You laugh but there are actual Nazis on some internet platforms
I don’t think most of us here are laughing, a motivating factor to move away from places like Instagram and Reddit for me was their habit of ignoring far-right activity while punishing left activity. Some of us here are active on the internet in part because we know there are a lot of Nazis active too.
I’m pretty sure reddit and most social media is bias to the left. Maybe you should check your own beliefs as it sounds like you are part of the radical left like most people here.
When I say far right I’m talking about antisemitic beliefs that are often rooted in racist religious beliefs. That’s not your average conservative.
Well yes, I am part of the ‘radical left’, and proudly so, by that mean I believe in healthcare, food and a place to live for all people regardless of any qualifier and think the political/economic systems in place now will not achieve that.
I agree the average conservative is not a believer in that sort of antisemitism, but it’s not uncommon. In the terms of US politics, social media platforms do have a left bias, from a more global perspective though they are center or center-right, and overall just do whatever will protect their profits. Reddit, Twitter, others will ban left-wing and anti-capitalist groups and allow their algorithms to push content they know encourages far-right violence because it generates more activity.
I’m not sure there is alternative to “capitalism” as you call it. As it turns out we are all greedy and to add salt to the wound all of the Communist revolutions failed within a short time and caused a lot of bloodshed.
I’m scarred of communism because it causes death and starvation in the end. What you all a right wing bias is the same to me as removing violent and harmful content. You legitimately scare me. (That’s not suppose to be insulting) We are no longer locked in a cold war so the best course of action I suppose is to just ignore you.
All that is baseless capitalist propaganda
I would say if social media has any form of left leaning bias in regards to US politics, it’s entirely down to the userbase and not the platform. It’s been shown that content from left-wing politicians and groups gets buried by the algorithms on places like Facebook and Twitter when compared to content from right-wing groups and politicians on a pretty consistent basis.
