It's funny because I'm always seeing Redditors whine that Reddit has a super left-wing majority
"Yeah man, everything started going to shit when the commie liberals banned /r/C**nTown"
I didn't even think of that, haha. Glad you commented so others are less confused!
Remember when they made a baby talk subreddit so they could be racist?
we all want to live in the world that right-wingers think they're living in
I saw a comment in a /r/politics thread where someone said "this sub leans so far left that it might as well be laying on its side".
Pretty sure the thread was about something imperialistic that Biden was doing.
Ive been using reddit for like over 10 years, and in the past year i got banned from virtually every major subreddit lol, even including big leftists ones. Reddit is an alright idea in theory, but moderators just being able to do whatever they want ruins it entirely. I also got a last warning from admins cause i posted a "death to america" comment lol
Reddit is an alright idea in theory
Moar like an alt right idea, amirite?
lol it certainly attracts the worst people somehow, but the idea that users just get to decide what should be seen and talked about certainly even now brings up to the front page good posts and news articles still
The only major sub I've been banned from is worldnews because I personally insulted someone who said the old man burning HK rioters were peaceful protestors, but I recently got a site wide suspension for a month old comment where I told someone not to post Tom Fowdy tweets because he was outed for soliciting child porn from a teenager on Twitter.
Apparently somehow that's harassment.
Reddit fell when they bothsidesd the liberal subreddit r/Cth with the Donald.
:fidel-layup:
there's only two things I like in Reddit:
1 - niche and hobby subreddits, like /r/coffee, /r/roasting, /r/bodyweightfitness, /r/woodworking and so on
2 - watching /r/brasil getting radicalized in real-time :sicko-blur:
everything else is pretty much milquetoast lib garbage at best, mask-off fascist at worse
and even the hobby subreddits can be hit or miss depending on how insular they act. r/collapse is absolutely blackpilled doomers but probably the most based leftist space left. although the ecofash are steadily increasing in number but generally get downvoted into oblivion.
I stuck around for hobbies and nerd stuff but even that has really lost its appeal. It's the same circle jerk all the time and no one has anything interesting to say.
I quit when I started seeing compass memes in the hobbie subs. Revolting stuff
And redditors won't care unless said policy director is at least 1/16th Chinese.
They do like doing blood quanta and other caliper stuff for some reason :reddit-logo:
Yeah they were "captured." They totally meant to create this free speech platform curated by users and not a giant fucking ad box that disguises manipulation as organic content. Some big bad evil thing made them take all that money and expand and take on investors. It totally wasn't several Sillicon Valley douches trying to figure out how to make money from the very beginning and then hiding behind their dead friend before staging a coup so they could cash in. Nope. Reddit was good, really. It was a noble website for noble free speech users such as myself who love democratic content.
FUCK YOU OP. OP IS A WUMAO SHILL FROM THE 50 CENT ARMY
REDDIT IS CONTROLLED BY CHINA, TENCENT OWNES 0.5% OF IT'S MARKET CAP
It's so astroturfed at this point the only benefit of reddit is finding communities for obsucre things you might be into.
I follow the news defaults literally for the sole reason of keeping track of what propaganda narrative is trending
unfortunately I think right wingers do this better. Maybe they have more resources but who knows
I wonder if some of those hack writers at like The Federalist are also like expected to go edit Wikipedia articles and/or post on reddit or some shit. Or maybe they've got a farm league of posters from which they call up the good ones to actually be published.
I actually didn't know this but it makes a fucking lot of sense considering how much Reddit in general has aligned with the Democratic Party ideological consensus, especially with how pro-imperialism, anti-Russia and anti-China the site has become. The whiplash is especially alarming if you were around between 2013-2016 when GamerGate started the reactionary wave that culminated in Trump.
For a long time the ideological bent of the site depended on the community, but in general over the course of the Trump era the liberals have absolutely become hegemonic site-wide, save for the islands of reaction that have yet to be banned and where the Trump cultists have fled, like /r/conservative or /r/jordanpeterson
Silicon Valley has pretty openly jumped in bed with the Democrats for a couple years now
Well yeah, republicans are all over the place and fuck things up in term of investment in pure finance. Tecb hate trade wars because software that's cloud based doesn't care where you are from as long as the check clears.
Yeah. It's all about making a safe space for Diet Coke ads. That's the dominant ideology of the tech industry. :zizek-ok:
I used to go argue on /r/conservative around the trump inauguration. It was crazy to watch it go from the kinda conservative where they're a bit reactionary but mostly reaganite to full on trump chuds. They used to actually try to talk through their views and make conversation. Then they just got mad when you went away from the talking points. Then I got banned.
Why is my first reaction to this to assume that they're fash and whining about the CPC, (((globalists))), or both?
Oh it's because I've used reddit. Fuck.
edit: Okay maybe they aren't fash. Is that shirt leather or waxed cotton? Looks nice.
Yeah he seems good, I've never encountered this guy before although the name sounds familiar.
He's got a show called Redacted Tonight that goes out as a podcast. Before Covid he did it in front of an audience, and it's essentially the daily show but with actual intelligent and informed takes from a leftist perspective.
Eh, still a strong chance of being a right-winger. The BAP crowd doesn't like NATO either.
Definitely a left-winger and he's even the best kind of left-winger, that is to say the anti-imperialist kind. He's called out the NED and Zenz on his show.
Whatever he may be, his message contained in this tweet is good, so I have no problem signal boosting it.
What's BAP?
Lee Camp is fine. Better than Dore, IMO. In that he is both a relatively funny comedian, and that he never shilled for Tulsi.
Like if Hasan Minhaj was less charismatic, but also read theory.
Yeah, directed and produced while Jenny Slate wrote it and played Marcel.
Anders Lee from Pod Damn America has a segment on that show, so I assume they are at least left leaning.
I don't watch regularly but for the most part Redacted Tonight seems pretty alright.
You mean the organization leading the anti-China crusade is closely tied to R*ddit's censor? No way! How could we have known????
We all hate the place. But stupid poll is now having a grill pill summer. Aka no posting out side of megathreads. This also came to being right around the same time I noticed the sub getting much more active
"not all socialists are petit bourgeois failsons!...oh noooooo this sub"
