Is anyone else noticing an uptick in far-right content and Russian propaganda on reddit lately?
To me it almost seems like reddit has started pushing it.

They’re getting a lot of pressure from the Trump administration to clamp down on leftist content and ease regulations on right wing stuff
Yeah, I don’t think it’s an uptick of Russians and right wingers so much as a downtick in sane and leftist comments.
yup, also significant astroturfing from right wing shills.
this is one part, but i think its mostly because of ad revenue, right wing content drives traffic to the site, it works for Youtube/facebook.
Crazy that that’s the case considering how bad it tends to be for advertisers. But I don’t doubt that’s involved too. Especially when the cultural focus of the country now is to rid itself of all forms of equity
