Correct, plus if it's reddit it's possibly a bot created specifically to make that straw man real. Christians in particular have a persecution fetish, after all.

Eh I mean I was there 15 years ago when /r/atheism was a default subreddit (when default subreddits were a thing, nowadays I believe that's no longer the case). Some of the commenters/posters seemed like they'd be genuinely exhausting people in real life. Not a majority by any means, otherwise I would've unsubscribed fairly quickly.

Well then isn't it refreshing that a real human stole that reddit bot post who stole it from a human on twitter and gave it to us here on Lemmy, restoring it back to human-to-human sharing.

They found Russian agents working through social media to widen rifts in the US electorate, specifically on the vaccine debate. They had agents playing both sides: pro-vax and anti-vax.

Who knows how many entities are doing this right now? On which topics? On which social networks?

So, yes, fake atheists being assholes, but also fake Christians being assholes. You are always being manipulated. There is never a time you are not being manipulated.
