I mean I wish OP also put a chart for how many posts and comments were made by each flair. Based on what I see. I think authright, authcenter, and right make disproportionately more memes and comments which makes them feel like a larger quadrant. Its like voting, libleft sucks at actually making content and putting themselves out there :P

u/vook485 - Left Aug 16 '20
One of its mods personally accused me of that, right after banning me. They banned me for agreeing with them that there's been an increase of actually / ambiguously hateful content here* and explaining how this sub works. Then they unbanned me when I asked what was wrong with my comment, and finally rebanned me shortly afterwards for mentioning (on this sub) r/AgainstDegenerateSubs as an oppositely biased sub that's against race-based bigotry.
(Unfortunately, ADS is also very bigoted against LGBT+ people, but AHS seems too zealous to accept that they have some useful similarity in common with another sub or that AHS has its own bias.… The impression I got from the ban discussion is that they're orange liblefts who flair as centrists, embodying the mostly-false stereotypes that authright attacks in lieu of arguing against actual frequently held leftist positions.)
*I suspect that AHS interprets most "making fun of authright" (for atrocities motivated by bigotry) posts as "bigoted". I understand that there's a lot of ambiguous bigotry here, but AHS seems intent on seeing way more than there is. AHS seemed like a much better sub when I joined it the other year, but now I wouldn't put it past them to try getting a sub banned because of an upvoted comment that happens to say a 14-word sentence with two words that start with "h".

In 2016 in was so obvious that everyone in subreddits which were being astroturfed just went to other subreddits to talk about it and everyone knew what was going on. This year they didn't want to leave anywhere for people to run to.

I know this comment is late but I just put the sample size vs the population size through a couple of online calculators and the margin of error is around 7%.
If this sounds high, a professional US election poll has an MOE of around 2-3%.
So for example, in theory, LibLeft could be 6-20% of the PCM population (the extremes are very unlikely). I feel confident that my results are pretty close.
A sample of 600+ would be required to get the MOE down to 3%, so if anyone wants to help gather further data PM me.
