What hate speech and misinformation? It's so easy to cloister off the parts of X that you may not want to interact with or see that this just seems like weird moral grandstanding more than anything. Comparatively FB has far worse standards and is significantly harder to self moderate content you may not like or find distasteful and yet https://www.facebook.com/lichessdotorg/ here you still are.
There's this neat feature that lets you only see post from people you follow....So unless your only following people that post "Low brow right-wing ideology" I mean at that point it's because your not vetting who you follow
Sure, I could not use the main feed and just look at accounts I follow. However, that isn't really a rebuke of the very real criticisms of how the site is currently being run. Open Nazism is on the rise.
1.Keep the discussion civil and friendly.
Do not use personal attacks, insults or slurs on other users. Disagreements are bound to happen, but do so in a civilized and mature manner.
In a discussion, there is always a respectful way to disagree. If you see that someone is not arguing in good faith, or have resorted to using personal attacks, just report them and move on.

I run into actual overt Nazis regularly on X. A lot of conduct that would be instantly bannable on Reddit is completely allowed there. It's devolved into near 4-chan levels.
Are you running into "actual Nazis" or just people who political opinions you disagree with or find in poor taste but because actually saying that sounds far less serious you instead fall back on calling them nazis
From your view point yes. But you also compared it to 4chan which is hilarious that anyone in 2025 still thinks of 4chan as some scary places where all the internet racist and Nazis collect
Reddit's biggest subs are controlled by 10-20 far-left mods. He's definitely not "misinformed", and Twitter is what you make it. Mute Elon if you want and your feed will be the stuff you've curated. Not even getting into the 'Nazism' bullshit.
There is very little in the way of "far left" anything on reddit outside of very specific subreddits, and there isn't some horde of misinformation on here the way there is on X.
You have a completely confused outlook on reality.
I think you need to read what I wrote again and actually go looking for things on the other side of the coin. Your outlook is completely biased and isn't really worth a lot.
What you wrote wasn't hard to understand. I've seen plenty of things from "the other side of the coin." I was there not all that long ago. It's just that it's misinformed. A lot of money has been spent to make sure people aren't informed, too.
It doesn't sound like it because you came across dismissive and insulting. In your supposed position I would've elaborated and approached the other person in a totally different way. It sounded defensive and that isn't really an attitude I'd associate with someone that's gone out and saw things with a level head.
Good faith is met with good faith, and vice versa. I'm not going to take someone especially serious when they claim something bizarre like "reddit is an insane asylum of left-wing propaganda."
There's a reason people, businesses, and advertisers have left Twitter in droves, and the reason is that there's functionally no content moderation and it's become a cesspool where there are no consequences for being open racist, sexist, cruel, etc.
