I’ve watched Reddit devolve into mostly bots with shills these days...

First they banned many communities and users who was right leaning or even moderate in the past two years.

Then you just have an echo chamber plus propaganda and bots are everywhere.

Finally, Reddit is the whole world, not the US. Many of the US specific boards were more right leaning and have been banned.

"Right leaning", really? Or far-right extremists who conspire to support or defend attempts of coup d'état?

The Viking really seems to have caused some traumata.

If that is your excuse to compromise on freedom of expression, than you don't support it in the first place. Just be honest with it then.

Have you completely forgotten 2020? After a year in which forcefully occupying government buildings was regarded as legitimate protest; a year with over 500 riots, for which arrested rioters were generally not prosecuted; Democrats have no credibility when they complain about the right occupying one government building.

What you've done there is pure partisanship: defining "the other side" by the worst among them while ignoring the behavior of the worst among your own side.

most were already banned at this point

Reddit is definitely not the whole world. It's heavily dominated by people from the US and western europe, and heavily biased towards the the mainstream western propaganda narrative. Reddit is an active target for propagandists (i.e. intelligence communities). Votes and recommendations for news articles are not at all based purely on interest and activity, it's being pushed by actors with various agendas.
