One has to appreciate that Reddit he organically and got segmented in subs over time, who knows how many empty subs died on the wayside before the many niches we hold dear took off.
Just like everywhere else, the top heavy generation of the baby boomers trying hard to get their own. Youth vote was largely leftist, but fuck the future generations, right?
It’s not as clever yet, thought, as the demographic is rather small. I was amazed that reddits’ world news the comments were almost uniformly not only anti Hamas but pro Israel. I mean not to pick a side here, and not saying theres not astroturfing here. However there’s more diversity of position, whereas the reddit thread felt almost strangly like everyone was just saying stuff, but not carrying any meaning. Felt like the last scene of body snatchers where even the protagonist turns out to be snatched, in a way.
The amount of sophistication is lower. There are people holding extreme positions but quite often they self identify and aren’t state sponsored most of the time.
