I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The “home feed” shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it’s hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I’m not sure what’s up with that.

    I poked my head in yesterday and was scared away pretty quickly by the overwhelming shitty attitudes. I got the feeling that right-wingers are taking over.

      What exactly gives you that feeling? Can you link examples? Because reddit has gone so far left they are actually doing many of the things right-wingers are accused of. So in that respect, you are correct. On reddit you can be openly racist, as long as the target is a white person. You can’t say that biology and gender are separate categorizations. Calling yourself a woman does not make you a female. That is science. And it will get you insta-banned on hundred different subreddits if you say it. I learned from experience. It’s why I’m here.

      Racism. Rejection of science. Rejection of medicine. Sound familiar?

        Rejection of science, rejection of medicine

        Alright buddy, let’s see your degree. Surely your distinctly right wing views have nothing to do with the bans you’re catching. It must just be because you have an extensive background in gender studies and those fools can’t handle that.

        There’s no way that people don’t want you around because you’re claiming science supports a bigoted view you’re spreading, right?

          Hold out your hands with the backs facing you, have your thumb at a 90° angle to your index finger. The hand that forms a capital “L” is the left hand.

          For anyone not sure about right and left, left is almost always the right way to move.

        Rejection of science.

        The science and psychology communities, the people who actually study such things, are pro-trans rights.

        Rejection of medicine.

        Out of curiosity: what is your stance on the COVID vaccine?
