Is this really true? I quit Reddit years ago, even though some of the tech specific subs were awesome. Just couldn't stand supporting a site where the mods were so abusive. I remember the tipping point was a guy on there talking about "Foundational Black Americans", and essentially shitting on recent African immigrants as being second tier to black Americans descended from slaves. It was so vile, and they did nothing about it. He was bullying a second generation Nigerian American about her political beliefs. The mods told me it wasn't hateful to attack someone for their parent's national origin. Which is patently absurd.
The same guy also basically stated that any human who is descended from people who came to the US voluntarily is "white", no matter their ehnicity. It was shocking they allowed this kind of bullying. Ethno-nationalism is horrifying to me.
Imagine a subreddit forcing people to send pictures of their white skin to the mods. People would be outraged.
The only good way to use reddit these days is to unsubscribe from all of the default subreddits and only subscribe to small subreddits dedicated to your hobbies/interests. Everything else is garbage.
