12 year old account got permabanned for telling a Nazi off. But even before this happened I’ve noticed how much reddit has dropped off the last few years compared to when I discovered it.

    True but point of OP is that it used to be liberal echo chamber but that has now changed.

    Clearly Elon wants it a different way so you post anything you like as long as it fits Elon’s desired narrative.

      It didn’t start as an echo chamber. Initially it was one of the few places online a progressive minded person could go and feel like they could express their opinions openly. And by “progressive” I mean both left and right leaning ideologies.

      Which, funny enough is now a foreign concept. We call everyone on the left “progressive”, even though Biden and Kamala are clearly conservative Democrats. And we call Vance a “conservative” even though he’s clearly a progressive Republican.

        Yep, absolutely. I lean right but fucking hate Trump. On lemmy I can say that, on old reddit I could say that, on current reddit I’ll get really nasty, hateful remarks and almost zero open dialogue

        reddit holding to subs, like conservative, and a different donald sub+cospniracy, newnormal, trueunpopularopinion was a red flag.
