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.”

    I’m surprised that particular group of people could possibly get more confused.

      Last i check the joe rogan subreddit were fans of the old 2016-2020 joe back when he supported bernie sanders and wasnt full on right wing grifter.

      that subreddit was basically making fun of what joe became last i checked it in 2023. My hunch is the “no political posts” means there’s been a takeover to try and make the sub “pro rogan” right wing.

      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.

    Since I’m not involved at all, this is very funny to read through the meltdowns. Fascists would be more fun if they were in some sort of Matrix pod system the fuck away from us.

    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.

    So the mods for Broprah’s subreddit are getting tired of the vitriol that Broprah himself has inspired in the children that visit that shithole.

    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.

      This one is rather a sub for former fans, of the “““he’s a neutral interviewer””” days, which are now clowning on how stupid Rogan has become. Without the political themes, on which Rogan speaks a lot now, there’s not much to even discuss.

      There’s actually another alternative sub for proper fans. =)
