What’s the likelihood that it gets astroturfed? I’ve noticed a lot of the British subreddits are bizarrely brain-wormy and I can’t tell if that’s just really how the country is or if there’s an attempt to manipulate public opinion.
Oh there’s 100% liberal groups operating, just as there are conservative groups operating in the other subs. The tories have taken to acquiring the major subreddits through quiet takeovers though and slowly turning them further and further right wing over time. The liberals on the other hand are morons that believe in either posts, comment spam or making alternative subreddits that typically fail because they inadequately understand the platform.
