I sometimes comment in a community called wayofthebern, which is sort of a dissident left wing but good intentioned free speech sub, and reddit has been slowly purging the folks there over the past year
It's founder guy Fthumb got banned about a year ago for an absurd reason (talking about Israeli influence in Biden's cabinet), the entire website Saidit used as a backup got nuked, and out of the original folks there everyone is dwindling down

Sorry if this seems off topic to the sub or whatever, but I've been reminded of this sub during the Epstein emails and revelations, which brought me back to Kotaku-in-Action #1's original founder being a subversive trying to gatekeep everyone, which reminded me of this place
Eh, even the independent forums were mostly being consolidated into conglomerates that strictly enforced the leftist hivemind.
Used to follow the comments at a San Antonio Spurs fan forum called Pounding the Rock and right around 2016 it went to shit.
