    Many years ago, before I had even discovered /r/chapotraphouse, I used to post on /r/geopolitics. Of course as you can imagine the self-important nerds there would accuse people left and right of being Chinese/Russian bots. I once asked why the fuck the MSS or FSB or whatever would spend their time shitposting on a sub with like a thousand users and they claimed that “real international relations experts post here regularly” and then I got banned.

    Worth it.

      at least when we were on reddit it made at least a little sense, since you were connected to a larger site

      the ironic thing was that user survey on reddit that found the most active city on reddit was some US Airforce base lol
