    Are you somebody who only went to the subreddits like the Donald? Reddit is basically half a step away from being the liberal version of stormfront. Now that we left the place are we just going to pretend it’s everything we’ve always hated? Is that where we are now?

    It does seem that way. I remember just a few days ago I saw a post saying that reddit would never stop praising Elon Musk

      And you’re pretending it’s extremely left? Reddit was fairly middle road overall, but extremely polarizing in specific subs.

        Not long ago I saw a post saying we must destroy every conservative in every way possible. Literally calling for the death of Republicans. It was highly upvoted. It did get removed eventually but still that is the general vibe of Reddit.

        The slightest right-wing opinion is instantly met with 500 downvotes and 30 people responding with basically the exact same talking point against it. And no I’m not talking about the crazy bullshit like how abortion needs to be met with execution. Those people obviously rightly need to be shut the fuck down.

        I’m liberal as fuck myself but even that place just annoyed this shit out of me with how it was about that.

        It’s not extremely left, but it’s overwhelmingly more left leaning than right leaning.
