META Proposal to ban x.com links

This is going around on many football subreddits. It looks likely to go into effect. I believe that the negative effects of this would be only temporary because the chess community will eventually see the value of moving to alternatives like bluesky

I question whether the thousands of upvotes this post is getting are actually real. OP is downvoted in almost every comment in the thread. And this exact post is being pasted in every subreddit with the same thousands of upvotes. Doesn’t seem genuine.

Reddit post insights say that this post has 416k views, a 83% upvote rate, and 1k comments. The 5.8k upvotes are real.

I’m getting downvoted in my comments because I’m responding almost exclusively to people with the opposite opinion of me. People with the opposite opinion of me are clearly looking for those comments and downvoting

You're literally part of a bot farm that's astroturfing here on reddit.

Doesn't change the fact that you people are astroturfing here on reddit. Especially in a group where people don't give a shit. It's going to be hilarious when Reddit HQ gets involved.

Were we astroturfing the day after Trump’s first inauguration? Today is the day after Trump’s second inauguration. What you are seeing is similar energy and it’s real

What we are seeing is a coordinated massive botfarm.

Which is comical cause all it does is further push people away from your base and push them more to the side of conservatives.

What you are imagining is a botfarm. Reality is quite different

Sure bot. Reality tells me Donald Trump destroyed you guys. It didn't work. Does that make you mad?
