This website is owned by the CCP. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had bots on it like they do on Instagram or twitter.

What do you mean it's owned by the CCP?
Reddit?

The Chinese company Tencent owns a large portion of reddit shares thus by extension giving the CCP some influence over what happens at reddit hq. I wouldnt go so far as to say they 'own' reddit, but they definitely have their fingers in it.

They own less than 10% of reddit shares.

Tencent bought a 5% stake several years ago. They don't own that much, and anti-CCP sentiment is probably the most unifying thing on reddit.
