Hard to go much further. I guess they could be more blatant about their position...

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
IPO, closing the API to 3rd-party mod tools, and suppressing CEO spez Huffman's history as mod of r/Jailbait ... all very right-wing moves
They’ve been giving us the boot. Banning the loud lefties..you’re seeing the results.
Plus bots.
Reddit's user base has always been libertarian basement dwellers, they just did a better job of suppressing it right when they were targeting an IPO and the culture war vibes were more profitable to Rainbow Capitalism. r/jailbait and endless Ron Paul worship ought to be the only things Reddit is known for.
When I used reddit it seemed like clearly the majority were left wing Democrats 2005-2020. But the entire spectrum was there.
When Trump won his first election there was a very strong majority against him.
Again, this was all PR and good managing. Remember the quarantining of the_donald and it being blocked from the frontpage despite being one of the largest subs with almost a million users (top 50 on the site)?
There was an entire half of the website that was hidden from you because it wasn't seen as financially smart to be seen as aa social media platform with a large conservative user base.
It’s an algorithmically driven money hound. It will go where ever the money is.
I think the simple explanation is that it is just result of reddit becoming mainstream and bringing the twitter and tiktok crowd which overtime became the larger members of the site.
Noticed it even before the third party app fiasco with things gradually turning into twitter and tiktok reposts filling the /r/all feed leading me to avoid it.
Yea... Bots or Indians. Sounds about right. Then you got the jihadists that want to genocide Israel, the West, and pretty much anyone against pedophiles. Cuz they literally worship pedos. Fuck Islam. Fuck Christianity. And fuck you if you believe in marrying children.
I’ve quit Reddit because my local sub was overcome by politically affiliated moron, the party they were pushing had to legitimize a couple of their volunteers because they were in a facist far-right group.
So yeah maybe Reddit is going the right way.
You can go further right than nazi?
