Looking at the subreddit right now, there's literally 0 threads which are positive toward the republicans, i scrolled quite awhile trying to find 1 example. Obviously it's a giant echo chamber with only 1 viewpoint.

The key point of this discussion is that Reddit effectively banned the republicans off their site in June of 2020. And looking at this article, they focused on october 2020 and later?

>Messages from different political standpoints that describe the value of a functional shared conversation

This is the big discussion which happened in 2020. Is it even important to have a functional shared conversation? Reddit argued no and they argued that they have every right to ban the republicans off the site.

I guess there was talk about section 230 and such but reddit kept their platform protections despite being in clear violation.
