Absolutely well said about the stewarding traffic and influence. For eg mods of country level subs like eg r/India are known to be super overtly biased towards one side and the mods known to be siding with India's archenemy Pakistan. Same collusion is seen on India-relates news in r/Worldnews sub . It is insane levels of so called moderation.
- intended 5y agoOh story time. You should know, India meta verse drama on reddit is the most infantile stuff around, if it weren’t for the death threats and harassment. And the rabid islamophobia. And the misogyny. And the multiple essentially hate subs which want to have this content on the main subreddit. I’ve been on that forum for many years, and I’ve seen it all evolve. Here’s one example of the dumbest things that go around - a troll account called crimsondot, came up with a copy-pasta Where he claims all sorts of things, including that one of hte mods was of Bangladeshi descent. For years this claim went around, and it morphed into the general claim that one of the mods was Bangladeshi. Then in the past few years, since Bangladeshi was insufficient, it became changed to Pakistani. All of this, set up by a troll account, and now a claim repeated on HN. Frankly people have forgotten the fanatical support you found on r/india for then CM Modi. I take it as healthy that the sub has been able to constantly find itself at odds with the ruling party. IT suggests that opinion is driven by grumbling users, not by any cabal.
- chakkepolja 5y agoMeta drama started here too.. seriously both sides in Indian politics are so infantile.
- intended 5y agoTell me about it. I feel bad for even sharing this forum drama here. If you hadn't responded, I would have just deleted my comment.
- chakkepolja 5y agoSorry if that was offensive. I cringe every time I see either side with their arguments.
- intended 5y agoHah, thank you for the consideration, but you weren’t offensive in the least.
- arvinsim 5y agoWe don't even know if the country level subs are moderated by their respective actual citizens.

- dartharva 5y agoEh, if you look at the other refugee subs that propped up for people who were banished by the main r/india sub you'll see they feature the kind of toxic content that would anyway get banned in any kind of country-specific sub context. The bias existing in r/india comes from the overall general left-leaning tendency of redditors, not from any sinister conspiracy.
- thesid 5y agoyou're delusional, if you think that, go look at any of the r/india refugee subs, they make subs like r/islam and r/christianity blush
