Differences from r/objectivism

The moderators there have a history of banning people, particularly those who disagree with them on what constitutes Objectivism and "objectivism" (their use, note lower-case "o"). Bans have tended to be made inconsistently and unpredictably.
The moderators there have a history of operating large-scale deceptions using many alternative reddit accounts ("sock puppets") (more info here).
The moderators there are not actually Objectivists, but support some mix between anarchism and Objectivism. (Objectivism is Ayn Rand's philosophy, and it repudiates anarchism. See: Anarchism at the Ayn Rand Lexicon.)
The moderators there created it to be a community for supporters of TAS. This alignment was not revealed until 5 years after the fact, a bait-and-switch. See here for documentation. TAS is a minority faction created by David Kelley after his dispute with Leonard Peikoff (and ARI) on the nature of moral judgement. r/trueobjectivism is not officially aligned with either ARI or TAS, but most people here do side with Peikoff and do support ARI.
