Interesting stuff.
The mainstream of reddit is going off the narrative.

there are actually people out there who honestly believe Reddit is not a lefty but a right-wing site now. How far from reality does one have to be to even form such a thought?
Well no. That is not exactly what is being said.
What is being said is that too much of the site is going off narrative. And I think we all understand that "going off narrative" is a relative term.
For example, r/Europe used to be a lot more Politically Correct than it is now.
But now it is not uncommon to see lots of stories critical of immigration and Islam. Before both were taboo.
And not simply critical, but from sites that are openly non-PC sounding like Jihadwatch.
The subreddit WorldNews having always had those kinds of elements to it, now has them even more.
That kind of thing. They still believe in social democracy for example but they've dropped a rung on the Left Wing totem pole.
Moreover, opposition to feminism is not uncommon. Yes, the users still believe in choice feminism and that patriarchy is bad. But, thanks to social justice warriors they understand much of feminism is extremely vile and that the West is very far from a patriarchy.
Dropping a rung on the totem pole.
The existence and popularity of FatPeopleHate was another aspect of this.
The infamous Jesse Jackson AMA, again, was another aspect of this.
It's swinging right in the same way a Returnofkings article described GamerGate as right wing: by comparison.
To people like Pao and SJWs the site is growing too hostile.
