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.

      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.

      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

              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.

      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
