This guy is semi-notable on Twitter. He's best known for being kicked off a somewhat successful podcast for being a creep.

Even /r/Gamerghazi died and that place was vaguely succdem at the best of times.

/r/SneerClub died and that was almost certainly a targeted grudge from the admins because the admins go to the same "math pet" SV parties that big-yud does.

Yep, along with other fairly well-known ones like genzedong, there were a few niche leftists subs I subscribed to that either got banned or quarantined to death within a year of CTH or had a kind of mini mod coup and veered immediately the right. And subs like r/collapse and r/capitalismindecay that may not have been explicitly leftist but were fertile ground for it and had leftie regular posters got usurped and their narrative steered back towards a course that could still fit within the parameters of neoliberal acceptability.

/r/collapse had potential to at least be somewhat leftist but after the Reddit soft coups were done, it became a hive of ecofascist Malthusians.

For sure. r/collapse is the perfect example of how leftism was asserting itself somewhat on reddit and what the outcome of that was to be. Although that sub always had an odious element of ecofash and reactionary garbage masquerading as progressivism (we are talking about reddit-logo here of course), previously that shit would get challenged and corrected. The malthusian dreck used to get actual pushback. But after the long purge, it just became the default and even what defined the sub. Reddit was always reddit, but for a time it actually had some redeeming qualities. Not anymore, not for a while.
