He doesn’t use that reddit (to my knowledge) and considering it’s reddit… not that surprising. Reddit is dominated pretty heavily by neolibs, far righters trying to fit in with libs and a couple super tiny left communities. It’s a website mostly consisting of Americans, Canadians and Western Europeans (according to IP traffic data), so, again, expected outcome.
For example, go read (or… don’t) r/news or r/politics. For one it’s 100% US centric (even though it’s not USnews or USpolitics) and two it’s all regurgitated, word for word, mainstream CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc. talking points. Any questioning of any narratives is deleted, banned or at best shadow banned/downvoted so it’s not seen. It’s been like that for at least a decade. I’m not even joking when I say I think the state dept or something like that has control over those subs in order to direct conversations towards specific issues. I noticed huge swings in narratives over the years (I hate myself and read their dogshit opinions for many many years) like in 2016 when Bernie got fucked, all the liboids were on that shit immediately (despite Bernie being very obviously the most popular on the subs for months ahead of that). This is all anecdotal of course, but I’m pretty sure my thoughts bear out. Regardless, if there was ever any contingent of socdem types, they’re all run out now and replaced with libs so far right that I often can’t tell the Nazis from the libs in their talking points.
There’s also constant unrestricted brigading against anything associated with Hasan in any capacity by Nazis online. One community in particular likes to constantly post out of context or even in context, correct takes, but “bad optics” (from the common reddit/Nazi outlook. Like anti cop sentiments) on a different subreddit where they all brigade the fuck out of the post while trying to play dumb about what brigading is… it’s all children being stupid. Reddit should probably be avoided unless you just like to have hate-fuel for libs
