You might want to subscribe to different subreddits.

Okay, "LGBTQ loving" just makes you sound incredibly hateful

I agree with the general overall point, certain views get banned, they took down nonewnormal while allowing bots in r/coronavirus to flourish, and other examples I can think of

But you... just sound like you're not valid at all, when you lead off like that

there is no way bro is mentally stable w a comment like that

prob one of the Q anon and anti-vaxxer types who keeps Alex Jones websites bookmarked and only gets their news from real-patriots-of-america-news.info

Yet, you are the one attacking people because they observe a trend/propaganda. I never called anyone mentally unstable. You straight-up attack personally. Shame on you, go meditate and self-reflect.

Yeah but see, I don't agree with that side of things either

This idea that because a) you lean one way means you support all these other things and b) that those things are even wrong all the time

Given what's come out about (say) the covid vaccine (which isn't a real vaccine), I am an anti-vaxxer. (And someone like Kennedy isn't so much anti-vaccine as he's concerned about the lack of liability of the manufacturers, with clear historical examples of how it went wrong)

This kind of attitude (especially because many of you are technologists) is what leads to censorship on Youtube and people like Susan Wojcicki

Yeah, downvote actual medical evidence, by experts

If you consider reddit to be hardcore-leftist, you'll find plenty of like-minded people on 4chan.

Try saying something patriotic on reddit and see how fast you will get downvoted to hell.

It has nothing to do with reddit being 'hardcore-leftist' as you put it, and more to do with the sad state of the US nowadays. Also, try saying anything remotely moderate on any right-leaning sub and see how that works. Really depends on the sub you're browsing.

Also, my anecdotal experience is very different than yours: not a day goes by without me reading some imbecilic comment about american exceptionalism, and where other idiots (I think you'd call them "patriots") gather to upvote/outbid said comment, particularly on large subs.

There are plenty of people saying something patriotic on reddit and getting a ton of upvotes

you aren't a patriot tho if you hate gay people

you are actually the opposite of a patriot lol

Who said I hate gay people? I am saying what the trends and narratives are. I feel like HN users don't know how to read and understand comments.

When listing off your complaints, that it was "LGBTQ-loving" was one of them. Like what's wrong with a site being in favor of LGBTQ people?

I have known Reddit for the last 2 decades, and the LGBTQ community was never promoted like this before. I just see blatant propaganda, that's it.

Same thing would have happened to you 15 years ago on reddit

I've been on Reddit almost since day 1. It was not like this.

The best thing they ever did in those early days was remove /r/atheism from the default subs. Good lord what a cesspool (and I'm not a theist!).

I dunno. The only reason I registered an account was to remove /r/atheism from the front page (also not a theist).

Reddit always conflated patriotism to cringe and was always very liberal and progressive.

They’re are plenty of bigot-loving Reddit clones, if that’s your thing.

No, my thing is free internet. Not bigot-loving or hardcore leftist sites. On Reddit, if you say anything that is not leftist, you will get banned or deleted these days. I am a liberal, not left or right wing.
