People there are so greedy, so eager to lick rich people's balls, and so likely to throw insults and downvotes at you, if you give any hint that you support communism. It's honestly such a disgusting place, full of slavers pretending to be smart, kind and moral.

My headcanon is that it took a hard right turn after the API / mod protest debacle. Prior to that, it was still bad in various ways, but I think it was more mask on liberal. Though maybe it goes back further, to when they started doing the quarantining stuff. That might be a more notable turning point.

    They banned r/thedeprogram just for the reason of it being a communist sub some months ago. Reddit was already bad before that, but banning that sub cemented the fact that reddit is becoming a 100% anti-communist website.

    I don't know the history of it well, but didn't similar happen with a sub called genzedong years back, which had something to do with people making lemmygrad? I want to say that was back in the quarantining of subs era, but I'm not sure of the dates.

    Genzedong is another big communist sub purged by reddit. My guess is reddit will start to end when even "softer" leftist and anarchist subs start to get banned, such as r/latestagecapitalism and r/piracy. This coupled with overall enshitfication will lead to mass abandonment of the platform, which will allow for a place like lemmy to replace reddit in the consciousness of society. Things tend to get destroyed when capital and profit become the main justification for them to exist; but it may take some years for that destruction to happen.
