Reddit is sounding more right-wing as time goes on
Reddit is sounding more right-wing as time goes on
So many people were bootlicking Andy Yen in the Reddit thread. Where the commenters were attacking the poster for suggesting that he should resign from the ceo position for praising Donald Trump and then doubling down on the original statement using the official proton account.
Not surprising.
Left-leaning people already left, this is to be expected
When I check the subreddits from my country its mostly left content. I really don't have that feeling although I think its not as politically onesided as it is here
The majority of reddit content is bots, shills, and astroturfing
And there is some people who still use it (30%?).
It's also still very progressive. If reddit is considered conservative to you, you may be very far left.
most people on lemmy are delusional
It used to be center left but not anymore
There are also several posts on whether or not Elon Musk did the Nazi salute (many of which are denying it) and being against women.
AND deranged. I posted a comment about the blow back that seniors are going to feel from the disruption among staffing in the caregiving field, and got banned from a sub, along with comments that I was "calling for elder abuse". It was fun while it lasted, but I am DONE looking forward to watching Lemmy explode
Reddit has always been right wing. I've seen the comments on us arabs on terrorist attacks. Fucking disgusting.
Once upon a time I got called a terrorist WHILE I was performing on a community theater stage. The bright spot was how quickly my fellow actors and the rest of the patrons shut that down
please, dont go on Instagram reels.
Has it, or were there always pockets of all kinds of schools of thought? It seemed that way to me at least until Spez decided money was more important than anything else and a good chunk of the left-leaners decided they'd be better off elsewhere.
That's not a pejorative, by the way. I'm a left-leaner. And I, well, left.
I'd say i'm very left wing, too. But reddit always felt off to me, like i wasn't meant to be there. I see why now, due to them saying this stuff about us when they can.
but the majority are just conservatives/faux-liberals who'd sell you out and your race for their own convenience, anyway.
It was much less overt and fascistic in like 2011, fuck I’m old
The racism is definitely there, you can scroll like three posts on trending and there it is again. One of the main reasons I left.
I was going to screenshot some examples from a single thread, but there were too fucking many. Holy shit.
No, it has not. And it's still very progressive.
progressive
??? If reddit is progressive then 4chan is moderate.
Ffs, they even push anti semitic conspiracy theories saying to watch europa.

Reddit is a shell now, and they're desperately filling it with AI.
Old search results, mostly.
All of this is gibberish to me, and yet it makes perfect sense.
