Bullshit.
Reddit is made up of millions of people with different viewpoints. There are subreddits that are left leaning, centrist, right leaning, and everything in between. And many, many more which have no political viewpoint because they literally have nothing to do with politics.
To claim an entire user base has a “certain political viewpoint” is plainly ignoring the reality of the situation.
It certainly is a great strawman but it’s in no way shape or form representative of reality.
I’m going to ignore the rest of your comment because you clearly can’t conceptualize the basic idea that Reddit is not one mind. Come back to me when this most basic of concepts has sunk in and we can have an actual discussion rather than whatever this idiotic back and forth you’re insisting on is.
Cool. Stopped reading there.
I understand what you are doing: painting any assessment of Reddit to be a statement that Reddit has a single political opinion, which is a statement that nobody is making. And I am very very very glad you know what a strawman is.
Next time, don’t bother replying at all and save everyone the minute.
Did you also bother to read your own comments while you were at it? I would have assumed you did but you clearly have shown that comprehension is not in your wheelhouse.
> painting any assessment of Reddit to be a statement that Reddit has a single political opinion, which is a statement that nobody is making
I mean, that's literally what you did, but go off sis.
> I think we both know that Reddit has a certain political viewpoint, so let’s not pretend that we don’t.
Gotta love how you can't even keep your own argument straight, let alone comprehending a basic fact like "millions of people have their own thoughts and opinions on a site"
No.
Your quote does not support the assertion.
An average does not mean that individual data points can have different values.
I’m not a woman. My username is my own name. I’m not sure what you were trying here.
You should probably read the HN guidelines.
Almost word for word.
Is your cognitive dissonance that extreme? This gaslighting is idiotic when your own comments are right there to read.
Just stop. You’ve clearly proven you can’t even keep your own arguments straight, let alone properly respond to others’. There is no basis for discussion if you refuse to acknowledge the things you’ve clearly said.
Again, this doesn’t preclude there being a multitude of political affiliations on Reddit.
I’ve been very consistent on this and think you’ve done very poorly in response. It’s possible you’re so angry you’re not even reading what you’re quoting.
But ok.
> it’s Reddit that is out of touch.
> If it’s only Reddit that finds many people’s behaviour objectionable Occam’s Razor would determine that Reddit is the problem
Hell, even in this comment you continue to do it.
> Again, Reddit leans left of the general population.
Now suddenly Reddit is multiple people with multiple opinions?
> I’ve been very consistent on this
Consistent is the opposite of what you've been. But ok.
Do you actually believe the things you write? Like actually?
The meme certainly applies, but not in the way you think it does.
If it’s only Reddit that finds many people’s behaviour objectionable Occam’s Razor would determine that Reddit is the problem.
