    Reddit is becoming typically right wing where they allow people to discuss various topics as long as their answers don’t disagree with their political leanings

      I don’t think it’s long before it dies off and goes the way of Facebook. It’ll have users sure, but it will be long past producing any content worthwhile

        Nah, they will keep the corpse alive and possibly even more thriving (at least to the shareholders) with bot accounts. It is quite clear that a shitload of AI bots are being tested out in various subs at the moment.

        Edit: An example of such an AI bot.

      Where presumably it will be perfectly OK, putting the boot on the other foot so to speak, to discuss making Scotland part of England.

    With all those banned keywords, is it possible to post anything at all anymore?

      Well actually you can say [removed for rule violation]

    The r/AskBrits subreddit on Reddit has banned users from all “anti-British sentiment”.

      Askbrits 62k members.

      Askuk 2milion members.

      I got banned from the latter because of their stupid absolutely no politics rule. Lots of questions can’t be answered without it being down to politics.

    Is this even „news” in the literal sense? The bigger subreddit seems to be r/AskUK, anyway, and they don’t have this petty rule (62 thousand vs. 2 million).

    But yeah, really petty indeed.
