Comment on Reddit & Gaza situation

I would say you’re just in the wrong communities, as that’s not the consensus where I browse.
But yes, every extremely large open community has people of all beliefs and all walks of life in significant numbers, and some are more obvious than others.

Yeah in my experience it's largely where you go.
Leftist spaces obv have a lot more Palestinian independence discussion.
There are lots of moderate spaces that allow open discourse that still slant toward the anti-genocide part of the equation.
Then you have places like worldnews that heavily moderate out any pro-Palestine discussion and allow for heavy astroturfing. This is kind of a big one because it's one of the more popular places to get non-US news. So if you didn't know how it was being moderated, you might just assume that reddit is just randomly super bloodthirsty or something.
