I wish we could see up/downvotes like in the past. I think reddit may be artificially boosting some posts into the front page. You can see in the screenshot it has very little upvotes (or older) compared to the other top 4 posts.

I have no evidence other than noticing right after the election, /r/conservative seems to be hitting the front page every day. But I remember before the election, it only hit the front page once in a blue moon or so. Is this just me? Am I the only one noticing this?

    I feel like the Democratic Party did a lot of this to themselves. They’ve been stepping on rakes for a while now.

      I can’t argue with that. But the genocide Joe chant spread far and wide, meanwhile the creators of it knew very well what a Trump win would accomplish.

        I still believe the genocide Joe stuff was only heard strongly because it was pushed by the professional Russian troll farms. I know there are several real people on this platform that may hold the same opinion. But they’re not nearly as loud after election day.
