Not to be conspiratorial, but this is an aspect I've pondered that hasn't gotten much discussion: given spez's fanboy emulation of Musk, we could see Reddit become a lot more right-wing as those voices are the ones allowed to continue, like-minded mods are put in place, etc...which means those folks gain yet another messaging platform. It's not great.

The principals of capitalism align with their interests and perhaps their swing that direction could be seem as a defense mechanism against their better nature and any sort of guilt associated with their, what i consider, morally corupt actions.

They will. These people are trying to break up our means of communications. That’s why it’s important we get the word out about alternatives.

Hell, reddit was a friendly host for r/t_d for many years.

In their defense at that time subs like FULLCOMMUNISM were also around posting edgy memes where it wasn't always clear, if they jokingly or actually defended Stalins and Maos genocides.

Heck until 2018 or so there were subs about darknet markets where people rated the drugs and services sold there.

Somehow in my head I've always put the far left and the far right in the same boat.
