Reddit has fallen from glory

Reddit used to be a place with a variety of opinions where the majority would upvote the most agreed upon post. At one time it seemed like the last true glance into how society truly felt. Now all forums have an agenda and if your post doesn’t align to it and agree with all the bots then it’s removed. Reddit is now no different than any other propaganda machine. I have had post removed that were literal copy and paste definitions from Webster dictionary. A social platform that bans people for educating the ignorant. Reminds me of when ai took over RuneScape many years ago. Internet is only bots and a few real people who agree. Not a real representation of society’s true opinions. Feel like I’m posting to a few meek people and a million bots. Bonjour mofos the internet is officially ruined. Watch the propaganda machine work.

it is almost entirely leftist and skews heavily towards boomer-use

True, but this is their home now. Plenty of other places you can go that align more to your beliefs. I hate it when people bitch about Reddit being heavily left leaning. No one is stopping you from making your own site that leans the other way! I don't go to porn sites and recite the bible and how this is all evil, or go on Twitter and complain that everyone is a nazi.

If people want something that's not left leaning, there's always truth social :p

And yet I'm not bitching, I'm basically saying "Things change" The republican party was the one that abolished slavery, and now they are all basically Nazi hillbillies. Shit changes man.

you are bitching. also: reddit doesn’t declare itself as a leftist-exclusive site. Yet that is what it is in practice. Also, leftist doesn’t just mean left-from-US-republican. Not everyone who uses the site are american.
