Is Reddit controlled by the powers that be?

Did they ever prove that Ghislaine Maxwell was a huge Reddit contributor? 30% of contributions to /r/worldnews and moderator that's quite some influence for just one person.

Did Ghislaine Maxwell secretly run one of most powerful Reddit accounts in history? Conspiracy theory suggests Epstein's 'pimp' posted about everything from Israel to legalization of child porn for 14 years until thread fell silent on her arrest

I think when it comes to any group there is an in-group preference when deciding positions of importants. There is a natural urge to keep to people you know.

So in any forum or place of moderation it becomes gradually more and more pure in its ideological leanings. Any new person coming in also has to adhere to that ideology or they would be pushed out. The longer the situation goes on the level of tolerance for different opinions goes down.

It's like how they went around deleting big groups because they didnt agree with them, so eventually they eliminated the groups.

There seems to be a real lack of confidence or will to challenge opinions these days. It seems people would prefer the metaphorical jackboot to an actual debate.
 
Serena Williams' husband was co-founder of Reddit and only resigned in June. Not many people know that....

"Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian has announced his resignation from the board of social media site Reddit, and urged the company to replace him with a black candidate.

The company co-founder Ohanian implicitly linked his move to protests around the globe over the killing of George Floyd, who died in Minneapolis after a police officer pressed his knee against his neck for several minutes, even after he stopped pleading for air and became unresponsive."

It was more than likely the mods of whichever subreddit you posted in, some subreddits prefer mega threads for big events rather than loads of different threads
 
I recently read that 5 moderators control something like 20% of the top 500 subs, and it's likely they're being paid by corporations to push agendas and control what is being posted.

Makes sense really. If you're going to be a loser that sits on reddit moderating all day, you might as well make a bit of cash on the side.
 
I use one small-ish (80k user) PC game sub-reddit and the odd occasional tech query for Firefox so, in that very limited interaction, I can't see any "bias". I genuinely don't "get" Reddit's popularity, mainly due to my own lack of exposure to it I suppose, as it just seems like almost every other forum out there but with all these odd "social media-lite" aspects like the slavish interest users show in Karma/Awards/Gold etc.
 
Unfortunately I think we are seeing same effect of 'self censorship' like western corporations are doing in China.

Imho povetkin got lucky with that uppercut. Didn't he fall like 3 times before delivering that shot? I thought he was losing pretty badly.

Just LOL if you don't think reddit is what happens when you take a bad idea, make it worse, and then invite somehow even more terrible contributors and moderators to take the resulting steaming pile of internet manure and pop a jaunty garnish of insufferable tediousness on top.

Noobs.
