    It’s been overrun by white supremacists since I first joined in 2011, and that’s never changed.

    Check any popular sub on r/all, and they’re the prevailing voice that’s never silenced. r/PublicFreakout, r/mildlyinfuriating, r/interestingasfuck, r/AskReddit and r/unpopularopinion are just a few examples of subreddits where white supremacists run rampant. It’s so bad that I deleted my first account due to receiving weekly homophobic death threats, which went ignored by the mods and admins.

    Reddit has always been a bastion of white supremacy and pedophilia under the guise of “free speech.” That’s demonstrably true. The whole “leans left” thing is just more propaganda.

    Edit: I maintain that reddit was founded specifically to platform hate speech. It’s certainly been consistently pursuing that goal

    But you are correct in saying that reddit is not the same as Stormfront. It is much worse than Stormfront in that most users don’t perceive the white supremacist subtext in the majority of threads on popular subs

        I’m talking about how reddit is infested with white supremacist propaganda.

        It’s also infested with people who become inappropriately aggro in the midst of the slightest disagreement. Looks like you can relate to that
