It's kind of well-known and a long-running meme at this point that Redditors have a superiority complex about other platforms and think only theirs is the most "intelligent" and "rational" platform. It dates back to when it was mostly controlled by right-libertarian fedora-wearing raging atheist types.
Did you just log on to the Internet for the first time yesterday?
Those were the good ol days. Now it's controlled by maga. It's getting closer to twitter every day, soon it will just be another republican propaganda site
What the fuck are you people on about? Have you been on reddit? Go look at r/all right now, or any other time. You have to go to r/conservative to find magats, and even there you'll find skeptical sentiments.
I was perma banned for saying "fuck all republicans". They don't want maga to be tied to the republican party for when trump is gone
Edit: this was when trump 'won' the second time and everyone was shouting "fuck maga".
And that experience tainted your view of reddit. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of reasons not to like reddit as a company, but the community is not the company. It's up to you to make your own experience good or bad there, same as in lemmy.
