The Reddit groupthink has made the site’s main subreddits unusable for a while. R/news is only news with a massive slant from one direction and any thought outside of the approved narrative is railroaded. Smaller subreddits are still kind of usable but suffer from similar issues on smaller scales.
Groupthink is every social media site. You go on Twitter, it's primarily right wing group think. Go on certain forums, same thing. Even Hackernews is extremely slanted on topics and it's even funnier because some of you folks are clueless on the topics at hand.
Twitter is not primarily right wing group think. There is plenty of discussion of both sides on there.
The problem is that most modern algorithms tend to recommend most stuff that you engage in, so if you continuously comment against conservative viewpoints, you are doing to get more conservative stuff in your feed.
Hackernews is by far the best because it tends to self govern with downvoting/flagging baseless comments. People definitely have a bias, but you can post disagreement on things and actually have good discussion, whereas on Reddit you basically just get downvoted and people just tell you are wrong without any sort of justification.
