Why do Indian subreddits feel like BJP IT Cells?
Other than this subreddit, librandu, and indiameme, all the subreddits seem to be in majority support of BJP. Not matter what Modi or BJP does, they defend it. Even my state (AP) subreddit is filled to the brim with BJP circlejerk.
If you look at American subreddits, they are usually quite progressive. Many American redditors even say that Reddit has a progressive bias and most people outside are more conservative than we think.
Reddit is niche and limited to even educated, English-speaking sector of India, let alone the other parts. So I figured it would be mostly people like me who value progress, equity, and justice rather than religion and tribalism. Why is this the case?
It is ironic, but I feel Instagram is much more progressive than Reddit when it comes to India and related discussions. I once said that AP politics should discuss about education, medicine proximity, and infrastructure rather than laddu and sanatana dharma and they downvoted me to oblivion.
