Let us not forget
Reddit CEO: ‘I’m confident that Reddit could sway elections’
- u/spez (the ultra libtard scumbag)
https://www.yahoo.com/news/reddit-ceo-m-confident-reddit-could-sway-elections-195235415.html
I hope he bans me someday for continuously reposting this. It'll justify no longer spending ad money on the platform .

u/Uncaring_Dispatcher Jan 17 '25
I will join your Crusade!
Yeah, it's annoying if I say something that's even slightly within the DMZ between Conservative and Liberal and get shadow-banned for 3 days.
I got banned from r/liberalgunowners for a while for saying that I disagree with any politician, Liberal or Conservative, who would restrict our Second Amendment Rights. Makes no sense.

u/redcat111 Jan 18 '25
God, I’d love to see a Reddit without the leftist algorithm. A RedditX.

u/Klonoadice Jan 18 '25
It used to be that way before 2016 (or at least not as obviously biased as it is now.)
Thedonald was hitting the front page on a regular basis.
That's when scumbag u/spez took action and altered the algorithm to deprioritize right wing subs.
He's a corrupt loser. Doesn't matter if he's rich and successful in that way. A lack of integrity is a failure regardless of financial wealth. He doesn't deserve respect for the abuse of his power.
Hope he gets investigated soon. At least the best part is his libtarded platform couldn't keep Trump out of office this time around, so he not only abused his power but failed at accomplishing the goals he set out to achieve with that abuse.
Double time loser.

Unfollowed everything else even stuff like r/pics because it’s nothing but political bullshit now and will be for the rest of time.

Absolutely. I honestly think the existence of /politics is pointless as it stands due to Reddit being left leaning, so automatically it's just a left wing subreddit. No one wants to be outed as a republican because they'll get downvoted or banned for it. Silencing is one of two main reasons for the extreme bias, i think.
I can literally have a casual conversation with a leftist in real life, we disagree which I'm not upset about.

Very likely true on some of them, look at the pride-themed Christianity subreddit whose primary moderator is tagged as atheist. It's obvious they want to control all narratives and have nothing better to do than sit indoors clicking moderator action buttons.

I want to comment on why these policies, and you can read what some of them support, I mean to some of these it’s beyond what you think. These people also try to influence their beliefs on anyone, from governments, to people, to anyone else. Some of it is just pure lunacy. Unfortunately, they don’t tolerate opinions against what they believe. It’s sad, because public health isn’t a one size fits all approach.

Agreed. I like it because it's the only place I can talk about politics in anonymity without risk to my business. It doesn't bother me that most I interact with are left wing.

u/NonNPC_MaxLevel Jan 16 '25

Look outside and general subs, pics, bumper stickers, fluent in finance (oddly) as examples of general topics.

u/UsernamesMeanNothing Jan 16 '25
Agreed. Fluent in Finance was a funny one. I joined because the topic seemed great, but it turned out to just be laughable people who had no concept of economics and finance. I finally muted the sub. I like the entrepreneur and business groups because they tend to be more middle of the road and when politics come up, it isn't just a bunch of nonsense.

Is that a reasonable disagreement?

u/Tswombo10 Jan 16 '25 edited Jan 16 '25
Quit deflecting lol. Tell it like it is. None of that was the reason any of those traitors stormed the capitol. It was because MAGAs cult leader fucking lost. Period. Trump was a little baby and couldn't handle losing so he told his followers to do the work for him and take over the capitol. They killed cops, they threatened the VICE PRESIDENT in mass, and destroyed our country's capitol building. People like you and MAGA give us Republicans a bad fucking name with your lying and bullshit. Grow up pls.
You mean people wanting to defend the country like our former patriots who founded the country?
Just wanted to add. You seriously think the people who founded our country would be proud of people trying to overturn our election, a fair election (proven in dozens of investigations). Also while chanting to HANG THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY because he wouldn't certify a fair election. That's just delusional and ignorant af and again makes Republicans look terrible. Thank God Mike Pence is an upstanding, respectful and honorable person, who respects our democracy and upholds its values, even when his own party is literally chanting to hang him. That's a true Republican and citizen of the United States of America. Big respect for Pence.
Edit: Also wanted to add the only person arrested for tampering with the election in 2020 was Tina Peters a MAGA Republican, who tampered with voting machines illegally.

Mate I go off facts. Plain and simple. I highly recommend you do the same you will learn a lot!

Every fucking machine on this planet can be hacked, don't know if you knew that. I never said that the voting machines couldn't be hacked. I recommend you learn how to read as well. I said that the only people that were found to be tampering with the election was a MAGA Republican Tina Peters in 2020 lol.
I guess I'm not allowed to express myself in any way that goes against what you believe is that what you're trying to tell me?
It's not what I believe it's what I know. Everything I said was proven to be true. You can believe what you want I don't give a damn. But maybe when what you believe is wrong and have been proven so. You might want to learn how to have an open-mind and accept when you are wrong, it makes you a better person and human being in general!
Do you mean when the capital police let them in?
I saved the stupidest claim for last lol. Are you daft? So because the capitol police who were out numbered 300-1 couldn't hold back a violent erratic mob of traitors who were actively assaulting them and even caused the deaths of several of them, couldn't hold them back that means that everything else the traitors did is completely fine? Threatening the Vice president of the United States, destroying our capitol and attacking police officers. Wtf is wrong with you? Please read that however many times you need to to understand that everything that happened that day is fucking insane and goes against everything the founding fathers stood for. I shouldn't even have to say that shit. I thought Republicans stood with the police? I thought we were against violence? Yet here you are making excuses for police getting assaulted and murdered, the VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES BEING THREATENED, literally a mob of people chanting to HANG OUR VICE PRESIDENT, AND destroying the capitol building of the United States. Fucking delusional and ignorant af.
