I can only speak about the subs I still frequent - I think overall you’re more likely to see more lefty pushback against certain narratives spread on the site since the CTH sub blew up. Anime and gaming subs have never been as accepting of LGBT folks for example. It’s still dogshit, but at least you can expect some upvotes for posting “trans rights.” :yea:
Since the ban though I feel like all the places that already were hostile or at least unwelcoming to Chapo posters and broadly left posting became even more lib/reactionary.
KiA and MRA subs and shit were always beyond help, but places like Gamerghazi became unbearable. That sub specifically recently added some mod that’s all in on the Corbyn/Labour antisemitism thing. And forget about Politics. You can still see a nice article about Sanders or Ocasio occasionally, but those nerds are full on blue MAGA and parrot everything they hear from MSNBC.
Yup. Anything that is actually on top or popular these days is just people jerking about "Orang Man Still Bad" or how just one dem senator is holding up literally everything. Or how Kamala/Joe did some wholesome, meaningless gesture. Then you flip to controversial sort and find articles with actual meat talking about how much of a clown Joe/Dem establishment are for various things.
Like for instance, today it was Kamala EMPHATICALLY telling Latin Americans not to come to the US
And they have kept Trump restrictions on Cuba, despite saying otherwise. And shit, that's just controversial today lmao. Meanwhile, top 5 of this week, for r/neoliberal2:
Sanders Reminds Americans not a single R voted for 1400
A lot of Dem voters didn't vote for that either, they voted for 2k
Big corps celebrate pride after donating to anti lgbtq politicians and orgs
The duality of mega-corporations
Nevada governor expands mail in voting
Oh god I'm gonna VOOOOOOOTEEE
Texas AG says trump might've lost Texas if they had mail in ballots more readily available
ORANG MAN BAD
JPMORGAN stops donating to GOP legislators who tried to overturn election
'Good' capitalism in action. So, 2 voting, 1 good capitalism, 1 on the 'promised' checks, and 1 about how megacorps are in it for the money. In summation: nothing remotely new, informative, or significant to anyone with a frontal lobe.
Maybe; I always feel like with r/politics, the presence of anything in the last election cycle not attributable to Biden is there because of Trump. To me, this was massive to them in the context of 'blue wave' and all of the 'Texas is finally gonna go blue' rhetoric, especially because they wanted it only as a repudiation of Trump and his politics (and nothing to do with helping the people of Texas or even necessarily the broader idea of electoral manipulation).

Their policy of instabanning anyone who doesn't toe the US state department's line on China didn't help, either.
Somehow they still tolerate me lmao

Oh yeah, and the Biden admin subpoenad journalist's calls

Swing and a miss on this one, comrade.
Otherwise, good summary.

Maybe that's too cynical of me though

Gamerghazi always kind of sucked. Ess users are very active and a lot of punching left.
