Reddit is owned by Chinese. It's as bad as China state news now.

/u/Orangutan were/are you a QAnon guy?

"a QAnon guy" can you extrapolate on that label any for me to determine if I identify with that at all?

A person who followed QAnon in an effort to either get insight on the current events "big picture", or insight/hints about planned future events.

Yeah. I looked in on the QAnon stuff to see what it was all about. I was surprised it got banned from Reddit.

Did you find anything interesting?

A lot of curious people got educated on issues such as the DNC leaked emails, Seth Rich's death, Blackmail, and Political corruption in general. Broke the taboo on a lot of things that get disregarded too easily by too many people.

I had head this, and of course forgotten about it.

That is a really good point.

From that perspective, I kinda wish I had gotten into it.

It would be interesting to learn that some dedicated Q analyst made the difference in some unforeseeable situation.

Things sometimes work out that way. We can hope.

A subreddit about an infectious disease got quarantined, it's kinda funny.

Any way, got to keep th narrative under control.

That's an interesting point.

Corporate Reddit: Factual information is a disease. It must be isolated and eradicated.

It's just a cold. They make it look super scary but really, people who tested positive for it stayed home for a few days and are now 100%

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Also, EVERY SINGLE YEAR the "new cold" is also a "new virus". Sigh.

Reddit went corporate though, its a lot like the state altering its tactics to contain the citizenry due to rising population numbers and snowballs toward being rogue.

Eventually, and this is a vague projection; but if trends remained the same- there would not even be a world news section, a conspiracy section or anything organic within 10 more years of that site. The majority of internet comments or communities would be bots that have passed the turing tests for human interaction, real people and real comments could just be banned outright because the bots would be hostile against them. Any error, even grammatical! Could be grounds for expulsion due to the increasing corporate cleanliness of the site-statist in charge.

Kinda-sorta like a walled in first world country that goes rogue by hating a huge chunk of the human element? Heads toward d00m.. just a vague projection though :P

they should have done that years ago starting with anti-vaxxer crap. it's good to see them finally get ahead of the curve.

It sounds like you are a supporter of censorship.

Do not waste your time with that dude, honestly.

Yeah, user fruitcake is a hit and run mainstream lefty troll/shill.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Dude, maybe its just their opinion. Is it really worth it to scapegoat them as a shill or a troll? The same accusations can be thrown back so its not worth it to get personal right?

IssuesXYZ is also one of them. AKA [deleted].

Takes one to know one! And I am NOT one so I really don't know about you :P

If it's crap then you needn't worry about people taking about it :), it won't catch on

Your mother should've swallowed you alas here we are.
