    That’s an interesting take. I would have thought that reddit trended left previously and just shifted further left over time.

      I am seeing open racism more than ever on reddit.

      It probably has something to do with the type of crowd that reddit promotes. More controversial takes probably get boosted more because they draw more eyes for more time. They’re trying to copy Meta.

        its alot things being called “woke”, whataboutism,etc. the bots trying to disguise it as a both sides issue mos tof the time.

      • Oh yea, I see a lot of anti-Muslim anti-Indian sentiments when it comes to immigration. I also saw anti-Chinese sentinments, as in actual Sinophobia, and not merely just anti-CCP/anti-PRC, and as someone who’s ethnic Chinese, I feel very uncomfortable with reddit.

          coincides with the recent tariffs, and h1b visa issues, no doubt. which is likely being pushed by palintir, Israeli and russia.

          People are so easily swayed by hate that’s marketed towards them.

          Anti-Indian has been such a recent phenomenon. Indians were a model minority only a few years ago. Lol. “Look at them! Why can’t you be like them!”

          And don’t you dare compliment any chinese military gear on defence subreddits.

          Even with muslims - It’s been recent, more in the past 30 years than ever before.

          Fucking losers. Dunk on others to feel better about their own pathetic lives.

      there is still some on the left, but it seems like its just for appearances by reddit, they allow enough to look fair, while they allow right wing propaganda to astroturf the comments of any subs to hell.
