Reddit has a far everything. From tankies in denial to straight up Nazis, Admins do nothing with both sides. I used to like the libertarian approach (except the borderline/straight up cp subs...) but it is evident that they dont do anything except punishing their own community and censoring what they dont like because of being understaffed and underqualified rather than sacrificing on advertising revenue for the sake of liberty and pulling users that way.

Show me.

I’ve been to every corner of Reddit and never seen anything remotely “far right”. I’ve seen the conservative sub be brigaded by other subs that are allowed to break reddits rules about hot-linking to brigade, though I disagreed with them I saw The Donald get banned for two astroturfed posts that MediaMatters (Hillary Clinton) used to get them banned (ironically before “all cops are bastards” was promoted), and I’ve seen actual far right forums that make me sick. None of that is far-right on Reddit.

So show me. Link a sub. It should be easy for your claim. As response other than “here is a far right sub on Reddit” will be an admission you are making it up.

Of course, this is what I expected to see when you claim far right content isn't a problem. You are severely biased to think that The Donald was anything other than a cesspool of radicalism. The dude has been a lifelong con man. He was an utter failure (and traitor) as a president, as was obvious from the start.

Reddit is full of whatever a dogwhistle becomes when everyone can hear it. Just whistles, I suppose. It is shockingly easy to find racists commenting about IQ and 13/50 bullshit in any subreddit that isn't actively moderating against that, let alone one that encourages it like the Donald.

the_donald was banned years ago, along with many other far right subs. Where are these far right wing subs?

Right or wrong, I don't really care. The far right has been effectively purged from Reddit.

Maybe a single hive was removed after years of activity. The users from the Donald were not removed. They moved to other subreddits where they persist with the same behaviors. There has certainly not been any sort of purge.

Nah they instead purged those who opposed the hate mongering and called out the trolling...

I've come to hazard a guess they prefer the TD folks because the have higher engagement rates and are more prone to fall for the shady ads that reddit seems to be rife with

Where? I just don’t see it.

It looks to me they moved elsewhere, in some cases probably more radical communities.

>racists commenting about IQ and 13/50 bullshit

I don’t know what you are saying. Explain?

You've thoroughly proven you have no clue you would recognize far-right content when you used the Donald as a counter-example of it, no need to continue.

Why are you having difficulty explaining all the things you are saying are so commonplace?

You are making claims but unwilling to back any of them up.

Imagine for a moment… if you were so far left that everything looked “far right” to you, how would you know?

I'm not having difficulty, I'm choosing not to follow the directives of someone who thinks the Donald wasn't far right radicalism.

"You didn't write responses on my terms so you're wrong and biased to the point of delusion." No, actually, you think a far-right echo chamber finally getting banned for agitating users towards shooting police officers is somehow Hillary Clinton's fault.

So you're saying there's no examples, meaning that you're actually claiming such subreddits don't exist

From your comment history on vaccines and illness I presume you are more familiar than I with far-right subreddits. Perhaps you should list a few here to satisfy yourself, since I won't be entertaining the question.

You have now in this thread accused two HN members of being far right… while being completely incapable of linking far right activity on Reddit you claim is all over the place.

You may have a religion you aren’t aware of.

Again, you think a subreddit purpose-built around supporting lifelong con man isn't far-right. Not even after he has been indicted for insurrection and stealing secret documents is it clear to you.

I don't understand why you can't link to a single _existing_ alt-right subreddit. You keep referencing a single one that was purged years ago.

You're claiming they're still on Reddit but using a long gone subreddit as proof of Reddit being alt-right today? How does that even work? If you can't link to something today you can't say the problem still exists today.

This is just another admission that your claim has no merit

It would be more tactful to just admit you are wrong. Attacking me with strange baseless accusations, based on what I can only assume are my correct positions in previous scientific discussions, is a strange saving face tactic

my HN client doesnt have notifications. You havent been to 'every corner of Reddit' if you are making this claim. Especially around the 2016-2018 mark, there used to be horrible subs. The far lefters overtook (mostly), for sure, but Reddit used to be (maybe still is, i dont know) the front for recruiting new misguided teens for those forums you mentioned.
