Lol thank you for that article. I never knew reddit started out by astroturfing their own site. I'm sure they'd probably stopped doing that by the time I joined, but with that, various leadership/admin scandals in the time since, and now gaslighting third party app devs/users, I'm pretty much done with their shit. I might browse communities that haven't gone another direction yet, but I don't think I'm going to contribute anything over there anymore.
