>Different subreddits will have different majorities with different views, no?

No, not really.

Ignoring standard left/right policy bickering points you are still going to catch a lot of hate on Reddit if you don't think people are fundamentally untrustworthy by default and that centralized authorities (be they governments, academia, professional organizations or BigCo) are fundamentally trustworthy and credible by default.

Offend upper middle class consumer sensibilities and you'll catch a whole lot of hate from that direction too.



Unless you go to /r/libertarian?

It's hard for me to accept such a final "No" when there seems to be a sub for literally every viewpoint. However, I am willing to accept that those subs get brigaded and maybe that's what you're referring to?


A half dozen subs out of thousands and hundreds of big ones doesn't really change the overall picture IMO.


>Different subreddits will have different majorities with different views, no?

This was the comment you were remarking on, and I have difficulty reconciling "No." with the reality of all the different subreddits available.


As if there would be more and less popular opinions among the general population? Like, I would be surprised if r/clojure had more subscribers than a gaming sub.


/r/libertarian has a moderator team that is not libertarian


Then try /r/libertarianuncensored or /r/libertarian_party or make your own sub that follows your own leanings. This idea that you straight up can't find a community that has whatever particular leaning you're looking for doesn't seem very accurate.
