I've been reading up on various methods used to control places like Reddit. Of course it has been widely theorized that Reddit is heavily manipulated by astroturfing campaigns, fake comments, but it is also assumed that the ability to front page certain posts is also not organic.The US government operates so called "counter-influence" campaigns and may be behind upvoting "wholesome" content on Reddit as we speak. Since this forum shares a similar infrastructure I was wondering what kind of similar attacks it faces. What if the cabal was using fake accounts to upvote realy stupid posts on here to discredit us? They could upvote the wackiest conspiracy theories from the stupidest looking websites and then a new potential member would look at us like we're morons. Or upvoting hostile content so we tear our selves apart. What do you all think?
