/r/all sorted by hot is items roughly sorted by popularity. Only if you sort by new, would it be a flood of contents by time.
We can take a quick survey of /r/all sorted by "hot" as of this moment. The very first post I see with AoC is literally this:
"""AOC tells Joe Biden: Cancel more student loans to have "any chance" in 2022"""
The top posts? All in support. Where is the dominant conservative force that warps conversation around it.
HermanCainAward, literally a subreddit celebrating the deaths of the unvaccinated tops all regularly. How the hell is that "covid skeptic right dominant"?
Is your idea of "reddit is conservative" that reddit hosts conservative communities at all? Even if they're smaller than the left-aligned communities there?
EDIT:
Some other quick statistics:
Size of /r/conservative: 923k
Size of /r/lgbt: 864k
Size of /r/hermancainaward: 500k
The "lol antivaxxers died" community is literally half the size of the largest conservative subreddit. The LGBT subreddit is the same size as OP's bugbear /r/conservative. The very much Dem supporting /r/politics is an order of magnitude larger than either of those, at 8 MILLION subscribers.
Yeah, I was waiting for this comment. The OP you're responding to is way way WAY overexagerating the opinions of the body politic of reddit.
Reddit is so large that having a potent conservative force is an inevitability - and much as we don't want to admit, for all the nastyness that goes on there, it's still a space that forces conservatives to be relatively speaking on "good behavior" (imagine if gab/voat/parler successfully displaced reddit), and more recently also forces their ideology to be heavily moderated (as in, to become more moderate), and watered down.
Also LOL at criticism of the car community for being bad at recommending SUVs. Reddits car enthusiast community is made up of people whose favorite car by and large is the Miata. Is the Miata a good car for a soccer mom? No. Is the Miata the car of dudebro conservatives? Uh, HELL NO!
I hate to say it, but sorry Karen, Reddit is for your son, not you.
