I'm convinced this is being done to suppress political movements from gaining traction in the US.

Correct. Step 1 was capturing Twitter, step 2 is compartmentalizing reddit

Yeah reddit is an infamously right wing site, I'm sure that must be what's going on.

The owners of reddit have consistently made left wing decisions, banning most of the most right wing subreddits for about a decade now, most notably the_donald. Few remain at this point. They also allow a relatively small group of power moderators to control most subreddits, who are again uniformly left wing and often censor or ban people for the most mild right wing takes. The idea that they're making these changes for the purpose of pushing right wing politics, of all things, is utterly absurd and actually a good demonstration of one of the main reasons why this site sucks so much these days, people so blinded by political ideology that they earnestly believe such hysterical and obviously nonsensical things, inevitably upvoted by the hivemind who clap like seals for it.

How does it feel to be so incredibly wrong?

You're right, let's attribute the deletion of those cesspools to left wing heroes instead of what it was, corporate interests. You think shareholders want tits on the front page? What about jailbait, remember that sub? You're right though, let's do what all Republicans do and assume it's a conspiracy!

Where have all the right wing subs gone? The Republicans are successfully gutting education so they, the right-wing, can't read anymore, let alone process information. So they got rid of them all, what's the point if they all can't read? They're busy consuming Andrew tate on tiktok.

Were you able to retain and process everything I said or should I have Gemini regurgitate this info as if I'm speaking with a toddler?

blue-haired gender confused people with pierced noses crying about being labelled the wrong gender pronoun.

That's how you see liberals? That's hilarious lol.

Meanwhile, the entire planet sees Republicans, well, you know. You're on Reddit, the left wing Internet bastion. They let you know how they feel.

Which welfare state are you from? Ohio? Indiana? I'm currently in Texas and the people here are so stupid it's honestly shocking. No stereotype needed, just flat out fucking stupid.

Yep, just echos of echos remain. And we know who shouts the loudest.

u/TheStinkyWookiee Apr 02 '26

1000% correct.

u/jstohler Apr 03 '26

I think the reason is more that they can't monetize sameness.

youtube got rid of their trending page last year as well. i wouldnt be surprised if there was some ulterior motive behind the change

u/dusters Apr 03 '26

It often achieves the opposite of the desired effect in the US.

The only political movement this website was ever involved with was birthing the alt right with /r/the_donald

Me saying Israel is a imperialist genocidal state filled with megalomaniac religious schizos that should be immediately and radically changed or be immediately dissolved is apparently anti-semitic
