Democrats are reportedly coordinating activity on Reddit and abusing X Community Notes
Kamala Harris’ and Tim Walz’s campaign staff have organized “astroturf” operations on the social media platform Reddit and conspired to manipulate the Community Notes feature on X, according to an American researcher.
The Harris-Walz campaign “fraudulently games Community Notes with sock puppet accounts and astroturf tactics. And we have the screenshots and spreadsheets and campaign comms to prove it,” Sean Davis, founder of the outlet Federalist, posted on Wednesday.
Davis was citing a series of articles by a researcher going by the handle ‘Reddit Lies’, including screenshots taken from the Harris-Walz server on the messaging platform Discord, purporting to show how the Democrats conspired to swamp social media with their content, while suppressing criticism.
What a surprise. All that crying about Russia, Russia, Russia. Many of us have long known that there was coordination going on and that the teams and tactics date back to the Hillary campaign.
The researchers are of course Republican reactionary types. But it’s nice they’re paying attention and howling about this as it would be if they do something to harass or punish these people if they win power as they are ever so annoying.
If RT says the sky is blue are you going to say that’s just Russian propaganda as well? Because the fact that this is happening is about as obvious as the previously stated fact, regardless who is saying it.
