It definitely has gotten much worse in the last few years. From Spez silent-editing users posts, to reddit employing an "Anti-Evil Operations team". I've been using reddit since ~2012.
They never recovered from the Diggification. So weird to remember it from 2010 and think that it would eventually host the_donald and other white supremacy subreddits that sealed its Eternal September.
>the_donald and other white supremacy subreddits
The Donald wasn't a white supremacist subreddit.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that instead of arguing in bad faith, you're just incredibly gullible.
Well I suppose if you are a redditor you will probably see the white supremacist boogeyman everywhere.
I used "lately" in order to avoid having a back and forth debate about a specific timeframe. The heavy information manipulation has been happening for years, but it feels especially strong since 2018. I know it was happening well before that but the admins and powermods have been especially craven as of this last year.
