'''Reddit''' is a [[social media]] websitedominated by [[internet]] [[troll]]s. Their Like flypaper, Reddit attracts the trolls and holds them there so that other internet sites can be educational and enjoyable. Reddit users submit content and vote submissions "up" or "down" to determine their position on the pages of the site. These votes give a user 'Karma', one for links and one for comments. The best content would reach the front page, hence the slogan "the front page of the internet." Reddit was a defining representation of democratization of culture and promoting the free flow of knowledge across the net. As the site grew and new CEOs took over, free speech became a casualty. Content and groups have been deleted by corporate management, this has generated a loud backlash. The [[Chinese]] company Tencent has a 10% stake in the company, and this results in anything mentioning the [[Tiananmen Square massacre]] or rightfully blaming China for [[COVID-19]] being banned, and allows racist subreddits such as r/Sino to thrive.

Nearly all social media sites are created/owned by [[liberal]]s and Reddit is no different. Unlike [[Twitter]] where there is a large [[conservative]] user population, the exact opposite can be said of Reddit. While there is a small conservative following, their posts are downvoted by liberals.

Despite the overwhelming liberal bias on Reddit, there are a few subreddit small number of subreddits a with conservative populations; such as /r/Conservativeand r/Republican. However, many conservative subreddits have been [[censorship|censored]] by Reddit. r/imgoingtohellforthispizzagate, was banned<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-23/reddit-bans-pizzagate-we-dont-want-witchhunts-our-site</ref> as well as r/The_Donaldbeing unfairly banned for being "anti-police" after a [[Media_Matters_for_America|Media Matters]] hit piece was released. Recently, and, formerlyin 2020, r/altriechWuhan_Flu was quarantined, within 3 days of its creation.<ref>https://www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump/pro-trump-subreddit-full-calls-violence-support-oregon-republicans. Oddly enough subreddits like R/Communism, R/Beholdthemasterrace and R/Fragilewhiteredditor, R/Fuckthealtright have not been banned and have thousands of followers dispite being hypocritical of reddits "anti harrassment policy." </ref><ref>https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/06/26/reddit-censors-the_donald-community-of-750000-trump-supporters/</ref><ref>https://reclaimthenet.org/the-donald-subreddit-quarantined/</ref><ref>http://archive.is/u61WC</ref> On August 23 2021 a Reddit user made a post on the [[Marxism|Marxist]] subreddit r/Globalwarmingisfake vaxxhappened calling for Reddit to "take action against the rampant Coronavirus misinformation on their website".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/vaxxhappened/comments/pbe8nj/we_call_upon_reddit_to_take_action_against_the</ref> What this Redditor meant by "take action" is for Reddit to censor views that opppose [[Vaccine_mandate|vaccine mandates]] and [[Covid_lockdown|totalitarian lockdowns]]. This post was reposted to hundreds of other subreddits resulting in Reddit making the decision on September 3 2021, influenced by Chinese oligarchs, to quarantine and ban dozens of [[freedom|pro-free speech]] subreddits such as r/pizzagateNoNewNormal.<ref>https://www.cnet.com/news/reddit-bans-active-covid-misinformation-subreddit-nonewnormal/</ref><ref>https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2022/03/04/censor-happy-reddit-bans-links-to-russian-state-media/</ref> There is also a spike in subreddits that claim to be conservative but will ban you for being too MAGA for reddit. r/stupidfuckingliberals for example will ban you for "preaching to the choir" (reminding people that Democrats are responsible for Jim Crow laws). Though their mod 1plus1equals8 claims to hate liberals, he may indeed be compromised by them.

However, ==Capitalist subreddits==Reddit is unique among social media conglomerates for the active community of pro-capitalist users who populate many conservative subreddits have been censored by Reddit. such as r/pizzagateanticomaction, was banned<ref>https:r/anarcho_capitalism, r/www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-23/reddit-bans-pizzagate-we-dont-want-witchhunts-our-site</ref> greatmanchuria, and r/The_Donald was unfairly quarantined for being "anti-police" after a [[Media_Matters_for_America|Media Matters]] hit piece was released.<ref>https://www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump/pro-trump-subreddit-full-calls-violence-support-oregon-republicans</ref><ref>https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/06/26/reddit-censors-the_donald-community-of-750000-trump-supporters/</ref><ref>https://reclaimthenet.org/the-donald-subreddit-quarantined/</ref><ref>http://archive.is/u61WC</ref> A Reddit quarantine prevents new users from finding the subreddit by hiding it from all search results and makes accessing the subreddit more difficultvolunteerist_memes.
