I left reddit because fuck them
I still read through reddit pages if they come up in search - there’s just too much useful info to ignore it. But I’m not going there directly
imo reddit as a whole is conservative. the userbase is center-left at the most visible and i regularly saw progressive opinions discarded or mocked. you’d expect the liberals to defend them at the least but i’d see less of that and they’d get dogpilled too.
What got me upset with reddit is how sensitive its algorithm is falsely flagging stuff inciting violence. And then you appeal and nothing happens. I even got banned once for saying the Second Ammendment applies to the left too. It’s like you are in a bad relationship, walking on eggshels.
One of the main reasons I left Reddit was because I suspect we’re very close to that exact scenario. I can’t prove it, but many interactions just seem suspicious.

Ditto. Use libreddit instances to read, but I do not feed the beast
Is it just me, or does r/all seem like it’s getting more conservative?

I’m center-right and I was witch hunted off of reddit. I’m sure the fact that I approved of Luigi didn’t help.
oh they hate when you say that there lmao
TBF, I am critical of Luigi and find myself having to tread on thin ice with my opinons

A lot of it is literal chat bots and not even real people
How long do you think it’ll be before it’s a network of AI echo chambers in which the majority of interactions are with bots?
