    PSA: The shitty website this person mentioned bears NO RESEMBLANCE to reddit.

    It’s always been S---------- 2.0 anyway

    that is a really fucked up thing to say. idk who you are or what are your motivations.

    making an equivalency between reddit and a 100% white supremacist nazi website is:

    a) promoting that website

    b) saying that website is similar to reddit. Does S----------- have the variety of users and topics as reddit? No! Whatever your criticism of reddit, however over tolerant reddit was of some really shitty communities, it was not founded explicitly and exclusively as a way of promoting genocide and violence.

    Your comparison serves only to uplift S------------. Which may or may not be your intention.

      It’s been overrun by white supremacists since I first joined in 2011, and that’s never changed.

      Check any popular sub on r/all, and they’re the prevailing voice that’s never silenced. r/PublicFreakout, r/mildlyinfuriating, r/interestingasfuck, r/AskReddit and r/unpopularopinion are just a few examples of subreddits where white supremacists run rampant. It’s so bad that I deleted my first account due to receiving weekly homophobic death threats, which went ignored by the mods and admins.

      Reddit has always been a bastion of white supremacy and pedophilia under the guise of “free speech.” That’s demonstrably true. The whole “leans left” thing is just more propaganda.

      Edit: I maintain that reddit was founded specifically to platform hate speech. It’s certainly been consistently pursuing that goal

      But you are correct in saying that reddit is not the same as Stormfront. It is much worse than Stormfront in that most users don’t perceive the white supremacist subtext in the majority of threads on popular subs
