It's always the 10-20 day old accounts.

I believe it is a healthy mix of two types:

  1. Shills who actively want to degrade the quality of the content.

  2. Redditors who are used to having big daddy admin (or at worst, the mods of the relevant subs) do their bidding and remove dissenting opinions if they screech loud enough.

Yeah I agree it's a mix of those two types. I think it's about 60% the first type though, given the consistency of the methods and phrasing.

They want to characterize saidit as "alt-right" even though only a small portion of the posts are about that, and act "very concerned" as they do this false labeling to legitimize it in the eyes of readers.
