@RedGlow@mastodon.gamedev.place Not to argue against anything you've said, but it is worth pointing out that the rightward slant of Reddit comes straight from the top. The administrators of the platform endeavor to nurture an environment which smothers radicalism, and it has driven many anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist communities off the platform through multiple bans, "quarantines," shadow-bans, and complex browser fingerprint based surveillance mechanisms. The reactionary views frequently promoted on Reddit are the product of several years of cultivation.

@porkroll@toots.matapacos.dog That is true too! There are connections and influences between the way reddit handles moderation, how every single subreddit mod team handles the discourse inside it, and which is the cultural background that a community grows out of, and they are definitely worth investigating and important in different ways.
