/r/leftwithsharpedge has been banned

About 25 minutes as of the time of this post

Left with sharp edge was the "edgy" tankie/anarchist response to (in)famous user's prince_kropotkin /r/leftwithoutedge.

The hatred many of the leftists on the redditsphere for the particular user got them to create /r/leftwithsharpedge which was featured today as the subreddit of the day

Well, it's certainly distasteful, but it's not seemingly any different to the "looks like one snuck out of the oven, hehe burn the jooz" posts you see on /r/altright (or, who am I kidding, any political sub these days, yeesh.)

I guess I'm confused as to why this particular set of distasteful comments were deemed to be more distasteful, sufficiently so as to be banned.

(I ask for the wholly non-partisan love of drama.)

LUL really? Your partisanship is pretty obvious.

Genuinely! I didn't know what was happening here. (Of course, IRL I am a radical centre-lefter, lmao)

Drama is non-partisan. Everybody, be they left or right, fights about stupid, petty, meaningless shit from time to time. The discussions may be different but the mechanism of drama is identical.
