    Many years ago, before I had even discovered /r/chapotraphouse, I used to post on /r/geopolitics. Of course as you can imagine the self-important nerds there would accuse people left and right of being Chinese/Russian bots. I once asked why the fuck the MSS or FSB or whatever would spend their time shitposting on a sub with like a thousand users and they claimed that "real international relations experts post here regularly" and then I got banned.

    Worth it.

      at least when we were on reddit it made at least a little sense, since you were connected to a larger site

      the ironic thing was that user survey on reddit that found the most active city on reddit was some US Airforce base lol

        That’s probably just because the only people who would join the military were Redditors shudders
