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.
No longer on Reddit. That’s why I’m here. Kept getting banned because, “who knows”?
“Why am I banned?”
silence
No. You’re seeing what the news looks like without USAID funding propaganda to drown out the truth. A majority of media outlets in Ukraine were taking money from them.

Lol “the truth”
You believe these media companies were not taking money from USAID?
Hey OP, I found another one
This reminds me of when the media & government dropped the Iraq wmd claims, and admitted they’d fabricated the whole thing. Even when they stopped pushing the lie and confessed the weapons never existed, so many people invested in the hoax took a long while to accept the truth.
You’ll catch up.
Ah yes. Prove a ludicrous statement by talking about an unrelated one, classic whataboutism. Look, either you’re aim is to spread propaganda or, more likely, you’ve swollowed enough yourself and totally lost the plot.
No. Im just a leftist. I’m used to knowing things too early. You’ll catch up eventually, and then pretend you knew the truth the whole time. I know how this goes.
A leftist ranting about the evils of USAID.
lmao, okay sweetie. That’s nice. 😂
The acronym is an intentional misnomer to mislead people about their mission, and they’ve spent a lot of money to craft their image. It’s understandable to mistakenly believe it’s focused on aid.
Peddle your BS to someone more gullible.
Either give it a rest or take that shit back to .ml where it’s tolerated.
Still being on Reddit in 2025 has turned into a real leopards eating my face situation.
No, I haven’t. Because I no longer go on Reddit.
This is the way.
It’s everywhere. I’m guessing they have a lot extra free money to spend on propaganda now that they allies with the US.
I’m one week reddit free after 2 bans. I honestly don’t miss it. Recently it’s been all right-wing propaganda and conspiracies, getting banned for innocuous things, and general hate towards other users. That platform is dying fast. Here’s to Lemmy supremacy! 🥂
At the risk of going against the flow here…no?
People keep talking about how Reddit is going hard fascist…but half the posts on /r/all are about Trump being a rapist, or celebrating CyberTruck arson, or Luigi memes, etc.
I deleted my Reddit account during the third-party app bullshit and exclusively view it from the old site or OpenArtemis, so I’m not exactly going to defend them, but it isn’t nearly as bad as I’ve been seeing here.
its not because of the anti-trump posts, but its most the fact that resemble what MSMs has been doing, reporting everything trump does give him free press and legitimacy to the gop. additionally alot of comments get removed in those same posts for very little reason too. and also adding as adistraction from the actual things they couldve been posting. its called sanewashing. also some posters have been traced back to right wing bots and trolls too. too add, subs you never thought would see on the fornt page, such as conservative have become a constant prescence, also ragebaiting posts too.
Yeah, when I’ve visited there has been very small amounts of far right posts, maybe because of the algo?
i believe its what the MSMs, did sanewashing his every move, so he looks more legitamcy and bolsters his support.
Maybe also has something to do with the uptick of banning left leaning people talking about the damage Trump and Musk are doing? There have been a TON of people here saying their 10+ year old accounts have been banned.

I’m just seeing a lot of sanitation of reddit. Must be making it advertiser friendly or kissing up to the admin.
I don’t buy the whole Russia thing because it takes the burden of guilt off of the admin and makes them look like pawns. No, the admin would be this way regardless of Russia. The Russia connection is a symptom of MAGA, not the cause.
This is naive. Russia has been waging psychological warfare on us for literally decades. They are open about this. They’ve written books about it. It is LITERALLY Russian military doctrine.
I am NOT advocating for marching on Moscow. But to ignore the psychological warfare that was amplified by, yes willing conspirators which does indicate we DO have a root problem here too, is to ignore the circumstances that brought us here.
We are only here because of the combination of old-school crazies in the Heritage Foundation controlling Fox News/trad. media and our 4chan billionaires pushing all sorts of propaganda from the depths of the internet & 4chan, which is pretty much all Russian/chinese/iranian propaganda aimed at destabilizing trust within the west.
Sure people are stupid and like conspiracies — but the conspiracy sphere is EXACTLY a target of Russian propaganda because the user base already distrusts the government and they’re a user base that’s willing to push their beliefs onto others if you can convince them… see QANON. Qanon has deep ties to both Russia AND to the tech bros, namely Thiel and Musk.
This is only possible because of the MARRIAGE OF THESE IDEAS. They are equally to blame. We are at war with Russia as much as we are at war with our own traitorous billionaires.
WTF is Reddit?
Seriously though get off that site, it’s not good for you.
I find the opposite… I find their content moderation has become so f****** horrible and extremely biased view towards the left side of the political / social spectrum… Half the reason why I’ve switched over to Lemmy cuz it at least promote some form of open dialogue
“open dialogue”? I’m gonna have to assume you mean some instances will censor you for criticizing Russia, because the right-wing translation of “free speech” is “when my speech is free and yours isn’t”.
See also: “free speech absolutist” Elon Musk.
I don’t know, I just have never really experienced censorship when criticizing anything on the right wing. Perhaps my issues with reddit is not the content itself as much as it is the moderators and their attempts to suppress open dialogue - we may be on the same wave length and agreement in regards to allowing criticism openly, I just think you should also consider that it’s not just happening on critics against “the right wing”.
not true one bit, its the opposite now. it leans heavily right wing on most subs now, it just bans and or removes most criticism against right wing sources. update your info being commenting.
If you don’t like left-bias, you’re going to hate it here. Lemmy is literally created by communists.

I don’t mind a left bias, I just hate authoritarians on either side who suppress free speech, like those who overtake and control your beloved communist system ( assuming you are one) so easily, but hey “that’s not real communism”, right?
The russian propagandist has no shame these days. They openly flaunt their nationality and their influence over us media. It’s shameful and americans should ostracize these people. They are all soo scared of brown people voting in their election but give no shits when it comes to russians, a foreign adversary, push their agenda through propagandizing americans.
