    The purging of the alt-right on Reddit allowed the liberals to take their place. It’s like a weird liberal 4chan now.

      That whole site is basically Facebook for gen x and millennials, except significantly more obnoxious and unfunny. I mean you literally can't have a single post without the first (several!) comment(s) being some stupid fucking karma farming pun or joke.

      I literally was looking up images of chocolate cake so I could find recipes and I clicked on a picture that led to a reddit post asking about a recipe that could make moist, dense chocolate cake. Just a normal request, what's a recipe for good fucking chocolate cake?

      The first 200+ comments on that post were all puns. I had to scroll all the way to the bottom to actually find people contributing actual recipes and techniques.

      God they are so fucking worthless.

      What alt- right purge.

      Any sub with the work "dank" "meme" or anything not explicitly political is full to the gills of the worst chids you could imagine.

      Just saw a post of some people nodding on hard drugs, comment section was upvoting people saying they were useless trash, somebody got downvoted for saying pharmaceuticals were to blame and the comment "there's no link between prescriptions and hard drug use" had dozen of upvotes

        That opinion is pretty common with liberals, especially if the person in question is homeless. There’s definitely been a purge and those that remain stay on meme subs or the 4chan-centric subs.

        The alt-right isn’t as strong on Reddit as the new alt-center neoliberals seem to be. A lot of the same opinions but with a thin layer of civility.
