What is wrong with Reddit?
I recently made a Reddit account. The site has many posts with very active users. I have found there is a subreddit for a variety of interests and subjects.
It has also come to my attention that the users are very conventional and orthodox. Today I encountered a thread about Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán, which has 15 comments so far. It features an article saying that Ursula von der Leyen “attacked” Orbán for his support of Russia in her speech to European Parliament. In every comment, users were expressing a dislike of Viktor Orbán and Russia. In separate posts, I have been called a “conspiracy theorist” twice in one day. It is ok, I am happy to be a conspiracy theorist.
It seems to me that Reddit, with its very large amount of western users coming from liberal countries, is not a dynamic site with regard to political perspective or opinion, or views on social matters. Where is their passion? Why aren't they using their brains to think about things?
