Reddit has been dead since the late 2010s, which is when it grew from mostly just college networks and hobbyists to everyone (old people, etc.) so it was pretty much facebook.

huge number of people who make controversial statements (particularly those who are pro-russia) have their profiles set to hidden so you can’t see what else they have posted

Wasn’t that shown to be just a similar account but no proof that it was actually the reddit ceo?
