they're not tho. Reddit's communism subs are still larger.
When you say that these fringe communities have government shills, you just look like a nutter, equally of a nutter as to when they think this community has government shills.
As noted, thatβs exactly what people said about every community ever. βShills? Manipulation? Nobody would do that!β except that various world governments funded divisions to do exactly that, it turns out.
aight dude, no need to freak out. just saying that it's waaay unlikely for government shills to operate on a small internet forum compared to large social media.
Same as yours, experience. I've been active on voat, ruqqus, said.it--Almost all the reddit alternatives. No one is shilling.
Like think of it at a logistical level in the perspective of a shill boss. Would you really dedicate resources to shilling a community already self-radicalised by its admins? Or would you dedicate those resources to mainstream social media websites where the admins have a very hands-off approach to politics?
