"Agenda" is what people say when they mean "I wanted to look at cat pics but you guys keep talking about real life"
No agenda means a set of actions taken under the umbrella of pushing a narrative or perspective on the world.
Reddit is so manipulated at this point. The front page always has a political agenda, unbelievable what happened to that website.
Then only subscribe to subreddits that you want to see. Like FB, most (not all) complaints could be solved by doing a few minutes of work to hide what you don't want to see.
I was in San Diego for some college stuff last Summer, and became friends with a fairly eccentric/successful dude through an even more eccentric hobby we shared... And out of nowhere, he starts dating Alexis's like... First cousin.
Anyways, Alexis seems like a great guy, family seems pretty great and well rounded (I say this because of how she described their yearly reunions)... yeah. Life's weird :O

Because I have seen multiple times that any political post or comment right of the far left getting banned? And reddit isn't connected to real life and "mainstream" in any way. In fact they can give Twitter a run for their money based on how disconnected from reality they are.
> Because I have seen multiple times that any political post or comment right of the far left getting banned? Try posting anything that is mildly critical of Biden from a slightly further left position on r/politics and see how well you fare.
What's wrong with waiting a few months to vote out Trump fairly? If you believe in Democracy and majority rule. The other side has a right to organize and communicate online. Attempts at censorship seem to be backfiring, and people have a long memory of these things. Since Trump has been in office, there have been several attempts at getting rid of him which do not involve people voting him out in a direct democratic…

Here's a relevant totally hypothetical "long con" involving Ellen Pao's hiring-and-firing and re-hiring of the original founders: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/3cs78i/whats_the... The hypothesis is posed by Yishan Wong, an ex-CEO, with responses from Altman and Ohanian. edit: I made a mistake understanding this story. Please see the correct timeline in geofft's comment.
Relevant, but I think the timeline is a bit subtler than that. (Mostly, the CEO referenced in that story is Wong himself, not Pao.) - Reddit was acquired by Condé Nast in 2006. - Founders Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman left in 2009. - Yishan Wong became CEO in March 2012. - Reddit raised its Series B in September 2014, led by Sam Altman. Wong was one of the investors. - Wong resigns in November 2014. Ellen Pao beco…
Celebrity AMAs just haven't been the same since. She was, in my opinion, one of the best parts of any of the default subs back then. It was very unexpected when she was suddenly gone with no reasonable explanation, and all the AMAs right around then were absolutely garbage. She did a lot for /r/IAmA.
Reddit got too mainstream for its own good. The company desperately wants to become the new social media (think Facebook or Twitter), but many users are standing in the way, making the change from a discussion website to a social media website slow. What made me and many others use Reddit in the first place is that it didn't really matter who you are and what's your political and religious background, the only thing…
Do you know of any federated/distributed alternatives to reddit? Although, maybe the argument is we don't actually need a social media platform at all just RSS.

Also it's not federated, but I like hubski.com

Reddit, among other social media websites, has been used as an avenue for the radicalization of, particularly, young males.
What exactly do you mean by 'radicalization'? Do young males have opinions that are fundamentally different from their fathers or grandfathers?

I'm shocked, shocked to find that a bunch of college-aged males are pushing narratives such as legalizing weed on you. Must be DNC bots.
