An internet history has demonstrated since Usenet: not only do moderated spaces generate incredible value, unmoderated spaces generally devolve into toxic cesspools as they grow. The moderators of r/AskHistorians understand exactly how propaganda spreads and combats it with clearly-defined content guidelines and strict enforcement for things like holocaust denialism.[1] Sandy Hook propaganda utilizes the same mechanisms of dispersal, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if there was a link between the sources of this stuff.
