Isn't this the same sub reddit that had the admins edit comments on a database level? Calling something fake/false flag seems a lot more reasonable when there is already a confirmed case.



Right-wingers call anything that makes them look bad a false flag nowadays. It's like the "Boy who cried Leftist."

You're referring to this[0] incident I believe.

No, that doesn't make all subsequent claims of false flags more reasonable or likely.

Generally we judge entities based on similar past behavior. Why would this instance be an exception?
