it's full of radical left propaganda even on non-political subs like /r/pics and whatnot

"radical left propaganda" what like wanting health care and a clean environment for everyone?

no, like anti-police, pro-riots bullshit

I don't think this is true. Reddit worked hard to keep alt-right viewpoints on the site, but subs like r/the_donald were so nasty that they had no choice. They also banned liberal subs at the same time. Let's not act like Reddit is banning subs that discuss trickle down economics or debate the merits of a smaller government.

Link to some examples of "radical left propaganda"?

Funny how not wanting people to get summarily executed by the police is considered "radical left".

The last few times I’ve been to reddit /r/all was just full of news about Donald Trump. As someone that doesn’t really get current American politics I’m just so confused at how people don’t get tired of it. Like I get it, fill the front page for a few days in 2016... but its like every day... all the time... I just want cute pictures of cats... can’t we just have 1 happy place.

[Edited to clarify] You can subscribe/unsubscribe from subs on the main page when logged in. If you want to block subs from appearing on r/all, you can with Reddit Gold or an extension.

>You can subscribe/unsubscribe from subs, as you know! You need Reddit Gold for it, but it's possible.

What? In this a recent thing or something for new accounts? I can subscribe/unsubscribe just fine.

I'm using a very similar design[1] for a reddit-esque clone I'm working on, but I'm actually about to move away from it. The column approach makes sense at first - it seems like a great way to view multiple streams of content. The reality though seems to be that it creates more UX problems than it solves. One example is that when you have multiple frames inside a UI it destroys the page navigation. Back buttons may not do what you expect them to - does it go back to the previous view for the column you last interacted with, or does it go back to the previous url? It's very easy to simply open up another browser tab or tile a window, which gives you most of the benefits of a column UI without any of the downsides.

Encouraging violence on a forum intended for cat pictures seems pretty radical to me

i'm all for revolution, my best friend is actually a bolshevik, just don't use non-political medium to push some agenda

great work, too bad reddit is becoming a political propaganda machine

Not sure why you are downvoted. But some subs like politics and worldnews are just pure propaganda and bots driven at this point.

>are just pure propaganda and bots driven at this point

I'm curious, what's your criteria for propaganda? Is it just content/viewpoints that you don't like? Likewise, for bots. Can link to some examples of bot-like behavior that's happening on reddit? Preferably provide hard evidence of some kind, like the ones done for this story: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/01/27/technology/so...
