> This says an admin was accused of editing posts, it doesn't provide proof. It then says users down voted him not employees of reddit.
SubredditDrama is a meta-subreddit. They linked to the post by Spez where he admitted to editing the comment — unfortunately, it's no longer available due to Reddit banning r/the_donald, but you can find numerous news articles that include his original comment. E.g., https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-38088712
> Also subbit reddit admins aren't employees , I believe most people can create a subreddit and be an admin
In Reddit terminology those are moderators. Administrators are site-wide and employed by Reddit.
That's the founder and CEO at the time, he created the reddit culture and he did the worst thing you can do in that situation: silently editing the posts of people you disagree with. Nobody said that post was proof that lots of admins do this, but it is proof that Reddits leadership is rotten to the core. If the CEO is fine with editing others speech to make it look like they said things they didn't, then obviously he is also fine with unfairly banning people or communities he disagrees with since that is a much lesser evil.
One look at r/worldnews or r/news? Those are not even some obscure subreddits.
It's a community ruled by progressives, posted into by progressives and mostly read by progressives. The content reflects that. This has been achieved by years of content filtering and banning of any centrist or right wing views. It's the definition of an echo chamber. Or another of the main subreddits, r/video, just recently I'm watching a post where a guy describes some valve or whatever and his little kid comes in yadda yadda cute video of dad with his daughter. In the comments it's all about how the guy said something about supporting truckers or whatever and how terrible that was. Yep. Meanwhile the video has basically no dislikes on Youtube..But by reading the r/video thread you'd think it's unpopular and the guy is a nazi or something. No. It's just that Reddit is a manufactured community of left wingers.
Btw try to talk about how "trans women are not women" and refer to transitioning people by their pre-transition name (because you don't recognize their transition or it is against your religion), which is absolutely a political/religious statement and 100% a point of view, see how long your account lasts :)

After US election day 2016, it was actually possible for about a day to post non-leftist posts and comments to /r/politics without them being instantly downvoted or removed for being "off topic", because the mods hadn't received new marching orders. It was quite a change, albeit temporary.
