I assume someone’s deleting critical news articles there, or having bot armies downvote them. On Kbin and Lemmy and Squabbles, even on Google News, I see Reddit’s woes front and center.

It’s one thing to hear about this manipulation and another to experience it though. The moment reddit restored my comments multiple times I knew how fucked Reddit really was/is.
wait. They did that? I thought that my reddact ‘forgot’ to delete some comments…

Nevermind, I just went on reddit to check this. All my comments had been deleted except some that Reddact changed with nonsense stuff such as :
