Remember in 2013 when reddit made a blog post about reddit meetup day with some statistics and they accidentally left in Eglin Air Force Base as the “most addicted city?”
Of course, can’t have the plebs knowing that the site is manipulated by the US military, so they hid the truth, but archive.org remembers.
It’s just as likely there’s no conspiracy there. It’s reasonable that Reddit was just big at that one particular place, more than other place (per capita), which can make sense given that those people actually talk to each other more than a typical city would.
I do think the US government was pretty good about not propagandizing its own people from within the government. There was a long period of time where non-partisan roles were expected to remain non-partisan. That’s part of why the Biden admin didn’t go after Trump like they should have. They didn’t even want the potential appearance of partisan government. In hindsight, yeah, that may have been foolish. They were fighting a five alarm fire with dollar store plastic squirt guns.
