>reddit is a self-indoctrination site to make people start talking like a moron I've been saying this for a while. It defacto enforces conformity through rewards and punishments, on a level that gradually reprograms not just your thoughts, but your moral compass as well. That's why so many ideologues push so hard to control subreddits and enforce rules. By pushing their ideology through the propaganda engine, they brainwash more people than they ever could through normal means.
