you're clueless if you think reddit was ever a safe space for the "alt right" o. It's a terrible forum for discussing things like politics, if you express any kind of conservative view on reddit your comment will be buried within 10 or 15 minutes because the kind of kids who hang out on there downvote things they disagree with

i still go on reddit all the time. it really has gone downhill since it got really popular and the sjw's took over, banning subs like /r/n-words and /r/fatpeoplehate

still a good site for video games, tech support, specific interests, but not a place to discuss or argue about heated subjects because the fags who vote brigade

pro tip: go to /r/politics and click a random thread, sort by "controversial" and you'll see what I mean. "comment scored below threshold" etc

and don't even bring up the fucking donald, it's a meme sub

edit: redditor since 2009 and have had 4 accounts shadowbanned this election season, the most recent was TRUMP-VOTER and it had 7 posts, one of which called a kid a snarky bitch so the mods literally banned that account on ALL of reddit for using the b word and being named "trump-voter"
