  • I wouldn’t call it vaguely defined free speech ideal.

    Reddit wants more users. It wants them to look more active. Loud mouth chuds give them that. Infact I feel this is why reddit is pushing algorithms hard. It wants more users, and best way to get more users is to trap more and more of them in echo chambers.

    Right wing ideologies were very rare to come by on reddit 2-3 years ago. They were small conservative islands. Today reddit’s right wing communities are growing fast, and are larger and more numerous than they’ve ever been. That’s what algorithmic recommendations allow you to do. Also destroyed the reddit Hivemind, though I have mixed feelings on that one.
