    Reddit is also killing all sources of data egress and will likely sunset the old interface when their numbers look good enough and the new interface is less usable for finding counter-narratives and likely less searchable by search engines.

    Remember that the profit motive of reddit is not separate from war profiteering as the companies that are involved in any IPO are the same companies that control pretty much every other industry.

    If you grant Musk’s incompetence and you grant Twitter’s function in state propaganda then the MIC isn’t letting Musk buy it out and they aren’t letting him make decisions when they already have state actors in executive positions at Twitter to handle and manage him.
