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.
Was that warhammer part supposed to be a burn? I think if you want to attack a person moderating a rogan fan club you need bigger guns. These kids lack dakka.
Joe Rogan and his fans are nature’s D students.
I wouldn’t insult any student with that description … these are people that attended school and never paid attention to anything, skipped through most of the year and the school finally had to pass them with the most minimum grades they could fudge because it was difficult to have a 20 year old in high school.
Joe Rogan’s head looks like a D.
You give them too much credit.

tons of external feedback
Would love to know what this mean if the general user is confused about the decision.
From what I can get, it seems to be a fan/“fan”-run subreddit? If so, at least on the political side, doesn’t seem like a big deal. However, on the health of such communities, it’s a warning tale as Reddit’s design makes it hard to make alternative communities to keep discussion going.
Rogan has become a political commentator. They just want a rule to point to when they ban people they don’t like
I’m surprised that particular group of people could possibly get more confused.
