Not only are they not participating in the Reddit protest, they are still posting about Donald Trump in 2023. Every single post is about him, the republicans, or people associated with him. Donald Trump thinks less about himself than /r/whitepeopletwitter. /r/blackpeopletwitter actually locked down the subreddit to show solidarity with the rest of the site, /r/whitepeopletwitter put the sub into approved users only mode (WHICH WOULDNT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT 3RD PARTY API’S YOU FUCKING SCABS) and look at that, nobody is posting about the protest on /r/whitepeopletwitter, how strange! But maybe I can interest you in ANOTHER BREAKING NEWS STORY ABOUT DONALD TRUMP!

I swear that there’s a group of people in the FBI who are astroturfing the fuck out of Reddit, they control whitepeopletwitter, they control news, and politics, and all the major subs that didn’t shut down. And all they do is post about how bad Donald Trump is. If Ghislaine Maxwell was a Reddit mod it wouldn’t surprise me.

Whitepeopletwitter is suppose to be a place where people post funny screen caps of :lmayo: putting their dogs in sweaters, it’s supposed to be manchildren soying out over their Nintendo switch and marvel movies, it’s supposed to be people talking about their weird uncles, and you know sometimes there’s something very serious posted. But its like now all “Trump bad”. The vibes there are bad man.

I miss the old whitepeopletwitter (well not really) but I’m trying to make a point here this subreddit sucks.

    Would not doubt it, why not? It's free propaganda.

      Subs like r/worldnews are clearly astroturfed as hell, you can scroll for minutes at a time before finding an article that isn't about a non NATO aligned country being bad, and if you check out the people who are posting the articles most of them seem to literally argue for Western Imperialism on reddit as if it's their day job.

        The only good part is that on reddit it's pretty much just an echo chamber of western chauvinists circle-jerking with fed posters over china bad. No one who can actually do anything with policy or law gives a shit about reddit and it's cetainly not used by anyone outside the anglosphere.

          Yeah, definitely. I unsubscribed from all those subreddits a few months ago so it's not even causing me psychic damage anymore (although sometimes I'll go dip my toe back in when I feel like reading some redditor cope, haha)

            Yeah I'm from the far west burbs, but I'm familiar with the Wheaton / Elmhurst / Lombard area; I'm not surprised that they're a bunch of redditors over there because I knew a handful of Elmhurst students, but I am surprised they pulled enough weight to get a shoutout like that lol
