Now Reddit’s not just promoting ragebait and AI generated stories, but divisive conservative rhetoric. Anyone else notice the non-political subreddits spontaneously hosting a population of chuds and propagandists where a few weeks ago they weren’t tolerated?

Has reddit changed the algorithm? Has some nation begun its bot operation? Has reddit deployed bots at musk’s behest? Has twitter sent its worst users to brigade? (All of twitter’s users are its worst users) I don’t know, but the effect is striking. All I’m certain about is that I’m avoiding reddit even harder now.

    IMO yall just make r/pics and the rest of the political echo-chamber subreddits look bad. People want pics and not fucking politics when there go to r/pics! If it was something like r/politicspics, I’d get it. But there people are literally drowning actual pics with leftist propaganda. Just imagine how you would feel if r/pics was posting only pro-Trump and pro-Elon pics. You would be outraged and realize how dumb it is that 90% of pics are politics on there. It’s one of the most disgusting subreddits by far (IMO).

      You‘re not getting the point.

      If the current trajectory continues, you will still be able to continue posting to r/pics, but only as long and you dont offend the government. As long as you arent a person deemed unfit for the country (think minorities).

      We‘re all heading to full blown fascist autocracy, worldwide. And those protesting it dont give a shit if you think „leftism“ looks bad. You‘re talking about non-fascism btw. Maybe start reading about fascism in history. It always „looked good“, but its horrendous behind closed doors.

      We‘re not going to accept this, are you?

      Places are already being occupied. Soon people will start disrupting the economy. Economic blackout day is being planned on feb 23, here‘s some info about it: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220000520.

      After that, there will ne strikes, your trash will fill up, electricity will go out. We will ruin the whole system until we can eject the fascists from our governments. If that means war, so be it.
