    They’re not the only ones.

    Reddit stole the r/NoKings subreddit and has locked it out. They claim it’s up for adoption as of 5-months-ago but will of course never cede it to the organizers of No King’s.

    ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN etc., have barely mentioned it, and it doesn’t remotely come up in Google News save for a sparse few pages of local news stories.

    The only good news from representing my area is that while the protest was half the size of past ones, general support from people on the road was much higher with much less dissent.

        Peter Thiel is one of reddit’s long time investors. They like to keep this out of conversation.

        It’s up there with Musk buying Twitter and Zuck being Facebook. They manage to sell themselves to normies as the social media that’s not like the others.
