I regularly get accused on Reddit of pushing misinformation and conspiracy theories for saying things that on Hacker News warrant merely a nod or a shrug. Reddit's group-think has become more extreme in recent years, along with its tribalism and gate-keeping. You can make a list of about a dozen Reddit-acceptable thoughts for any given subreddit, and anything outside that list is labeled the propaganda of the Enemy. Poor overworked mods have to go around reprimanding or banning me for commenting perspectives that weren't explicitly on the allow list.
