It's interesting how you're calling out foreign astroturfing, when I see reddit as full of utterly banal, uninteresting, and embarrassingly nationalistic domestic propaganda that often lacks even a shred of self-awareness and self-reflection (and would be downvoted to hell if posted by the 'other' side). Perhaps that's what the 'marketplace of ideas' is supposed to produce. It's supposed to be a global site for global users to talk to each other, not an echo chamber for us to clap each other on the back[1] as we regurgitate our propaganda. [1] Top two threads on Reddit right now are about a negative-to-China political cartoon, but I don't imagine that you call people upvoting that out as trolls and astroturfers... Because it aligns with your world view. The other side doing it is outrageous and tasteless and propaganda, our side doing it is, well, normal. To our sensibilities.
