Reddit regularly upvotes straight disinformation to 100K upvotes on the frontpage. Just for balance, are you going to mention that too?

  Give examples.

    The ancestor post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46149261 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46149261 already covered this.

    Sure. I dont use reddit much anymore, but even I noticed that between the gloating about Charlie Kirk's assassination, disinformation that the shooter was far-right regularly hit the front page to the tune of 100K upvotes. Is that acceptable?

      Disinformation that the shooter was far-left was all over reddit as well. People constructed all sorts of explanations because officially nothing much was known. Take a look at /r/conservative when they often suddenly completely change their shared opinion.
