What about Reddit

[-] Igloojoe@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Reddit has always been democratic. Theres some offshoot subreddits that are a cesspool for republicans. But they isolate themselves.

I meant as part of creating and fostering gamergate. The GG subreddit was pretty big. And talking about Trump, /r/TheDonald was pretty big and fairly influential, as far as subreddits go.

TheDonald was big, but every single place outside of their safespace alliance hated them. They only existed in places were they could ban leftist. Everywhere else was EXTREMELY overwhelmingly Democratic.

Im unfamiliar with gamergate. The internet says it was 4chan and other trolls. And like i said those subreddits were isolated in my viewpoint. /trump and all other conservative communities would commonly ban anyone with a different opinion than the hive mind. No room for discussion. /news was always posting stories of republicans being shitheads. And people wouldnt get banned for just having an opinion, theyd just get downvoted into oblivion.

Atleast this was all how i tailored my reddit feed when i used. I had no desire to see bullshit lies from republican news sites. So maybe my viewpoint was mostly democratic...

I didn't mean they represented a common sentiment or viewpoint, rather that Reddit was an important platform for them
