I just read on the Twitter that someone found a Reddit account that they think was owned by Ghislaine Maxwell. It is my opinion that Reddit is a show and a club. What do by "a show and a club"?
I mean that only individuals who are in the "club", are allowed to post [and communicate]. For the rest of us, it's a "show".
What is a "show"? It's full of (1.) stupid distractions and (2.) pushes propaganda. To clarify item 2. It is intended to make you think that the MSM propaganda is true. How? The "actors" in the "show" all believe it. You think that the show is real life.
The stupid distractions are to distract you from seeing what's really going on in your life.
What's to prevent the general public from drowning the carefully curated junk? New users can barely post. Sign up to Reddit. You will be lucky to be allowed to post a single reply to a post. Common sense tells us that you probably cannot have a thriving social network with such a lockdown. All of your users will be discouraged. Hence the actors.
So suppose that you post something out of line. They might throw an insult and then instruct you to "lurk moar". Implying that you need to learn how to post. Further implying that the forum is for reading, not posting.
To reiterate: Reddit is a show and a club.
Because they're a publisher, they are probably violating US law with some of the stuff that they post. But that's for the Justice Dept to decide.
