It’s surreal how the current /r/place is a window into just how much more Reddit has “morphed” over the years. It always has been a hive of astroturfing and propaganda but never this blatant.
Compare this year’s to the 2017 one. Aside from the country subs and the Hammer and Sickles (which libs would now erase because R*ssia), there was hardly anything even remotely all that spicy and political. This despite Reddit tolerating cringeanarchy and gamersriseup at the time.
something about “historical revisionism” regarding “holodomor”. it wasn’t banned, just perma quarantined
it used to have this (now dead) site on quarantine message https://web.archive.org/web/20181026015114/https://eureconciliation.eu/institutions-promoting-awareness-and-remembrance-of-communist-crimes/
