Back in March I was on the wuhan flu subreddit, it was really good at the time with lots of good discussions going on. Then, what it felt like over night, we had hundreds of shills and trolls come in and start posting very pro government content, at the time we were loosing faith in the governments action. So it ended up being a fight to control the narrative. We had enough and started our own subreddit, Wuhan_Fluers.

I got invited to be a mod, and the first day we got hundreds of people joining. And we could just bans the trolls. No this is not what reddit admins wanted and they banned the subreddit after 2 days. We started a new one called post corona and that got banned on the same day.

Reddit is just a narrative controlling machine and most of the stuff there isn't organic.
