The 2nd sub was created due to the primary sub pushing left-wing politics during the elections and just kept going farther left with approved/trending posts. Then the 2nd sub became right reactionary and pushed all the news the main sub would exclude due to leftist politics, pissing off the people who fled the primary sub due to politics. The posters are a small subset of the readers, if you think only 10 posters are conservative in one of the largest cities in the US, you are mistaken. The sub says Seattle Metro area which includes many conservative cities in King County.
Maybe when people read /r/seattle they dont want to read about more lawsuits the local government and state government have against conservatives, gun owners and business owners. The sub has become a damn PR sub for left wing politics. I read more Seattle based tech news on HN now. HN seems to at least balanced compared to reddit. (mostly, ymmv)
- seattle_spring 7y ago> if you think only 10 posters are conservative in one of the largest cities in the US, you are mistaken What I said was that there are 10 people who are the most prolific posters, and they insist on posting right-wing inflammatory garbage regardless of the actual topic. Thread on the best restaurant? Guy 2 of 10 comes in and posts about the homeless. Guy 4 somehow ties it to gun rights. Thread about transit? Better make it about Hillary's emails somehow! And hey, let's throw gun rights into the mix again.
