The once hilarious, once satirical, r/pyongyang subreddit is now unironically an influential bastion of Communist propaganda. Its contributors are no longer ironic or ban-posting - they are true believers, and they're indistinguishable from the moderators of most all major subreddits & the corporate overlords who tacitly support them. At this point, none even bother to pretend they believe in "free speech" as a human right. The "you have now been banned by r/pyongyang" punchline is now far more relevant to any subreddit, thread or comment that is not sufficiently left wing (as defined by current date/time). Reddit is "democratic" insofar as the most upvoted thread/comment makes it to the top, right? No. Around 2016, something happened. (Won't speculate here). Now every default subreddit is run/moderated by explicitly far left wing activists. All non-default subreddits with any level of popularity is similarly run/moderated by explicitly far left wing activists. If it ain't far left Tumblr leftist, it's right wing, and it shall be either annexed by a left wing mod and converted or outright banned. I'd love to hear HN's strategy to combat this. It is truly nuts. But at this point, we all expect it.
