How Reddit Was Destroyed: The power now resided in individual subreddits, obviously the most popular ones. There was a power grab to become moderators of these subreddits. Once the default subreddits were controlled, drastic changes began to occur.

There was also that time mysterious money was pumped into it by special interests, from then on, changes that occurred became night and day.

Basement dwellers in their 40s in their mother's basements take over Reddit with their army of cats!

They never had to "take over". The admins appointed them from the beginning, in the days before non-admins could even create subreddits.

Fake consensus anti free-speech platform doing the radical leftists' bidding. They expunge inconvenient speech and ban those who resist being brainwashed.

I remember when I first moved to reddit. Sure, there was that element of shills and shitty mods, but there were some great subs you could have actual conversations on. Rarely in the last few years have I had any meaningful dialogue on reddit. Usually you get the kneejerk people so steeped in their now hive mind that they just yell obscenities or cite that one troublesome post/comment you made ten years ago and try to cancel any opinion. Never a cogent argument. This is how I ended up here.

It wasn't always like this. A few years ago, there were just as many disagreements and differences of opinion on reddit, but they were REAL. And the site was still a democracy.

Nah, fuck your democracy. The elites are pushing the false lie of "democracy" knowing it's already hijacked, and used mob violence to accomplish their goals via useful idiots.
