Reddit full of political bias (beehaw.org)

Recently on Reddit there are memes after memes on election. Specifically, rather pro-Israel "No vote for Biden is vote for Trump!" If you open, you see a bunch of same-minded people complaining about anti-Bibi protestors.

It's so everywhere I can't see Reddit without seeing such posts.

I can like threadiverse better just for this. I don't have to see the same tiring meme everywhere thanks to having no political campaigning and no forced promotion of posts into my feed.

Lemmy is just as political as reddit, just on the opposite spectrum. But yeah at least the memes stay in the meme communities, which I've all blocked. So that is nice, at the very least.

Honestly, though, I wonder why memes don't flood out to news magazines.

No idea, but I sure ain't sad about it.

Might be admins doing their jobs and deleting posts when the don't fit the rules?

Maybe, hard to see the stats as an end user but I agree with you.

That's the eternal cycle of social media. It starts nice and then it get flooded by MAGA extremists until it becomes a cesspool of hate and disinformation.

See: Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, TikTok is well on that path as well.

That meme I'm talking about is actually from Biden supporters.
