Yesterday it kinda hit me that the feed left a lot more "reddit-y" suddenly. More american politics for one.

There is a also aspecific thing that alerted me: Sudden appearance of this pattern plagueing reddit where a post about some bad muslim person escalates into edgy atheism which is also kinda racist and lowkey fascist in a very specific way.

I don't have a lot of empiric evidence, just the vibe seems to have shifted.

Yeah, that way it won't affect you or your life.

    Disengaging from politics on one social media platform does not mean a person doesn't pay attention or involve themselves in other places.

    most of the political nutters here would never engage in politics in the real world in any meaningful way, it would be too inconvenient and it might shake them out of their delusional idealism that they are perfectly correct about things.
