Just got suspended from all of reddit for 3 days for commenting "Trans people are obsessed with gender stereotypes to the point of having surgery to conform to them. This is the opposite of being progressive."

Reddit is a leftist platform through and through, which is why they have a karma (social credit) system designed to censor opposing views. I really don't see how they can hold the views they hold, unless they're completely incapable of rational thought and are ruled by their emotions and easily brainwashed, but I can't imagine why anyone would even be like that to begin with to be honest. Thinkers are rare, even when they're technically smart enough to get to the truth they don't; I suppose there are more people who own fast cars than can actually drive them well, and the same for fast brains.

Yeah the Karma system combined with outrage censorious culture really just makes the platform rather boring.

I've been on a few more specific subreddits where someone asks a fairly obscure questions about specific applications of tax policy or what have you, and you get a lot of top upvoted comments like "nobody knows" or some popular misconception about the thing getting passed as truth.

Then usually at the bottom there's a downvoted string of comments with sources to the government website in the comment that proves they are right. And a bunch of people whining about how that's not true, and a bunch of people confirming hey yeah actually it's true.

My opinion is that Reddit is filled mostly with bored children pretending to be adults. The lack of reading comprehension ability is indicative of this. Dumbass kids that don't know what they are talking about won't be taken seriously irl so they go online and whine about how smart they are and get off going on anyone who pulls them down a bit with annoying shit like sources or independent research.
