> The subreddits for my local city are slowly turning into a weird BLM/Nextdoor hybrid though. Any mention of cops results in an endless parade of ACAB/bootlicker comments and most of the rest of the content is nitpicky complaints.

I would ask if we live in the same city, but I think this is every city subreddit now.

I once engaged with a seemingly deranged and very politically opinionated individual in a Canadian subreddit.

I later found out that person is somehow a moderator on nearly every city/town-specific subreddit across the entire country. Easily 40-50. Spending something like 10 hours a day banning people and deleting threads/comments according to their narrow view of how people should think and what news is worthy of being seen, even though they clearly had no ties to the locals.
