Idk if Reddit got overtaken by bots lately but there are some crazy colonialist takes on the conflict sub.
With stuff like LLMs it's really easy to train bots to spew propaganda now. I bet that's precisely what's happening on reddit. This is another advantage of using niche platforms like Lemmy incidentally, they're just now worth targeting with this sort of thing.
