Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
Some of the very worst of the worst liberal takes, apologia for fascist shit, and of course cryptobro grifts and even Tesla worship keep coming from there. It's fucked.
I don't want to say all programmers or tech workers are like that, but I don't like what I've seen so far from people with a .programming suffix on their names. 
Tech workers being labor aristocracy mostly making them much more reactionary. And they're enthusiastic about some magic tech fixing the world only if we accept our Sillicon Valley overlords and such.
Probably they also are terminally online due to their jobs, thus making them more exposed to all kinds of propaganda on the Western internet.
It's also where they're terminally online. Normal people are terminally online on Instagram and Tiktok while tech bros are terminally online on just Reddit because they all think Tiktok is sissy pee spyware
I think Reddit also offers a figleaf on content.
If your boss steps in and sees Reddit or Hacker News on your screen, you can justify it as "well, I'm working through this discussion on how to fix Weird Technical Issue on /r/programminglanguage" while the mainstream view of TikTok is that it has little content of value for Important Business Things.
Oh yeah, definitely. Although there is a lot of reactionary content, predominant even, on every social media platform I'd say. But like you stated, definitely a lot more on Reddit lmao
