No, liberals get instant banned while self-admitted white supremacists get purgatory merry-go-rounds and there's absolutely no restrictions on anti-vaxers.

depends on the forum. i stopped going to politics because i called a conservative circle jerk what it was and got warned. but CE seems more left wing.

if you're talking about mods i'd say they're just shit all around.

There are more liberals here but the conservative are more vocal.

I do not feel the conservative voices are being silenced. They do however get outnumbered.

I would say CE is more left-leaning among users, right leaning among trolls.

In terms of moderations I would say the mod staff is generally unbiased, but left leaning users tend to get moderated more, primarily because they're much more likely to resort to personal attacks and since the TOS cares more about how you treat other users than it does your opinions on general topics that's just how the hammer tends to fall.

This is a good point. People who "flame" a genocide denier often get modded more harshly than the person denying a genocide. Flaming and "abusive behavior" are clamped down on harder than genuinely abhorrent viewpoints much of the time.

This. The userbase leans left, but the amount of blatant racism, pro-pandemic propaganda, and other abhorrent conservative viewpoints that goes unmodded here is disappointing.

lol no. Several MAGA boards with users supporting insurrection and calling for the deaths of the left and Democrat politicians, certain console boards being infested with hardcore right wingers, several mods who lean right plus ones in the past like Admiral, far right wingers getting slap on the wrist after slap on the wrist even after saying absolutely heinous things (racism, sexism, bigoted remarks against LGBT+ members), Covid misinformation barely being moderated, left leaning users being warned or worse for calling the staff out on the above, etc.

No one is being silenced for their politicak views on either side

If you can get a posy out without calling someone hitler, you wont be modded

If you cant, then nothing of value was lost

It is really weird how thirsty for authoritarian mod discipline the self-proclaimed liberals on CE are. Although it's really just a couple of vocal posters who can't maintain a single account that give off that vibe.

CE leans a good bit left in rhetoric, but as far as the distribution of posters it's probably about even. Other than CE it's fairly even, with some gaming message boards leaning pretty heavily towards the right with a couple probably in need of a hard reset.
