You know what made reddit shitty? It wasn't the dev team (they were shitty too), it wasn't the website flaws, and it wasn't the banwave of censorship. It was the people. It was you guys.

Don't know why you'd dismiss that as a conspiracy and flatly state CCP doesn't censor Reddit.

What's your proof of CCP censoring Reddit? Why haven't they turned r/China into a pro-CCP sub? Why is r/HongKong anti-CCP with a top post promoting a revolution? If they're in control they're doing an awful job of censoring... and what's with the fixation on some Chinese people owning 5%? Why does nobody care who the owners of the other 95% are and what their intentions may be?

hence why I callout your aims as you continue to make these false equivalencies in order to avoid admitting that the CCP has a history of censorship and money is an influence.

The CCP has a history of censorship and money is an influence. I said it, are you happy?

Same is true for the U.S. government lol

Well yeah. Condé Nast has a history of censorship too ahha

After more digging, I see that tencent invests in a ton of US companies, like Tesla etc... you're right that if there is evidence of CCP influence in Reddit, other than individual users, I don't really see it. Maybe Sino banning trolls and the odd Wuhan virus subs that got quarantined.

Mostly just admins crushing free speech now to go mainstream media.
