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
Why ya reading it?
Reddit is a shell now, and they’re desperately filling it with AI.
Old search results, mostly.
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
All of this is gibberish to me, and yet it makes perfect sense.
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.
It used to be center left but not anymore
most people on lemmy are delusional
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
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.
It’s a garbage site full of garbage people. Except for the people that I like on Reddit.
Garbage people? Dude, you’re hateful.
I guess you are really in tune with jokes. I thought that was obvious to most everybody
My joke missed. I meant it as if you were upset with your local garbage men. I see now that it wasn’t clear and it feels bad, man. I WAS drunk when posting this though.
I don’t remember writing anything and I think I passed out before the last few minutes of the game.
Lions fan here. I feel you, bro.
Back at you. These playoff losses make me more depressed than usual for like a week
I mean, all the leftists on Reddit… left.
Exactly over 2 years now I far left and got the fuck off Reddit. Soon as RIF died I left.

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.

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’m not much of a reddit defender as i pretty much left this place same time as everybody else. However there’s always been a very clear trend in this kind of subreddits. Places like “noahgettheboat” or “iamapieceofshit” or “thatsinsane” systematically attract the worst kind of misanthropic low-lifes. People will see the most abject violence and laugh “haha he fucked around and found out” and of course this makes the most fascistic types feel at home.
I don’t think they are representative of the overall slant of the community. Most places are progressive by default.

That’s why it’s important to heavily curate your corporate social media feed. If you see a community where this kind of comments are heavily upvoted just hide it and move on, there’s not that many and most of the niche interests are still relatively clean places.
It was much less overt and fascistic in like 2011, fuck I’m old
How is reddit right wing? Half of the posts on there bashes Trump, and praise Biden.
I’m left wing, and it feels like most of reddit has become a left wing echo chamber
Spoiler alert: Biden isn’t left wing
What is left wing?
No, it has not. And it’s still very progressive.

Cherry picking comments isn’t a good argument.

So? There’s hundreds of thousands comments daily that are liberal comments. Where even are these comments you found posted? You may have had a bad experience, but most of reddit is very liberal.
It is objectively very liberal.

I didn’t mention any post, I’m not sure what you are talking about. Honestly, dude, maybe you should just stop going there?
Hell, maybe even just get off the internet for awhile. You’re downvoting comments you don’t agree with and arguing over stupid shit. Move on.
Ngl, after reading most comments you seem like the only other person with a brain in this thread.
I don’t know what website these people are on. It’s straight up liberal all the way down the line. I can’t believe my eyes.
Anything not communist is far right to these people.
please, dont go on Instagram reels.
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
