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.”
This is just to make the subreddit conform to the brand/Joe Rogan’s perspective and interpretation of events and excuse their moderation actions when they censor or silence users with opinions or perspectives they don’t approve of.
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.
Joe Rogan and his fans are nature’s D students.
You give them too much credit.
Joe Rogan’s head looks like a D.
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.
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.

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.
these kids lack dakka
That will be coming with me, thank you
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. =)
Rogan has become a political commentator. They just want a rule to point to when they ban people they don’t like
“commentator” is a strong word
I think it’s accurate, unlike his opinions. You don’t have to be insightful or intelligent to comment on events, I prove that myself every day.
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.
tons of external feedback
Would love to know what this mean if the general user is confused about the decision.
MONEY! (or fake clout)
