Social Media Reddit Is Restricting Luigi Mangione Discourse—but It’s Even Weirder Than That: The website is attacking the users that made it the front page of the internet.

That sub is really cooked. Another sub that is cooked is r/genz , and r/Orangecounty recently got cooked as well

r/Canada and most Canada-based subs have been taken over by white supremacists and Russian trolls... which I guess now that I think of it was a fun bit of foreshadowing for things to come...

It hasn't, unless your personal overton window has shifted so far that neutral discussion mentally flags as taking sides. I pop in to read threads once or twice a week, and often see highly-upvoted replies from both ends of the political spectrum.

Then again, it might be an accidental side effect based on which threads we each choose to look at. Some might be biased more one way or the other. Still enough that in my anecdotal experience, it's nowhere near "taken over".
