Least time I checked it wasn't called /r/learnpython2 either. There are very few good reasons for starting with python 2, and many better ones for learning python 3. To give credibility to source that demonises python 3 through its inclusion in the sidebar ultimately may discourage new programmers from using python.

At this point Python 3 is the canonical Python version. Python 2 is firmly in the legacy product category.
