I have been on reddit for just about 12 years now. Something I’ve noticed over time is just how hateful the place has become. A complete outrage machine. Every single sub became filled with it. I’ve filtered so many subreddits over the last few years, it’s insane. I don’t know enough about this place to be sure, but I do hope it doesn’t become the same type of echo chamber of anger.

    r/politics and r/conservative should be the same sub to create some balance.

    Either that or force r/politics to merge with r/progressive or r/liberal or r/socialism or r/far left or something

    r/politics not having a conservative voice was my biggest “wtf” when I first joined reddit

    The sub name is so misleading

      Ya /r/politics should be /r/centerlefttwitter

      I think the idea of mixing subs is cool. There’s a sub… /r/capitalismvssocialism which I liked. Basically people from different perspectives actually discuss things.

      I hate echo chambers

      I remember /r/debatefascism too before it got banned. I would go on there and talk to fascists. I don’t understand why they banned it. Better to have them out in the open instead of hiding in dark spaces of the internet
