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.

    At the risk of going against the flow here…no?

    I keep seeing Lemmy posts 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 people on here claim it is.

      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.
