well way back in the day reddit was just college dudes sharing cringy memes the politics were libertarian (ron paul, etc) i wouldnt call it more extreme than 4chan, but their were definitely extreme subreddits (r/coontown r/beatingwoman, etc) that stuff started getting banned around 2012-2014 then jokey shit like r/fatpeoplehate started getting banned in 2015 there were still left wing and right wing opinions, r/the_donald was on the front page all the time in the lead up to the 2016 election. but afterwards pretty much everything slightly right leaning was getting banned, normies started using the website, power mods took over everything, and now we have the leftie echo chamber it is today
