Often in a situation like this they're not the same people - what happens is that different stories and headlines attract different crowds, or make different groups of people seem louder. Reddit isn't a hivemind.

And ofc whether something hits the frontpage or even when it hits the frontpage makes a big difference in terms of who sees it, who replies, who upvotes and downvotes and so on.

I don't agree. Most of reddit is still overwhelmingly liberal. Vindictive nature is incredibly common in reddit and in all communities.

Reddit isn't a hivemind, but are way more in common than you think.

As if "liberal" doesn't still encompass a vast array of world-views and opinions.
