    • Closed source (honestly, I’d rather not know what the redesign of Reddit is made of…)
    • It’s annoying, slow and tedious
    • Works better in Chrome™ (I can’t even scroll down the website properly with Firefox)
    • Harmful business model (Reddit Premium, Reddit Coins, pay-to-win-karma…)
    • It’s a JavaScript powered website (not recommended for low-end machines)
    • Communities are full of racists, homophobes, sexists, xenophobes…
    • The use of sensationalist headlines is promoted to gain karma
    • Is the ideal site for alt-right and conspiracy theories apologists
    • Leftist/Communist/ML/MLM userbase is discriminated and censored everyday
    • Reddit moderators are terrible (most of them)
    • Dark patterns everywhere
    • They block Tor users
    • (I can think of many more but need I go on?)

      O see nothing wrong with censoring and making fun of MLM content. (Multi Level Marketing)

        Yeah, maybe OP has something to do with them? They teach to stay away from MLM everywhere, it’s not just reddit. And that’s positive, because it’s a scam

          MLM in this case refers to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism or Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought, not Multi-Level Marketing.

      We might be visiting different sites because the reddit I know is anti-right. Most popular news subreddits like /r/politics are actually US-democratic party echo chambers.

        @IngrownMink4@lemmy.ml is making the distinction between leftism and liberalism, explained succinctly here.

        Reagan and thatcher for example, are liberals: pro free market, pro capitalism, pro landlordism, pro exploitation. Even the “social liberal” distinction that you see in countries like the US, and your average redditor, agree on all those points.

          I have. They are mostly made up of leftists actually. Not extreme left, but left nonetheless.

            Hmm, I don’t think so (I guess because we have different conceptions of what is alt-right). But, do you agree with the rest of what I wrote?

              Yeah, the rest I agree with. I also hate the move towards profiles and more attention to the individual.

                I agree with what you say! I personally don’t like the normalization of this type of harassment.
