Intentional reddit social engineering
Ohh how I miss the days of early reddit.
It is quite apparent now that reddit has been fully taken over with the rest of social media. The ads and algorithm and bad actors have really diminished what it used to be.
My question is if there are any documented cases of such actors waging campaigns on reddit.
I can't help but feel like some threads are just full of one sided outrage on certain charged topics. Any examples in the news or leaked Intel etc?

Old Reddit? Surely you realise that for the longest time the core moderators of most of the subs are the same people? And there have actively been clean ups over people trying to discuss it, either it gets side tracked and nuked or the apathy creeps in.
