It's not even subtle anymore. You can predict with 99% accuracy the ideology of any political statements in content on the first 10 pages of r/all. It's a 52M daily user echo chamber.

And anyone with a dissenting opinion is chased off of the site. I had to stop using it over the staggering amount of groupthink and censorship.

Didn't they champion themselves as the bastions of free speech at one point?

No one has a right to a private platform.

Facebook banned QAnon, so did Youtube. They can, frankly, fuck off.

QAnon is free to start their own website and say whatever loony shit they want.
