This community is toxic and drives good but flawed people away.

Never apologize to the mob. It emboldens them.

Quite a few of the people seem to subscribe to the same ideology though.

> I'm sorry -- are Trump supporters not able to speak any more?

Try it. You'll be censored, down voted (real votes or not), shadow banned and actually banned.

> To my knowledge that is not at all the case. There's even one subreddit dedicated to asking Trump supporters questions, although posts have to be approved by the moderators.

I doubt there are any left given that they can't post anywhere.

Reddit was great for a long time even when it was one of the largest most popular sites on the internet. Then it became a political platform for the US democrats.

No that's not it.

Practically nothing makes it to the front page organically these days. It's all orchestrated.

I've tried posting a few times but it just doesn't work. Absolutely everything is censored or sent to auto moderation immediately. And I'm not posting anything remotely controversial. E.g. one time I moved to a new place and wondered about banking in that location. Nope, can't post that. Even worse, messages look like they're posted when they're actually not visible. It's dishonest. They're orchestrating the conversation based on what they want you to see.

That we know of that he admitted.

'Censorship', or censorship?

Have you tried Firefox recently? I switched a few months ago and so far I haven't found myself missing anything.

Maybe. But often, less is more.

Seems like it. The media tend to use quotes to emphasize that the thing they are writing is not something they believe.

X is dangerous VS X is "dangerous"

The implication is true vs not true.
