Yep. It's part of their persecution/victim complex. It's an easy way to escape accountability for anything - their orange chimplord does the same thing. "Very unfair". They can't figure it out, but they get silenced and banned because (drumroll...) they break the rules more, usually by calling for violence.
Similar on reddit. Reddit is predominantly left, but much less so than 10 years ago when it was mainly college students. Conservatives whine it being censorship when they're downvoted, and complain basically that everyone doesn't agree with them ('omg! /r/politics reflects the belief of the majority of subscribers!!'). On their subs, such as conservative or the complete shithole that was 'the donald', dare to disagree and your account will instantly be permanently banned, complete with vulgar insults from the mod. Plus they use the system where only users with mod-given flair can comment.
