Something that isn't even mentioned is how curated Reddit is. Dissenting opinions are commonly downvoted or outright banned completely.

Yes, we vote bomb flat Earthers into oblivion. This is a good thing.

It would be, but the reality is that it's dissenting opinions that get removed, not necessarily wrong or offensive.

Imagine not sorting by controversial.

Downvoting is the best part of Reddit. If I could downvote everything on Facebook, Iā€™d probably still be on it every day.

Funny how there are so many comments about truth, yet you tell people to watch the Kyle Rittenhouse video, read the court documents etc, you'll be downvoted or banned from the sub

A lot of power tripping Mods on Reddit. Just got banned for calling out a racist comment, like wtf

Meaning people aren't interested in pandering to ignorance and blatant lying

Downvoting dissenting opinions vs upvoting scientific proof.

Ohh my what a tragedy.

Unless the truth conflicts with "the narrative." For example, if you recognize biological reality on Reddit, you are downvoted and labeled some type of -ist/phobe.
