The alt-right is having a great time right now on Reddit. Tons of their posts from r/conservative on the front page.
r/Canada was taken over by alt-right a long time ago. r/OnGuardForThee had to be made in response to that. I feel like Reddit in general is going that direction. The sheer volume of bot activity on most major subreddits is insane.
Yes I went there for a peek and it's so angry. Compared to the positive vibe here, reddit felt oppressive. I'm not going back. Let it simmer and boil. I love this place.
It's so refreshing at lemmy. Such a positive vibe. Like the internet was before it all became centralised. Lemmy is the real Web 3.
So its like Twitter?
Well, that demographic is always great for their advertiser acquisition goal
Right? Nothing like a festering pile of bigotry & ignorance to get the advertisers signing up.
You joke but it’s not exactly wrong.
People like that love to buy dumb shit. After a time Reddit will be nothing but my pillow, t shirt companies, colonial penn life insurance, and reverse mortgage ads.
True, but they're not exactly swimming in disposable income, usually. Trump's base is mostly non-college-educated whites. Not exactly a rich vein to mine.
True, but that’s the same base for the mega churches, and those fucks aren’t hurting for private jets.
Trump raises a few million bucks every time he tells his supporters to donate. A LOT of companies want in on that
