      There is a similar thing happening on reddit too… r/Publicfreakout comment sections are far more empathetic to Palestine then you would expect, but then r/Worldnews is full of genocide supporters. It’s wild.

        World news is almost certainly more heavily astroturfed by the west and its mods aligned with banning anyone who goes against the state dept line. Feds probably put less stock in controlling subs outside that, news, politics ones.

          Yeah, no place are as heavily manipulated on reddit as /r/politics and /r/worldnews (even the latter pales compared to the former though).

      I would not rule out the grad and hex users have accounts there. Not saying all based comments come from us but I’m sure there’s some overlap. Which is good. Prevents those Nazis from being able to fully alienate the users from our influence.
