You'd be surprised how accurate your take is on reputation management teams operating on social media.

One time I joked about blocking a domain which would have embarrassed a notorious colour revolution organisation and the next day the domain was snatched up by the named gang.

And that particular Reddit account got banned.

Reddit and Twitter are cesspools of noise and misinformation since years.

Even whole subreddits are taken over by shady admins, and totally weaponised. e.g., r/India is filled with anti-India hate posts and malicious misinformation, because that subreddit is controlled by Pakistani admins.

I was actually glad when my Reddit user account got banned for speaking some truths about history of my nation, LOL.

Lot less stress on HN, it is more peaceful, simple, and informative, I like it.
