If you have to completely black out all opinions to the contrary, you’re not a free speech platform.

      Reddit is just one of the symptoms. Think of it as a modern version of Die Stürmer

        I know, Reddit disappearing wouldn’t fix the world’s geopolitical problems but I do think it is at the very least serving as a major catalyst for brainrot as opposed just being a mere symptom. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit and other similar social media platforms played a key role in making the populations of Finland and Sweden want to join NATO.

          tbf Sweden has been a NATO member in all but name since forever. So much so, that in case of nculear exchange the US Air Force planned to relocate from Germany (to be glassed) to Sweden and fight from there. Sweden now joining is just making things official.

      And totalitarianism is when you allow your opposition to call for seccesion of certain regions.

    I wonder what kind of offers you get when moderating a sub as large as r/pics. There must be actual government instances willing to offer you some sort of deal to control the narrative or buy your account or something.

      Otherwise no sane person would do this kind of shit, with this kind of language. There has to be some sort of conspiracy behind it.
