Does anyone remember Digg?

Digg was all about free speech and commenting, then in like 6 months it went all censor-happy and began to ban over the littlest things.

In the last 2-3 years, Reddit has gone from being an open place to discuss and share, to extremely left wing and censorship happy. My god, you can't even discuss even remotely non-PC things on any of the Canadian subreddits.

The Canadian subreddits in particular, and the cesspool of /r/politics, are all so tightly controlled that you'd think /r/Vancouver especially, has nothing but left wing loonies.

This is why more and more people are becoming extremist, because it is natural to seek out organic truths, even if they are offensive, rather than inorganic astro-turf.

When that idiot rapper Lil Dicky was posting his new songs, the sheer amount of canned comments was blatantly obvious, and if you pointed it out, you'd be banned! So many times I began noticing just how scripted Reddit had become. I have no idea where this is going but the only place I go for legitimate conversation and a wide variety of viewpoints is... 4chan's pol!

Well, maybe this will be different...

I can't even read a single page of post titles from my home city's sub, it's fucking disgusting (and no it's not Vancouver) - knowing that those kind of people live in my city and could be in my proximity or interact with me makes me feel ill and makes me want to move the fuck away.

One thing I have noticed is that the female moderators are always the most quick to anger and to ban. I get banned all the time on so many different subs, not even for anything traditionally "offensive" like slurs or anything, I don't post that, but I will post things like "To play devil's advocate, I think you should consider x, y, and z" and often even those posts are shadowbanned instead of outright banned. Then I ask the moderators why I was banned and then I will get something condescending from the mods.

Meanwhile, the mods themselves will make comments that are extremely left wing and do not let anyone right of Mao speak!

Almost as if women have higher empathy than men - leading them to act (at least initially) from the heart, rather than the head.

Such a difference would explain the long term professional differences (warriors vs caretakers) between the genders that (with a hint of "genes matter", both of which) are being thrown into the trash by liberal sciences.
