I am planning to officially throw in the towel on Reddit; every aspect of the site is infected with the woke mind virus. Everything from hip-hop subreddits to basketball subreddits to even golf subreddits—literally everything—has become political. I remember the golf subreddit had tons of posts about golfers being bad for supporting Trump. Go to a music subreddit; it's all musicians condemning Trump. You literally can't escape it; it's everywhere.
The only non-woke political subs are r/politicalcompassmeme and the handful of other libertarian subs, along with the dead conservative subreddits, which are just boomer Facebook memes being reposted. The overzealous moderators also run every community; even the college football communities have moderators who ban people for rooting for teams they don't like. It's completely insane. That's not even mentioning how many bot posts are on subreddits like r/AITAH or the transgenders infesting every women's subreddit.
I just wish people would stop using Reddit and instead would start using forums for niche interests again instead of giving Reddit a monopoly on hobbies. I'm also upset about Twitter/X requiring accounts to view content, but that deserves another post discussing it. Overall, Reddit's post-COVID proliferation has been one of the worst things to ever happen to the internet, and its inevitable death will be horrible for hobbyists and information but also well deserved.
