In my experience while the amount of moderating done was comparable, the actual content that got removed was different.

In left spaces you would often see people with conservative opinions getting banned and deleted… After they started saying slurs or insulting people. Some people would argue that whether or not something is considered a slur or an insult is a difference in political opinion, but those kinds of things are already against the reddit site-wide rules so it’s moot.

In places like r/conservative, people would get banned for being aggressive and insulting people, but also for ever presenting an opinion that isn’t strictly in line with modern conservatism. The moderators of that subreddit used bans to remove any and all dissent no matter how severe or mild.
