Reddit is LITERALLY OWNED BY THE CHINESE.

No completely serious. Tencent, the major Chinese state-owned based media investment bought a controlling stake in Reddits stock before 2016 and the infamous Ellen Pao fiasco. Ellen was put in charge of the site because she was the Chicom who took over the site after it was bought out. He attempts at heavy handed censorship caused the original core of reddit to go apoplectic and cry out. China responded by firing Ellen, taking the names of everybody who had an issue with the censorship, and banning them. They then carried on hiring extreme Left hardcore Democrats to staff the site, which was about the time Maxwell became a power-mod of the site as well. Yes Gilliane Maxwell was a mod on like 50+ of the most popular subreddits, and she was very active there, banning users left and right for not being with the program.

Since then Tencent has been running reddit as a light version of how the Chinese manage their media: which is blanket bans of anything off-narrative.

Mods over there lock posts from comments the moment a controversy erupts, you will come to threads where 90% of the comments are deleted, and they are constantly removing posts from subs.

And that is before you notice the many, many, many narrative pushing posts being made by accounts that do nothing but post liberal narratives. Absolutely nothing that happens on reddit is organic when its even tangentially related politics. Even their "wholesome memes" board started shit like "My happy face when I wore my mask on my way to get vaccinated today after saving the black people."

The only reason I maintain a Reddit anymore, is the DCS World flight sim community keep several forums that are useful for asking questions about sims, setups, HOTAS gear, and finding people to play with. This is stuff that is so under the radar that nobody cares to mess with it. Which is fine and all.
