I used to use a reddit account soley for posting on my local sub because I'm not on any social media and there are few avenues to discuss local politics outside of those. It seemed to be sheltered from the wider bullshit on Reddit. A year ago it had one moderater who was barely active. There were no posts about Donald Trump or any US politics shit. I'd make an account, use it for a few months, then delete the account, take a break for a month or so and repeat the process.
Last year, a contingent of users complained about the lack of moderation and the one moderator added four more moderators. First they started cracking down on joke posts and pictures of scenery and stuff like articles from rebel media.
Over the last month, the sub has gotten taken over by blm shit despite the fact that the area the sub represents is like 95% white and literally thousands of kilometres from any other city with more than 100,000 people or any significant non-white population. There have been endless news articles featuring the same rotation of a dozen or so black people talking about microagressions in the local media. The sub clearly had less than 100 active users, yet comments seemed to be getting brigaded with sometimes hundreds of upvotes and downvotes. Mods were openly posting in a leftist politics subreddit, talking about posts they were going to push on the local subreddit for upvotes. Then they put a stickey at the top of the page saying that are now recruiting MORE mods. So I deleted my latest account a week or so ago with no intention of reregistering this time.
Then I come on Kiwi Farms today and this has happend. Reddit will soon be god damn unusable. Shit about Trump and US race politics is seeping into even the smallest, most specific subs. A year ago, you'd go months without race being mentioned on the sub. Now it's being shoehorned into every conversation.
