I swear the Dutch socialist subreddit gets more right wing by the day. - eviltoast

It’s called r/poldersocialisme and I feel like even the slightest anti-imperialism or ML thought gets scrutinized there. Today with the war in Palestine, every single pro Palestine comment or post got downvoted. This wouldn’t have happened a year ago I feel like. Slowly the subreddit got run over by more social democrats and even right wingers. The mods don’t do anything to stop it. They are actually making it worse. I once got a tempban for ‘denying the Uyghur genocide’. They have a flair for right wingers as well, like theyre inviting them. What’s the point of a Dutch socialist subreddit when the viewpoints are the exact same as the ones that are already established throughout the whole Dutch media landscape?

Sorry for my niche rant, but as a Dutch ML I feel more alone in my viewpoints every day, and I’m losing hope in the Dutch left but hope I can do something to revitalize it.

    I assume a lot of actual leftists left Reddit in the mass exodus this year like I did, which would leave the entire site more rightist.
