can probably get unshadow banned by tonguing Donald Trump's asshole in your comments....


Callierez

So, don't laugh at me but what is a shadow ban versus a regular ban? I'm sure it does what it says on the tin but can I get a ELI5 version?


StormTrpr66

In general a regular ban means you cannot post at all. On some forums or comment sections you can't even log in. A shadow ban is when you are still allowed to log in and post but no one except you can actually see your posts. Basically, if you're shadow banned you can keep replying to posts, creating new posts, etc, but it's a complete waste of time because no one will be able to see them.


Callierez

Thats... an interesting way to do that. It feels passive aggressive in some ways. Lol


chichunks

I got banned permanently from r/conservatives for asking why I was muted


Long-Jackfruit427

I changed email addresses and user names for a couple of months. I think they finally got around to banning my IP address. No TOS violations. Just saying things their lemmings didn’t like.


lc4444

Silly, it’s THEIR Free Speech that is important.


Spaceman_Spliff_42

Convincing us they’re “pro free speech” is just a strategy, they’ve always leaned fascist


Strange-Elevator-672

Capture it on video and post it around everywhere. Show yourself leaving a comment on one account, then show that it isn't visible from another account.


troycalm

Join the club, 80% of what I post on Reddit never gets seen.


WhiteOutSurvivor1

What is a shadow ban?


StormTrpr66

It means you can still log in and post but your posts are invisible to everyone except you. So basically you think you're having a conversation but no one can see your posts so you're basically talking to yourself.


WillOrmay

You have to say the N word a certain number of times, it’s like when the priest gives you 5 “our fathers” as penance


AngryVegetarian

Funny that you think Republicans care about free speech!


responsiblemudd

It's so funny because the orange guy is the absolute king of cancel culture


flirtmcdudes

Why bother? You’ll never get through to them, it’s a waste of time


Orest26Dee

I get banned on all of the Pro-Biden subs on Reddit for speaking objectively.


StormTrpr66

I don't know too many "pro-Biden" people. Most people I know simply could never bring themselves to vote for a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, treasonous spy, insurrectionist, lifelong fraud, and all-around incompetent narcissistic cretin. And looking at actual numbers, even doddering old Weekend At Bernie's Biden is doing an infinitely better job than the orange turd did.


illbehaveipromise

No you don’t. Get banned, or speak objectively, I mean. Pathetic.


EggZaackly86

Me too, I'm swamped. I actually love seeing them kick out reasonable voices, how desperate. they don't like us interfering with them brainwashing their people. "GO AWAY MR QUESTIONS!! TRUMP IS LORD" 😂


TrueKing9458

I have Ben banned or had comments removed from likec15 subreddits


WalterOverHill

MAGAs are not about free speech, they’re only interested in their own privileged speech.


GroundbreakingCook68

Being banned from Foxx is a Badge of Honer and thank you for your service 🫡


Ormsfang

They love free speech. As long as your speech agrees with theirs you are fine.


cogneato-ha

Anyone know how I can get back into the local dump?


More_Length7

Yeah it’s funny that way people don’t usually realize fascists are fascists until it’s too late


OBX-BlueHorseshoe

Fascist Old Xenophobes Never Enough White Supremacy only believes in free speech if you are agreeing with them.


mar34082

Yeah the Republicans free-speech things kind of BS I was banned on truth for just saying trumps kind of gay


Slothlife_91

Gotta be in the cult to comment. Theme the rules for those guys. That and constantly project obviously.


bcanddc

I’ve been banned from just about every slightly left leaning subreddit just for pointing out inconvenient facts. It goes both ways. The world has turned into a giant bunch of echo chambers.


Past-Inflation-7428

Enjoy the liberal subreddits which is like. All the other ones.


Repulsive-Track-8273

MAGATS ARE ALL FOR FREE SPEECH AS LONG AS YOU AGREE WITH THEM AND DRINK THE TRUMP KOOL AID!

Witty_Comb_2000

They have to ban people because they are so easily proven wrong.


dktclimb

They require that the cult stay misinformed


OffToRaces

They are NOT about free speech at all! Neither fringe is … they are ALL about reinforcing the walls of their echo chambers.


StormTrpr66

Only one fringe is talking about imprisoning political opponents and people who don't say nice things about the orange turd. Their "free speech" consists of lies deliberately designed to undermine our political and legal systems and incite violence on behalf of their disgraced felon who is desperately trying to keep himself out of jail for criminal acts he committed of his own accord.


Oni-oji

Make a new account. But I have a better idea. Don't post on their website.


giracello92

There snowflakes ❄️


JustDiscoveredSex

You should know by now they're nothing but flaming hypocrites. The entire Republican apparatus is nothing but flaming hypocrites, liars and grifters whose bread-and-butter trades on projection of the most transparent and ridiculous kind. They've gone all-in for the last eight years telling us that they are a monolithic hive-mind, with no room for dissent, nuance, or truth. So I believe them. They are a monolithic hive-mind, with no room for dissent, nuance, or truth. They will not be reasoned with, they will not see reality, they will not come to the table in good faith, they will not deal in truths and they will not hear anything that hasn't been blessed by their propaganda apparatus. How do you reason with someone who is deep in the throes of hallucinations? My MIL had hospital-induced psychosis for a few days...her reality was that there were people calling her name in the hallway, strangers were coming in and sitting on her bed, and when she went home, doctors from the emergency room had followed her home and were hiding in the garden/yard. It's what she saw, it's what she heard. How on earth do you reason with such people?


StormTrpr66

You can't reason with people in cults. They will laugh and claim they are not in a cult and that it's everyone else who is the problem. The MAGA cult members remind me a lot of the Manson girls.


simplekindaman13

They are snowflakes


Last-Example1565

Although viewers might be MAGA, Fox itself has a rocky relationship with Trump.


StormTrpr66

Yeah, most of the hosts have been caught on audio admitting that they can't stand trump, but when all is said and done, they still publicly sing his praises and show him nothing but fealty and adulation. Not to mention Rupert's ties to Russia run very very deep.


seattlermc

Real Americans, those you make fun of, are for free speech. You forget it’s the democrats that are trying to oppress speech they don’t like, they call it “hate speech” or “misinformation”


CoolApostate

I think the way you do it is make a YouTube video of yourself wearing the dirtiest, cheapest looking clothes you have in your house that hasn’t been cleaned. You then claim you are a trump supporter, that you know he cares about you, and ask him to make the swampy leftist communist fox muse lift the shadow ban.


[deleted]

Fox sucks


[deleted]

Doesnt matter the side, youll get banned for going against the popular view.


AshenCorbeau

Why bother, it's all click-bait now. If they can't be bothered to write headlines that describe the article then why be bothered to read the article. Every other news site, left or right, has headlines that say "this thing happened". FoxNews will say "you won't believe what happened" and make you click it and read half an article to figure out what happened.


coloradoemtb

is their right to free speech that is what they mean like 2nd amendment for them not for Hunter, These people are cartoon characters posting online.


onekickman888

the only free speech their is hate speech and love for heir fuhrer don the con

Wha Wha Wha. Reap what you sow. I’m a conservative and get banned from many sites that are obviously controlled by Democrats. This is for simply offering a different opinion or perspective. You Lefty hypocrites make me 🤮
