I know we pretty much all hated spez for all the shit he pulled, but a few weeks ago the tone towards reddit itself around here was more neutral. People liked it here on Lemmy a lot better, but people weren’t hating on the old place so much.
Recently I’m seeing this huuuuuuuge surge of just pure fucking hatred leveled at the site itself. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?
I mean, I was there because I thought it was alright. I hated spez for fucking it up and completely screwing his communities over. But I never hated reddit itself, and I still don’t. Otherwise I would’ve left a lot sooner.
Do you personally hate reddit? If so, why?
I’m not saying anything about being “too woke”, no. I’m saying it’s too political now, being run by mods and admin that push their political agendas and censor and ban everyone they disagree with. It goes both ways, “far left” and “far right”. It just so happens though that the admins have made the site rules more “far left” meaning unless you play along with their talking points and ideologies you get banned.
Yeah gotta say man, this is just “Reddit is too woke.” Do you have any evidence for this sudden change and some coordinated effort by mods and Admins to “censor“ opinions?
This is the exact thing you see in liberal circles - just say any objections to the politics is complaining about “being too woke”.
I’m basing it off literally seeing things people get banned for. You can see all comments that get removed by admins/mods by going to reveddit.com. You get banned for “hate speech” for daring to say something as controversial as biological males shouldn’t compete in sports against biological females.
I’m not a conservative btw. Have never voted for the Conservative Party in my country. I’ve voted for our “far left” independents more than I’ve voted for even our regular “liberals”.
As I said, Reddit has gotten too political across the board, irrespective of which way it leans. If they banned people for being pro abortion I’d be against that since I’m pro abortion rights. It’s just a fact that Reddit leans very left in its moderation.
I’ll ask you a question - do you think it was a conservative or a liberal that made “misgendering” a hate speech violation and ban worthy on Reddit?
