Coordinated Alt-Right misinformation network being pushed to the front page of Reddit.

I have noticed these subs infesting my feed for awhile now and decided to take a deeper look. this shit is scary, and symptomatic of our current information landscape. and it will only get worse.

there are a shared group of moderators: https://www.reddit.com/user/SwimmerPlus3383/submitted/

Im sure there are more, Dead-end-kid is a consistent link between all these communities, two of the most popular being: https://www.reddit.com/r/EuropeNewsandPolitics/

These subreddits are flooded with misinformation designed to rage bait the user, these are often racially charged. an example being:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ThisMadeMe/comments/1ocfeot/an_immigrant_harassed_a_young_man_on_the_tube_he/

Where a video from 2023 in RUSSIA, was framed to be a British teen being harassed by immigrants. there are plenty more examples of this if you look yourself.

These subreddits have been floating to the top of peoples feeds for some reason, whether these users are botting engagement to get there, or are manipulating the algorithm, or hell being put there on purpose by reddit. i do not know. what i do know is that this is symptomatic of our society at the moment, and that people should keep their eyes open, and also report the shit out of these assholes.

EDIT: some lovely person has linked a post that is relevant to this from 4 months ago, i urge you to check it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1l8hno6/palantir_may_be_engaging_in_a_coordinated/
