I’ve suspected that the antiwork community on reddit is a honeypot, this just adds another bit of confirmation. Any actual direct action could be dangerous to the corporate masters, better to nip these things in the bud.

    At this point I’m convinced that ALL of Reddit had become compromised. It’s been that way for at least three years, possibly longer.

    Let’s face it: whenever there’s a point (online or irl) where millions upon millions of people would congregate to exchange ideas and discourse - ESPECIALLY anti-establishment rethoric - that point was going to be a frontline for the clash of ideologies.

    And we all know which ideology has all the capital and elects to co-op everything, including criticism against itself.

      When it’s well established that feds have been monitoring TOR exit nodes for like the last 5 years, I think it should be assumed stuff as easy as Reddit is monitored and astroturfed

        They’ve had the ability to match Tor Exit node traffic to specific users since 2013 at the very least (snowden leaks talked about how they were able to crossreference certain metadata even without direct access to the exit node itself).
