They've been doing that more transparently on r/Sino, too.
- thepangolino 7y agoPart of Reddit is essentially owned by the Chinese government.
- AlexCoventry 7y agoReally? Where's that documented?

- AlexCoventry 7y agoThanks, I'd forgotten about that.
- agdpf 7y agoSlightly related--it was amusing the first time I went to /r/China to find it completely full of anti-China posts. I mean, it makes sense since Reddit is an American website, but it would be like going to /r/potato and finding dozens of posts on how people hate potatoes.
- seanmcdirmid 7y ago/r/China isn’t so much anti China as it is a bunch of expats in China venting on issues facing them in China. It would be like going to /r/potato and finding dozens of posts griping about the challenge of working with potatoes. Or going to /r/fortnite and seeing dozens of posts about players complaining about that damn mech. /r/sino is the China-fan subreddit, but in the same way as /r/Pyongyang is pro Kim jong un.
