Every so often r/conservative traffic dies down and the subreddit turns much more centrist. It’s never liberal by any stretch but you’ll actually see lots of criticism poke through.

Because they don’t actually want to do that. Having open platforms means actual conversation happens and that’s poison to authoritarians.
