And you're pretending it's extremely left? Reddit was fairly middle road overall, but extremely polarizing in specific subs.
It's not extremely left, but it's overwhelmingly more left leaning than right leaning.
Not long ago I saw a post saying we must destroy every conservative in every way possible. Literally calling for the death of Republicans. It was highly upvoted. It did get removed eventually but still that is the general vibe of Reddit.
The slightest right-wing opinion is instantly met with 500 downvotes and 30 people responding with basically the exact same talking point against it. And no I'm not talking about the crazy bullshit like how abortion needs to be met with execution. Those people obviously rightly need to be shut the fuck down.
I'm liberal as fuck myself but even that place just annoyed this shit out of me with how it was about that.
