Is anyone else noticing an uptick in far-right content and Russian propaganda on reddit lately?

To me it almost seems like reddit has started pushing it.

    And yet as short staffed as they are, these mods always manage to suppress pro Luigi and anti musk content

      its easy when they have AI/bot to filter out that, dont need much people to monitor those comments.

      AI has been banning people left and right as of recently.

      Remember the government saying that they were going to treat anti-musk vandalism as terrorism?

      They’re not doing that by issuing press releases.

      They’re looking for “terrorists” on social media and their subpoenas to social media sites let the site know the kind of content that the government is labeling terrorism and then the site starts banning that content.

      Meanwhile they’re using that terrorism declaration to do things like charge protesters with crimes. For the ones who are on visas (like students, professors, etc) they are using those crimes as an excuse to revoke their visas and deport them.

      Reddit is censoring things that are being pursued by law enforcement because their is no safe harbor laws that protect sites from things the government declares as illegal.

      Reddit censorship is reflecting federal law enforcement priorities.

      I would be less worried about deleted posts and more worried about who’s houses are being raided due to “terrorism” charges because they’re too vocal about healthcare reform or protested in the vicinity of property damage to Musk properties
