How a Reddit forum has become a lifeline to opioid addicts in the US

There are just as many if not more trump/hate subreddits. Some of them were always that way, some have been taken over.

Off the top of my head:

* /whiterights * /uncensorednews * /justiceserved * /conspiracy * /hillaryforprison * /physicalremoval

Most of the time when you notice overt bigotry on reddit, the user frequents t_d or one of those subs, or the similar clones that are now all over reddit.

There's an absolutely incredible amount of overt white nationalism and calls for violence and even mass ethnic cleansing on Reddit today.

I would highlight https://reddit.com/r/europeannationalism/ as the very worst of it.

They've also taken over the mod teams of extremely large and supposedly politically neutral subs like https://reddit.com/r/uncensorednews/ (every single mod there is also a mod of /r/europeannationalism).

Check https://reddit.com/r/againsthatesubreddits/ for a running log of much, much more.

And for every one open nazi, there's a dozen more concern-trolling, brigading, vote-manipulating, and quietly recruiting more people towards the fucking genocidal far-right.

It's getting so bad that at it will soon be hard to defend Reddit's admins from charges of complicity.
