Why are only liberal views entertained on Reddit?

Like there is not base for a conservative viewpoint.Is this social programming or are conservative people not on the internet at all?

Social karma tends to run off the minority points of view eventually, both forced and voluntarily.

The last time I visited reddit was 3 years ago. I got perma banned on askreddit when I replied, "Uh huh, sure." when someone said that Trump was a criminal. They claimed my response was harmful misinformation.

They either get banned or downvoted into oblivion in most of the larger subreddits. Or the subreddit itself gets deleted if there's too many conservative users and mods.

It's left to right ratio is the inverse of here, but their mods are much gayer, and the down vote system interrupts traditional discourse.

Reddit mods/admins are some of the most pathetic dregs of society to ever exist. I'm guessing most of them are complete duds in real life and this little thimble of power they have is the only thing that makes them feel important because in reality they all suck.

I don't go to political subreddits, so I'm referring to other places. Arguing politics online is a pointless circlejerk at the best of times.

it's only pointless if you think you are changing anyone's mind. I enjoy arguing them because I am interested in other view points

Reddits clown world of the internet and its policies will be the eventual death of it as people leave for freer pastures. X/twitter is the new hotness outside of misc. Brb reach entire world, minimal censorship.

I don't know if you noticed, but outside of Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, and select small places like the misc, the entire internet is all about liberalism.

Also, look at the people who control most of the internet. Most of them are extreme Marxist leftists. Yet you're suprised it's hard to find decent, fair places for conservatives online? *Uncle Joe voice* C'mon, man!

Their moderators ban anyone who isn’t extremely woke and progressive. Go on the politics page and say you are glad trump made animal abuse a crime and you’ll get banned

Back in 2016 they weren’t quite like this but they kept tweaking their algorithm so that right leaning stuff didn’t make it to the top page. But left leaning stuff. And over time they got aggressive moderators who censor everything they don’t like

Also. Most of the activity on there probably isn’t from real humans. Bots that are programmed to make it seem more popular and spread a message

I think we have entered a new age where internet reigns supreme. People who want to be moderators and forum hall monitors are usually younger folks or general losers and demographically they tend to be liberal. Obviously they won't tolerate wrongthink because it promotes violence or hatred and phobias.

Not in the least bit surprising

I'm convinced that the vast majority of reddit page runners are total pieces of crap

The site is run by brain washed marxists. It comes from the top and "trickles down" to the lowest level of volunteer mods working for free.

Any right wing opinion will just be deleted. Any right wing mod who got through will just be banned by the other mods.

You also have to remember that you will unknowingly be talking to teenagers a lot of the time. When you argue with someone here, you know they're at least around mid twenties at the youngest. On there, you have 16 year olds growing up with newspeak and regurgitating some gay ass sheltered opinion they saw on tiktok while posting "SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK".
