  • “Reporters” from The Federalist caught the Harris campaign organizing astroturfing on reddit-logo.

    CW: The Federalist

    They ended up getting into a discord server run by a campaign staffer that was organizing volunteers and maybe some other staffers to post/boost/brigade content on Reddit. They found that 126 of the top 1000 posts over the past month on r/politics were from users involved in the astroturfing campaign. The campaign also made a public Google doc that the writer took some screenshots of but, unsurprsingly, forgot to make a copy of lol.

    At the end of the article, they call out some funny moderating going on in the Texas sub, which was noticeable to me. I got banned there maybe two weeks ago for saying I wasn’t going to vote for Kamala over her support for genocide.

    Some screenshots:

    List of reddit usernames involved and local subs being targeted. For some reason the site would let me upload more photos, so here’s a link to them instead:
