Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Let everyone have their own content.

Lmfao so glad I left that dumpster fire. r/all was he only way I ever browsed.
I mean it's been heavily filtered for the better part of a decade. I never really minded some of the filtering, which at first was just quarantining the far right, but then nsfw subs got hidden, etc. Pretty quickly it was the old standard front page with a bit of chaos.
Also strangely enough, when I first started using Reddit around 2011, everyone just went straight to the frontage for everything, and the defaults in the front page dominated the app, it was probably around 2015-2016 that people actually pivoted to /r/all after the defaults of the front page were bland and stagnant, and from then on, the admins have taken steps to make /r/ all bland and stagnant too.
Yeah, and I understand the sentiment that people don't want an algorithm on the site picking what they see, but r/all has been that way for a while. Votes have been manipulated to high hell, and while maybe it's not exactly deciding what you see, it is and always has been 100% deciding what you don't see.
