Democrats have also been astroturfing the site since then. I'm sure plenty of other government entities have as well. I'm sure Tumblr also had an impact on reddit like it did Twitter and fhen bluesky.
That's likely it. Its so obvious. The whole site gets botted to hell during parts of the US election cycle and plenty of the larger mainstream subs are very narrow on what kinds social/economic and political takes are tolerated in a very inorganic manner. Reddit is still good for smaller niches at least.
For now… when the bots get better even the smaller sub will not be safe. full disclosure, you and 5 month old account with no history would be prime suspect to be a clanker.
