they have palintir bots which they know about but wont do anything, plus russian propaganda is almost rarely get cleaned out when they do actual purges, which targets real users instead. they also now have israeli mods/bots to gatekeep criticism against israel. all the purges have target the lowest hanging fruits, irl users, than OF/link spamming the ones that are cutting into thier profits somehow.
To summarise: it's all just bots nowadays. Reddit is complete junk now.
exactly! It's as if the website is used to train bots. You can immediately tell if when you see the posts, yet they ban humans.
