Reddit is a US-based social media site which is centered around topic-specific communities called "subreddits." Users can submit text or image posts to be voted on in each community, and users can also comment and vote on comments. It is the eighth most visited website in the United States.[1]

Fears of censorship of certain communities have led to users looking for alternatives. For example, the /r/GenZedong subreddit's fears of being censored has led them to join Lemmygrad, a pro-communist instance of the FOSS alternative to Reddit, Lemmy.

Censorship

Reddit has deleted hundreds of thousands of accounts linked to the Russian, Iranian, and Chinese governments at the request of Western intelligence organizations. It does not ban accounts connected to Western capitalist governments.[1]

Imperialist connections

Reddit's director or policy, Jessica Ashooh, worked for the Atlantic Council, NATO's think tank. She supported U.S. imperialism in Syria and praised the absolute monarchy of Saudi Arabia.[1]
