Rant: I am no Trump bigot, but it annoys me to no end that an feminist echochamber like TwoXChromosomes is on r/all. Any kind of criticism, for example when all men are blamed for not doing the dishes as if all men are dirty beasts: prepare to get burned down by horde of feminists. "This is a support group, a safe space". No it is a toxic space that I can't block in my Reddit feed (RES firefox addon doesn't work). If I can't block it, I should be allowed to give my opinion. I don't hate females, but goddamn do I hate that place.

  > I am no Trump bigot ....but let me regurgitate biggoted trumpist talking points which paint me as some sort of victim to the somehow oppressing women. RES on firefox works perfectly well for me, if twoXchromosome of all subs bothers you on /r/all just try harder to get it working.

  Is there some reason you can't / are reluctant to make an account? Then you can take this off your subscriptions and add non-default subs that interest you

  HN is not the place to file bug reports on Reddit, and people here can't help you find workarounds since you aren't enabling tools that allow you to configure your experience.

  I wanted to filter some subreddits from r/all and found out a solution using Filter List for Ublock Origin, it works like a charm. You can check it out in my repo [1] and gist itself [2].

JordanPeterson subreddit links to the_donald, but not the other way around?
- papln 7y ago
  The metric (Jaccard distance) is symmetric. The assymmetry comes from ranking: JordanPeterson is more special-interest/intense-interest with a narrower more homogenous audience than the_donald, so it probably has more very-similar subreddits to it than the_donald does. the_donald would have more related reddits but with less perfect overlap in membership. A broader base of people (about 1/4 to 1/2 of the voting age US public) is aware and supportive of Donald Trump and for a wide variety of reasons, and much more than half at at least aware of Donald Trump. Jordan Peterson has a much smaller following, who are interested in him for similar reasons to each other.

    Makes sense, JP's reddit fanbase is quite small. One slice of his videos has been seen across all the edits and platforms 500million times. He has insane reach.

In fact, a lot of users seem to post both on extreme right-wing and left-wing subreddits, I did the test for a few of these subs, and it's just baffling. Either it's because of the phenomenon called "brigading", where a thread from one side is linked on another sub which leads users of the latter to post in the former, or a lot of users are just trolls playing both sides and inciting drama and outrage between people just for kicks.
