I have never gone to reddit before today. I saw someone on FB post about some church pastor claiming that it is because he is a Christian he thinks everyone should get the covid shot. I tried to find what church he was from, but couldn't, but did find a link to where the article was posted on reddit. I looked through the comments, and they seem identical to the comments people post on twitter. Is anyone over 30 posting to either platform? :)

Bots. Gaslighting. Want us to think we r in minority.
This right here. Reddit is an incredibly easy platform to manipulate. Really anything with a "like, upvote, etc" where info is then moved to the top can be manipulated via bots upvoting whatever they want you to see and hiding what they don't. It's why a common shill tactic here is to load up the feed with nonsense and then have your bot net or fellow shills updoot pushing other posts down. As is crying about wanting a sticky on your own post 3 minutes after posting it and getting all your little bot accounts to come in and say the same thing. Never understanding that people can tell when something is "hot" and when something is just forced nonsense. Thats part of why it was super trendy for a few weeks here to post low effort screen shots of cringey asf t-shirts. Its just to clog shit up. To manipulate the feed.
great explanation. and you're so right that we can 'tell' when something is manipulated.
immediate downvotes are an obvious red flag, funny that the shills don't understand that.
The thing is, a lot of redditors know all the fuckery that is going on, but yet they stay and consume the bot/mod narratives and suppression. I don't know what they think they are being a part of.
Yep how many times have we seen the montages of identical posts from different names?
