Does it bother you that Reddit Shutdown comments during last nights debate? Discussion
Curious if it bothers you that Reddit shutdown comments during last nights debate. I'm not super sure of how the internals of Reddit work ie did Reddit hide comments or did moderators, I do know a handful of mods control most of Reddit but it was intersting to see a megathread on r/politics with 1800 comments showing 0 comments, even threads on here, r/millenials and numerous other subreddits would show minimal comments of those posted or none at all.
What's the justification for this? Does it bother you?

This website was essentially taken over by the DNC in 2016. I’m older Gen Z a lot of you probably don’t realize that it wasn’t super biased towards progressive leftism before then. It was actually right libertarian back in like 2012 and slowly drifted to the current state it’s in over time but the big thing was Trump’s election.
So no I’m not surprised, very few people are going to talk about Biden’s performance after today. It will be back to how great he is, even though it’s clear he’s not calling the shots because he is in no state to. I just wonder who is actually in charge of our country because it certainly isn’t this man.
