Why blur banned subreddits after the top 10? I’m sure subs like /r/againsthatesubreddits or /r/watchredditdie are going to be able to compile some pretty comprehensive lists of banned subreddits (particularly the ones still in the 1,000s of active users), so why not get ahead of that here?

Because some people there have very subjective opinions. Though I am not a very political person, I enjoy /r/PoliticalCompassMemes. For me, it seems like the only place on Reddit where you can interact with people with all kinds of different opinions/beliefs in a civilized and often humorous way. But there are people in /r/againsthatesubreddits who want to ban this community; which, in my opinion, is because many cant tolerate people with different ideas and are quick to dismiss other ideas as hate speech.

More than likely they are trying to obfuscate the fact that they are literally banning most right-wing subreddits and **not** banning certain subreddits that clearly fit the criteria for them being banned, but are kept because they fit the narrative Reddit wants to keep pushing forward.

r/againsthatesubreddits[1] is a hate subreddit who target subs who are generally tame and fine just cuz they don't like their opinions

Because they don't want to show the obvious bias in subs that were banned being primarily of the right wing persuasion.

Because of number 13: ri*********** 5295
That one is /RightwingLGBT
They banned the gays, lesbians, transgenders, ... who refuse to stay inside the premade box for them.
In fucking Pride Month. Reddit denounced diversity in the LGBT in pride month!
That would get picked up by the media and provide a shit show. So they want to avoid attention.

I was hoping AHS would get banned. Since they deserve it more than any other sub I’ve seen...

Because then you could see an obvious trend in what exactly the banning agenda is.
