Well, my original comment was making a point that r/politics has become exactly what Digg became. A cesspit of bury brigades with a political aim.
I wasn't entirely sure what was/wasn't on their whitelist because I don't waste my time in that cesspit.
I'd be willing to bet money that they're not just "unpopular", but that there's a functional army of bots equipped to down-vote those domains automatically.
It doesn't matter anyway. It's not like somebody expecting a nonpartisan commentary will bother going to r/politics anyway. Anyone can clearly see it is full of only left opinions, and anything remotely right-leaning is heavily downvoted.
- Noos 8y agoYou're right, pretty much everyone knows r/politics is too left for most leftists, but people will defend to the death that it is balanced because only conservatives can be unbalanced; everyone else is a "centrist." Though this forum is getting it's own tropes. Good luck being pro-copyright, not entirely convinced the war on drugs is a massive failure, and a person who likes living in the suburbs and owning a car.
