      personally i am fine with small communities because our ruling party(BJP) is running social media campaigns since 2013 that is why reddit is spoiled.

      i hope this grows, but steadily. so that the bad actors don’t come here.

      had they seen this post this would have been downvoted to hell.

      that is why news critical of india does not reach front page on reddit. Unless people Really try (for example the extrajudicial killing in canada).

        Is it a state sponsored thing then? I did notice, back when I used reddit, that whenever you sorted the world news subreddit by controversial, a huge part of that would be articles about negative things in India, which rarely appeared on the front page, but my assumption at the time was that it was just that India has a huge population and unlike, say, China, those people are actually allowed on Reddit, so it if some article upset some fraction of them it would naturally lead to a lot of downvotes.
