I don't have any involvement or personal connections. It just looks weird? Honestly, I want it to be true, but I'm also old enough to remember the whole twitter revolution that was totally going to happen a decade ago but didn't. In that subreddit, what is the proportion of westerners to Iranians? I have no idea, but the one signal I have is that the posts are majority English. Which is depressing. It's like when there's a local election and reddit is a huge echo-chamber that's 100% convinced their chosen candidate will win, who subsequently gets crushed. Is this any different?
