So as a resident and redditor of a blue city/ red state, I sympathize. Did you try perhaps r/SanAntonio or another larger nearby city? That obviously doesn't solve the problem completely but it is one way to get better information out to those that want it.
Pretty much universally anything posted in r/Kentucky is removed by a moderator as soon as they get around to noticing it wouldn't be upvoted on r/conservative.
Excellent work on the map, so much more informative!
Thanks for the kind words. I don't really want to post it anywhere that I don't know it's topically relevant. I'm not sure it's useful to r/SA so I probably won't do that. I do not want to fuel an allegation of spam.
BTW. Still working on that big article on Mamdani. =)
I used to think FB was the most ignorantly opinionated place, then I tried to use Reddit. The moderation, if it can even be called that, is atrocious in every sub. My son told me, "I tried to tell you." The last time I posted in no other sub, but my profile was deleted by some overlord simply because all my posts (on my own profile only) were quotes and links to Substack. I won't ever go back, nor will I cluck links others supply for Reddit.
I have to admit, I like it *FAR* more here than over there. But I do wish Reddit would wrangle and expel the shit moderators so we could get that back too.
It really does vary a lot. But the baseline for perhaps the majority IS trash. I still must sing the praises of reddit in that it is one of the remaining places where your profile is anonymous (comparatively, without violating the rules, and without requiring verification of your irl identity. It's imperfect but it's still got a few important things going for it.

You could ask Arturo Dominguez at Decolonized Journalism? He's in Texas, he might have a suggestion?
